The film stars Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, Patton Oswalt, Chloe Fineman, and more. It’s a strong cast of comedic players.

Ben Stiller even has a small role as Johnson’s doctor. But he also produced The Dink, and the trailer highlights the connection as being “From Dodgeball producer Ben Stiller.”

Today Apple released the trailer, which very much looks in line with classic sports comedies in the Dodgeball vein.

Here’s the plot summary, followed by the new trailer:
