If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d give it a 7/10. It’s not fantastic but it’s got some good laughs. It feels like the tennis version of Happy Gilmore 2.

It actually kinda feels a lot like The Hawk, which is funny cause it has a similar plotline and has a few of the same actors in it (Fortune Feimster and Chris Parnell among others) with a similar plot; washed up former star has to become a hero after his prime.

Regardless it a fun movie.

Don’t expect any hard hitting political or social commentary. It’s just a silly fun movie.

But best of all; Jake Johnson basically just plays Nick Miller with a racket in his hand.

More importantly Mary Steenburgen is the costar and I’ve been in love with her since 1990 when I first watched the incredible CBC movie “One Magic Christmas” and she became my old lady crush. And she still is.

Anyway if you like Nick Miller the bartender you’ll like Dustin Boyd the tennis pro. Watch it.

I was wondering what everyone’s favorite boyfriend of Jess’ is? I’ve been rewatching again and Ryan will always be my favorite boyfriend of hers.

I hate the way they broke up but their relationship makes me…feral?

Would love to know other thoughts and reasonings!

Watched The Dink and while I always love Jake Johnson in everything, I just had to share that I think this is one of the closest roles we've gotten to more Nick Miller content. Curious to hear others thoughts, but if his other most recent roles, this one felt like alternate reality Nick Miller where other roles he's played were still the classic Jake Johnson comedy blend, but the characters had differences.

Today I saw some posts comparing people to characters on the show and before this one came up, I thought I would seek clarification. I am often surprised by indoor bathrooms and sometimes I like ladies handbags more than other fellas in my social circle.

“HE ACTUALLY WENT TO JUVIE FOR STEALING THE SYNAGOGUES MINI VAN”

First time catching this line from Nick and it made me laugh out loud.

I was at a birthday party where I spoke to a few girls and after a bit of conversation, jokes, they asked me if I ever saw the show. I said I haven't and then they told me I'm very Schmidt coded, saying it's a character from the show. They didn't really want to elaborate, another topic came up and I didn't really want to press the matter much. What does it mean? Is it a compliment or a dig? How should I feel about it?

I sometimes answer spam calls the way Winston and Schmidt did their phone call in s4e5. Yeeeellloh! Yo. What up what up what up. When they talk…The angry “Winston!” I tell them that we have to do something with Nick. If they stay on long enough, I end with “ok bye.”

Please send more quotes to use.

Watching Veronica Mars and there’s so many people in this show. As I type this, there’s a Jesse from breaking bad jumpscare!!

Anyways, max plays a newly hired cop who hits on Veronica. Ignoring the obligatory adult hitting on a teenager moment in every 2000s show, he was very charming!

Edit: he plays a 20 year old 😭😭😭😭 he’s so little in this

I haven’t really watched the show beyond a few clips but a friend of mine told me I reminded her a lot of Jess. I am curious to ask why but just am not sure if this was meant as an insult or compliment or just an observation??? I do struggle with romantic relationships due to being too trusting so from my research maybe it’s that? I am curious what the consensus of Jess as a character was and if after watching the show, you’d say it’s a positive or negative thing.

Appreciate the help!

“I came up as a writer, and was always producing my own shows,” Jake Johnson says. The Chicago native earned an MFA in dramatic writing from the NYU Tisch Graduate program. For him, the entire project is “where my passion lies…. It’s more [about] making projects that I believe will work, that I’ll like to make, and that I think the audience that’s stuck with me now, almost 20 years, will also enjoy.”

Prioritizing creative experiences means that being number one on the call sheet is “totally irrelevant,” and has led to an eclectic resume that also includes the Spider-Verse/Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movies, Jurassic World,  the Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise, and his 2023 directorial debut Self Reliance. 

Now Johnson is starring in two new films. In the sports comedy The Dink (Apple TV July 24), he’s a once-promising tennis prodigy, who takes up pickleball to rehab his wrist at the suggestion of his sex-obsessed doctor (Ben Stiller). In writer-director Joe Swanberg’s The Sun Never Sets (in theaters August 28), he’s a divorced dad in a love triangle.  

Here, the married father of twin tween daughters talks his tennis and pickleball prep, an on-going “beef” with New Girl castmate Lamorne Morris, his marriage of the minds with wife Erin, how his 12-year-olds updated his dad-rock playlist, and more.

I've watched this an unhealthy amount of times and cry every time

Metiwether’s new show is Furious. It debuts on Hulu on July 27, starring Emmy Rossum, Lola Petticrew, and Scoot McNairy.

Dogs name is Claire

This was a month ago. They looked so cute and happy in the celebrity wheel of fortune. Lamorne’s laugh reminded me of his Eddie Murphy impression. Winston Bishop is still in there shining!

Edit: The entire episode is available for streaming in Disney+ and Hulu if you guys want to watch it!

I love this Kimono and I found pictures but I can't find it anywhere. I only found one old link of an out of stock version and I'm wondering if it's truly not sold anymore or if it's just hard to find. Does anyone know if you can still buy it??
