Friendship

Fans of Tim Robinson’s sketch show, I Think You Should Leave, will know what they’re getting themselves into with Friendship, his first leading movie role.

However, if you’re not familiar with his work, it may take a minute to get on his wavelength and embrace his style of cringe comedy.

In Friendship, Robinson plays a marketing executive named Craig, who has no friends and spends his evenings in front of the TV.

When his new neighbour, Austin (Paul Rudd), invites him over to hang out, Craig becomes obsessed with the charismatic weatherman and basically falls in platonic love with him.

They hang out together constantly for a brief spell before Austin ends the friendship after Craig does something too weird. Craig cannot accept this, and his life begins to unravel.

How you respond to Friendship will really depend on your sensibilities and sense of humour. Its style is specific and won’t work...
