The first movie combining Ping-Pong and kung-fu and co-starring Maggie Q. How many could there be?
The movie flaunts its ridiculousness and offers a relentless string of jokes about blindness, groin-bashing, and bodily odors.
A lifeless pingpong comedy that ricochets from one flat gag to the next.
The real trouble is that it's supposed to be an outrageous comedy, but in fact it's fairly tame and not all that funny.
The nicest thing is the Asian American actress known as Maggie Q.
