Downright absurd, but ineffably entertaining, and you simply have to take this for what it is, and get on board.

Summer coming-of-age tale is high on nostalgia, low on plot.

While there are substantial shortcomings to the picture, it knows how to have a good time, playing with teen cinema conventions as it checks off its laundry list of references and sense memories.

t all sounds like pretty familiar coming-of-age film fodder, but Ping Pong Summer reinvigorates the genre.

Without a heavy emphasis on heart-shaped nostalgia, "Ping Pong Summer" would be nothing.

While "Ping Pong Summer" does aggressively pander to viewers' nostalgia (dig that Nike track suit, and Run-D.M.C. cassette tape!), it's also warmer and funnier than its worst jokes.

While the film feels overly familiar in plot, it's lightweight, pleasurable tone causes it to glide by.

The stakes are low throughout the film - even the bullies are mostly bluster - making the big finish an anticlimax.

A ho-hum memory piece that could have used a bit more objectivity, not to mention depth and energy.

This gentle comedy, while entirely unmemorable, releases a genuine warmth that deflects harsh judgment.

It's so dedicated to the odd textures of its world that it becomes something else - personal, abstract, and strangely honest.

[Tully achieves] a winning innocence of spirit in which performances and production design are all perfectly synched to his low-key comic vision.
