Funny Trailer for Apple TV+ Ensemble Pickleball Comedy Film THE DINK
Apple TV+ has released a funny first trailer for their pickleball comedy feature The Dink, which features an incredible ensemble cast that includes Jake Johnson, Ben Stiller, Chloe Fineman, Christine Taylor, Patton Oswalt, Martin Kove, Mary Steenburgen, Chris Parnell, Aaron Chen, and Ed Harris as well as former tennis players Andy Roddick and John McEnroe.
The film is directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, Will & Harper, New Girl) from a screenplay written by Sean Clements.
The synopsis reads: “Washed up former tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Jake Johnson) has been reduced to coaching unruly kids at his father Chuck’s (Ed Harris) suburban country club. Desperate for his father’s approval, Dusty blindly supports Chuck's vendetta against the new craze taking over the tennis club: pickleball.
“But when Dusty reaggravates an old injury, taking away his ability to play tennis, he resorts to the unthinkable in the name of rehab. He not only tries pickleball, but, thanks in part to his enchanting new partner, Candace (Mary Steenburgen), he finds himself actually enjoying it.
“Torn between two worlds, Dusty is forced to finally face the ghosts of his past athletic failures, including his childhood nemesis, Andy Roddick (Andy Roddick). Ultimately, Dusty is drawn into a desperate battle for the future of the club, his father's affection and his very identity.”
This looks like a ton of fun. Check out the trailer below, and watch The Dink when it hits Apple TV+ on July 24th.
