The film follows a washed-up tennis pro (Johnson) as he tries to save a club by reluctantly playing pickleball to earn his father's (Harris) respect. It's rated PG-13.

Tennis stars Andy Roddick and John McEnroe both reportedly make appearances as well.

We've yet to see a trailer for the movie. But one thing this update does provide is a glimpse at some of the paddles the stars will be swinging – a previous promo image showed Steenburgen holding a Selkirk Luxx; this latest photo reveals Johnson holding what is clearly a JOOLA MOD TA-15, the paddle long-since sunset from competitive play.
