We got an early look this week at Ben Stiller’s new pickleball comedy “The Dink” featuring Jake Johnson as a washed-up former tennis star who starts playing pickleball as he recovers from an injury.
“The Dink” features several big-name stars, including Johnson, Stiller, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, Chloe Fineman, Aaron Chen, Patton Oswalt, Chris Parnell and Christine Taylor.

“Excited to partner with @appletv on this one,” Johnson said in an Instagram post. “I love the movie. It’s a ton of fun. So many funny performances.”
The film was directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Sean Clements. It will begin streaming July 24.
