The Dink hits Apple TV this Friday, here’s what reviews say
Ben Stiller’s 2004 film Dodgeball took an underdog sport and turned it into a beloved comedy. Now, Stiller is behind a new Apple film that aspires to do the same for pickleball.
The Dink premieres this Friday, July 24 on Apple TV. You can add it to your Watchlist here.

San Francisco Chronicle: “pays homage to the ‘00s sub-subgenre that included the gems Dodgeball and Talladega Nights”
A.V. Club: “Johnson…finally gets the perfect starring role for his raspy-voiced charms and overworked confidence.”
