Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A family vacation during the summer of 1985 changes everything for a teenage boy obsessed with ping pong.”

Poster: C

Review: As lamely cheesy as the types of posters created for the types of films that this “throwback” is gently poking fun at. The ping pong ball faces seem utterly predictable and the background is ill-fitting and boring.

Trailer: D

Review: Every great actor must make bad movies and some must make a series of bad movies. Sarandon looks poorly used in a hokey, excitement free ’80’s homage that apparently couldn’t afford any of the great ’80’s music it surreptitiously references in the trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
