Overview
Desperate to save a struggling country club and earn his father's respect, a washed-up tennis pro is compelled to break a sacred vow and do the unthinkable: play pickleball.
This movie achieves the rare feat of the chemistry between the two leads as being enough to carry an underwhelming story. I could watch Jake Johnson and Marty Steenburgen interact all day long. The film does an excellent job at demonstrating the power of friendship, and sometimes that is enough.
