The Dink: A Pickleball Comedy

In The Dink, Jake Johnson plays Dusty "the Hammer" Boyd, a former tennis prodigy now coaching kids at his father's country club. Ed Harris shines as his dismissive dad, who despises pickleball as "the coronavirus of sport." When Dusty meets Candace (Mary Steenburgen), his priorities shift. This film is a hilarious take on second chances.
