The Dink is a light, small-stakes sports comedy starring Jake Johnson as a washed-up tennis prodigy who regains his swagger by learning to relax and dink his way to a win at a country-club pickleball tournament, anchored by Johnson's and Mary Steenburgen's warm chemistry; directed by Josh Greenbaum with a July 24, 2026 Apple TV release, the film favors breezy humor over big set pieces, though the review notes some flat staging; the piece also surveys Rosebush Pruning, Motor City, and Heartstopper Forever, offering mixed verdicts on tone and ambition across the rest of the page.
