Mr. Go

Mr. Go (2013) is a Korean-Chinese sports comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kim Yong-hwa. After her grandfather dies, fifteen-year-old Wei-wei is left in charge of a struggling circus with one remaining performer: Ling-ling, a gorilla the old man spent years teaching to hit a baseball. A Seoul talent scout spots the animal by accident, and suddenly Ling-ling is suiting up for a professional team while Wei-wei becomes his only interpreter.

The gorilla's home runs leave coaches baffled. Underneath the spectacle is a quieter story — a girl trying to hold onto the one creature she has left. Xu Jiao brings real feeling to Wei-wei, and Song Dong-il plays the scout as a man who can't quite trust his own luck. Stream Mr. Go online on iFILM.
