Apple TV just dropped the trailer for the upcoming original movie The Dink, starring Jake Johnson as a washed-up tennis pro who must play pickleball.
Former tennis star Andy Roddick stars as himself in the film, which will be released on the streaming service on July 24. Check out the full synopsis below!
Washed up former tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Johnson) has been reduced to coaching unruly children 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 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. Ultimately, Dusty is drawn into a desperate battle for the future of the club, his father’s affection and his very identity.
The all-star cast includes Patton Oswalt, Chloe Fineman, Chris Parnell, Aaron Chen, and Ben Stiller.

The movie is directed by Josh Greenbaum, who also directed the beloved comedy movie Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. In addition to having a role in the film, Ben Stiller is also a producer on the project.
