With a refreshingly anarchic, increasingly discomfiting spin on man-child hijinks, Friendship is among the funniest American comedies in recent years.
Evoking darkly funny bromances like The Cable Guy and the absurdist, anything-goes 2000s comedies of David Wain, Andrew DeYoung’s feature debut is a gut-bustingly funny, absurdist portrait of male bonding, starring the gifted comedians Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd at their very best.
Suburban dad Craig (Robinson) is bumbling through his corporate marketing job and domestic bliss with his wife (Kate Mara) until he meets his neighbour Austin (Rudd), a local TV weatherman whose all-round ease through life is everything he wants. But when a faux pas ruptures their budding friendship, Craig will do anything it takes to win him back.
