Details About the Film

Suburban dad Craig (Tim Robinson) is fairly antisocial until he meets his new neighbor, Austin (Paul Rudd), a charming weatherman who hand-rolls cigarettes and plays in a makeshift punk band. Suddenly brought into Austin’s cool and exciting world, Craig’s intense desire to be his best bro threatens to upend both of their lives. The feature directorial debut of Emmy Award nominee Andrew DeYoung, Friendship is a surreal comedy about the joy and pain of genuine interpersonal connections.

Film Reviews

"Friendship asks the question: what if you took the 2009 studio comedy I Love You, Man but turned it into an absolute nightmare?"

–Esther Zuckerman, GQ

"Friendship reminds you how out there comedy can be and why that works. DeYoung’s use of zooming in, weird circle framing, and music cue makes this truly one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while."

–Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue

"Rarely has a film had me so rapidly alternating between squirming in my seat and laughing so hard that I have to wipe the tears from my face. Friendship is high on the list of best comedies of the year, do not miss this when it hits theaters."

–J Hurtado, ScreenAnarchy
