The Dink: A Pickleball Comedy
In The Dink, Jake Johnson plays Dusty "the Hammer" Boyd, a former tennis prodigy now coaching kids at his father's country club. Ed Harris shines as his dismissive dad, who despises pickleball as "the coronavirus of sport." When Dusty meets Candace (Mary Steenburgen), his priorities shift. This film is a hilarious take on second chances.
Wicked Little Letters: Olivia Colman at Her Best
Wicked Little Letters stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley in a 1920s-set comedy about anonymous poison pen letters. Colman's swearing is inherently funny, and the film balances scandal with a cautionary tale about bullying. It airs Saturday at 9pm on Channel 4.
