Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd co-star in Friendship.
When was the last time you truly laughed throughout an entire comedy? Not just a few chuckles, but tears streaming down your face, side hurting, just absolutely losing your shit? As part of this year’s Midnight Madness program at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, one such movie had its debut, one of the most hilarious comedies to come out in quite some time: writer-director Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship.
Brian is a local weatherman with a mustache, plays in a punk band, and explores the town’s sewers for fun. To Craig, Brian is just about the coolest guy he’s ever met. But Craig’s attempts to impress his new friend and be as cool as him could not only be a problem with his buddy, but could have repercussions in the rest of his life as well.
Tim Robinson Is Ready to Become a Comedy Movie Star Friendship manages to capture the same weird specific vibe that I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson has, but also without feeling like a bunch of sketches tied together. Even frequent ITYSL guests Conner O’Malley and Whitmer Thomas each get some great moments. DeYoung centers all of these great jokes and ideas around this slow degradation of Craig’s life, as he attempts to fit in, be cool, or try to impress someone.
Equally impressive is the rest of the cast, who are mostly playing these situations straight, yet manage to find their own laughs within the moment. Rudd is particularly great as the ideal friend to Robinson’s Craig, yet maybe isn’t really as cool as Craig might think. Rudd plays Brian almost as if he’s trying to be the guy everyone would want to hang out with, and his frustration with Craig later in the film makes for a great dynamic between these two.
