Friendship

Dir. Andrew DeYoung USA 101 min R

2024 A24

A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met. In his first feature, director Andrew DeYoung dives into one of this world's most frequent yet least documented phenomena: the breakup of middle-aged male friends. The hook of DeYoung’s set-up is the pairing of two complimentary comic icons, both of whom lean into their respective screen persona; the casting leverages Tim Robinson’s (I Think You Should Leave) exposed-nerve nerdiness against Rudd’s (Clueless, Anchorman) unblemished charisma.

Suburban dad Craig (Robinson) falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor (Rudd), but Craig’s attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives

Reviews
"Where a lot of films would have been content to set up promising situations and then watched the characters crack into each other like billiard balls, “Friendship” is a visually, sonically, and musically immersive work, far more than a sitcom in feature form." –Roger Ebert
