My Rating: 👍👍👍
My Review: My first movie for 2026 wasn't really my first pick but, it was senior discount Tuesday at the local theater, so what the heck? The movie is about a young man, Marty Mauser, who loves playing ping-pong and becomes obsessed with becoming the world's best ping-pong player. His obsession takes him on a pretty wild ride that eventually ends up in a staged ping-pong competion with the world's best ping-pong player where, SPOILER ALERT, after purposley loosing the staged competition, he reveals that it was staged and challenges his opponent to a real match and wins. The character is a fictionalized version of the real person, Marty Reisman who was the 1958 and 1960 U.S. Men's singles champion and the 1997 U.S. hardbat champion. I felt the movie was a bit choppy and sometimes hard to follow. I also had a hard time understanding the dialog but that may be my old age showing. Overall, I enjoyed Marty Supreme and give it a 3 out of 5 thumbs-up.
