Trailer: "The King of Ping Pong"

"The King of Ping Pong" is one of those outcasts-who-(possibly)-do-well movies that usually leaves the audience in a good, I-can-triumph-over-all mood.  A chubby kid who's really good at one thing -- the precision smacking of a ball to the other side of a table over a little net -- must fight through the pressures of growing up.  You can see the trailer of it on YouTube.

Amid the ticket scalping and Sundance watchers saying the fest is one of the only reasons to visit Utah, this seems like one of those personal movies that the fest was made for. Hope to see it Friday night.
