"Mr. Go" is a 2013 South Korean-Chinese sports comedy-drama film directed by Kim Yong-hwa. It is based on the 1984 novel "The 7th Baseball Club" by Huh Young-man. The film is notable for its combination of live-action and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring a gorilla character to life.
The story follows Wei-wei, a 15-year-old Chinese girl, who inherits her deceased grandfather's circus-trained gorilla, Ling Ling. Discovering that Ling Ling has a talent for baseball, they join a struggling professional baseball team in South Korea. The gorilla, now nicknamed Mr. Go, becomes a baseball sensation and helps turn the team's fortunes around.
"Mr. Go" received mixed reviews, with praise for its innovative use of CGI to create a realistic gorilla character and criticism for its melodramatic elements. The film's unique premise and visual effects drew attention, making it an interesting entry in the sports comedy genre.
