Product Description

The year is 1985. Rad Miracle is a shy, 13-year-old white kid obsessed with two things: Ping-Pong and hip-hop. During his family's annual summer vacation to Ocean City, Maryland, Rad makes a new best friend, experiences his first real crush, becomes the target of rich, racist local bullies, and finds an unexpected mentor in his outcast next-door neighbor. Ping Pong Summer is about that time in your life when you're treated like an alien by everyone around you, even though you know deep down you're as funky fresh as it gets

5.0 out of 5 stars The 80s.
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2014

I gave it 5 stars, not because the film is perfect, but because 5 stars on Amazon indicates "I love it" and indeed I do. I read an article that said Ocean City, MD, the beachside tourist community in which this film is based, has not changed much since the 1980s. This would partially explain why the director, cast and crew have managed to capture the feel of that decade on a limited budget. It reminds me of a deliberately campier version of "The Way, Way Back" -- everything about the movie is deliberate, and that's why it succeeds. If it tried to be heavy-handed and poignant, one might see right through it. But it's hard to be dismissive about a movie that loves its era so much that it exacerbates some of the goofiest parts about it in order to further endear to that time and this particular place. It really made me want to visit Ocean City (we have a town like it where I am originally from called Seaside, OR) and blast New Edition on my car stereo. They are selling the soundtrack to the film on cassette tape on their website; that's how dedicate they are to this craft of nostalgia. Buy this movie if you love the 80s and coming of ages stories. Buy it now. And RIP, Casey Kasem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, unique comedy
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015

Writer/director Michael Tully’s last film was 2011’s bizarre comedy "Septien," and maybe being familiar with that film helps make sense of his follow-up, "Ping Pong Summer." Even more than "Wet Hot American Summer," this film feels like something that could have actually been *made* in the 80s, but Tully’s focus on unique, realistic characters sets it apart from straight parody. Newcomer Marcello Conte is fantastically awkward in the lead role of Rad Miracle (!), but Myles Massey totally steals the show as Teddy, Rad’s new best friend for the summer. The film evokes the weirdness and discomfort of being a teenager on extended family vacation perfectly, following Rad as he hangs out with Teddy at the local arcade (The Fun Hub) and makes an enemy of a local rich kid, but also spending a lot of time with Rad’s family–including a visit to Rad’s beach bum aunt and uncle played by Amy Sedaris and Robert Longstreet that’s as creepy as it is funny. If you’re expecting a straightforward parody of 80s teen movie tropes, you’re probably going to be utterly perplexed. However, if you’re willing to engage "Ping Pong Summer" on its own terms, you’re in for a treat.

1.0 out of 5 stars If they were going for a bad 1980s movie vibe, they nailed it.

This is a really bad movie. The acting is bad, the dialogue is cheesy and bad, the plot is contrived and bad, and I can’t tell you how bad the ending is because I couldn’t stick around long enough to stomach it, but I’m sure it was bad too. Susan Sarandon doesn’t become a significant part of the movie until 25 minutes left, which tells me they just wanted to add her name to the credits and she wanted an easy payday. This movie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and should be avoided at all costs. You have better things to do with your time — trust me.

Since I grew up near Ocean City, MD, I enjoyed much of the scenery. The story line is similar to Karate Kid, except the game is ping pong. This is a movie all members of the family can see. It's nice to see a movie with no cursing or sex for a change, and no one was murdered. It's just a feel good, happy ending, relax and enjoy type of movie.

All of humanity can be divided into two categories: (1) those who have seen this movie, and (2) those who have not seen this movie.

Similarly, my life can be divided into two stages: (1) my life before seeing this movie, and (2) my life after having seen this movie.

Way better than the reviews if you fit/appreciate a certain demographic. I am in that targeted audience. I am forty. I am white. I am pretty nerdy. I like ping-pong. I used to attempt to breakdance in the 1980's. I had a Michael Jackson zipper jacket just like in the "Beat It" video. I like very early rap music.

This movie played like a home movie filmed inside my memories of 1984-1986. No part of this movie knowingly pokes fun at the 80s. There is no winking at the camera or mugging it up for the audience. The script/characters are earnest. They are in the 80s. From that earnestness, a ton of humor is derived.

While I enjoyed the many Ocean City, Maryland references, store front shots and the overall 80's vibe of the movie, the acting was worse than church theater, the casting was worse than a first time fly fisherman and the story line was shallower than the dry lake bed of the salt flats.

3.0 out of 5 stars I sure I'd want to go to Ocean City after seeing this.

While the story was simple, unoriginal but cute, the acting talent ran from bad to adequate. I did enjoy the guy who played Rad's dad. As a veteran OC vacationer, It was fun recognizing the different locations, the Thrashers french fry bucket, Dumser's Dairyland custard. There were a lot of "inside" jokes and if you are not familiar with the DelMarVa area, you probably didn't even know they were supposed to be funny (Like Amy Sedaris' comment about her seashell sculptures selling well at Rehoboth[Beach, Delaware-- a smaller beach town north of OCMD]). Was there ever really an arcade in the back of Anthony's? I don't recall ever seeing any other kids walking around with ping-pong paddles. Lastly, as a former Marylander (grew up in MD) and veteran OC vacationer (still visit every few years), I felt like the movie was not too complimentary to townies or vacationers. It really made the people who live in and visit OC look like a bunch of goofballs with various mental and physical maladies. It looked downright clinically aberrant! OC is a loud and fun family destination with a beautiful beach and a boardwalk second to none (arguably) on the mid-Atlantic coast! Much better things to do than play ping-pong!

This movie was so cute. It first drew me because I'm an annual OC goer and had been a resident of the Salisbury area so it's cool to see a movie in town. The movie was too cute and so were the kids. Definitely were rooting for them in the movie. A definite family and feel good movie and nostalgic for OC and Maryland residents :) Also Mount Airy is the next town over from me currently which we never get any movies there. Too Cool! overall definitely a family friendly movie :)
