“The Dink,” a new sports comedy directed by Josh Greenbaum, centers around the rising sport of pickleball. The film explores the idea that success in pickleball doesn't necessarily require powerful shots – a concept mirrored in its own gentle comedic approach.
The movie follows a conceited former tennis player whose journey is at the heart of the story. According to Variety’s review, “You don’t have to hit hard to win pickleball — that’s the chief lesson to be taken from ‘The Dink,’…and it’s one that Josh Greenbaum’s film takes to heart with its own softball comic style.”
The title of the film refers to 'the dink,' a delicate signature shot in pickleball. The review suggests the movie adopts this same subtle approach to comedy, opting for a lighter touch rather than aggressive humor. While details about the plot and characters are limited in the provided source, the core theme appears to be an underdog story within the context of the rapidly growing sport.
