wow.  i'm glad some friends talked me into going to see ping pong playa.  it's a real fun movie.  so fun in fact i didn't mind driving out to glendale to see it even though it's playing just down the street from me in alhambra. 

i'm always afraid to see stuff featuring asian americans and analyzing asian american stereotypes.  either they're disconnected to their audience by just not being realistic, having nothing in common with them, or there's too much asian references for a regular person to get. well, there's a lot of chinese references in this movie, there's a lot of chinese language and chinglish spoken in the movie, but honestly, almost anyone watching this movie can understand it... at least the universal ideas of being there for your family, a family overachiever, and  a family imbicile with something to live up to....

if you haven't seen it yet, find time.  i think it was well worth my $11


oh, and it features music by far east movement.  that rocked  :)
