Scott S @RT11245942 2d This movie was horrible. Want to watch this movie? How about you grab a pickleball and then go watch any Adam Sandler or Chris Farley movie from the 90s (preferably Happy Gilmore as it matches pretty well). Then every time that they are engaged in a game of golf in Happy Gilmore, just hold the pickleball up in front of the screen. That's pretty much what you get out of this movie. However, these God-awful writers DID manage to inject some really cringy, awkward lines and unneeded dialogue. The play by play announcer’s crush on the villain played by Major Dodge (who is himself a really terrible actor) is GRAVELY overplayed/overused. Kevin Farley should have let his acting career die with his brother's (RIP Chris Farley - you are badly missed). Don't watch this movie. Go volunteer at the police academy as a bad guy for their canine training without wearing one of those fancy, protective bite-proof suits. It will hurt less than this movie did.

And i mean even clawed and eaten alive by a cheetah or bleached by the Godzilla El Niño would still be an upgrade and an instant "YES PLEASE!" See more Travis C @RT80299744 5d Just watched Pickleball and absolutely loved it! Great mix of comedy, heart, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Whether you’re a pickleball fanatic or have never picked up a paddle, it’s a fun, feel-good movie that’s entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommend checking it out! See more Randy F. @rfox4077 6d A steaming pile of crap. See more Christopher C @RT25908071 6d Pickleball is a sports comedy with lots of laughs and heart . I enjoyed the brother’s dynamic and that it had a purpose to it . The story flowed well with the characters See more Justin C @RT35524066 Jun 18 Excellent acting. Loved the dynamic between the brothers Miles and Earl. Father Joseph and Barry were great as well and Bradley and Daisy! The movie had a good blend of comedy and heart and is so much fun. Awesome directing too. Well done to the whole filmmaking team cast and crew. See more Read all reviews
