watch the trailer for ping pong playa


Check it out! Yahoo! Movies has posted the trailer for Jessica Yu's sports comedy Ping Pong Playa. It's a fun little indie movie, but I'll be honest—this trailer is rather bad. It definitely lays on the wacky cheese factor really thick, starting with that awful voiceover. Ugh. Try not to let that discourage you from watching the movie. View the trailer here, and see photos from the movie here.

For those of you in New York, Ping Pong Playa will screen as the Closing Night presentation this weekend at the Asian American International Film Festival. I saw the movie earlier this year at SFIAAFF and enjoyed it a lot. For the rest of you, the movie will be released theatrically this fall from IFC Films, starting on September 5 in New York and Los Angeles (and presumably more cities after that).
