Marty Supreme - thatguy - 05-03-2026
Marty is a pushy, annoying hustler who happens to be good at ping pong.
It's an OK story, but Marty is an unlikable character and you just want to see him get smacked down so maybe he'll stop being such and asshole.
The title credit sequence is perplexing (until later in the film).
Also perplexing: the film is set in the mid-fifties, but the soundtrack is heavy with 1980's synth pop, eg: Peter Gabriel's "I have the touch". It doesn't fit at all.
Not terrible...not great. I thought Fran Drescher was good as his mom, and I don't usually like her.
