58 - Friendship - We Had A Couple Of Really Nice Hangs

Men shouldn’t have friends. So says the tagline of Friendship, the A24 2025 Feature Length Directorial and Screenwriting Debut of Andrew DeYoung, starring Tim Robinson as Craig Waterman (basically a connection-starved I Think You Should Leave character dropped into the real world, possessing no sense of social norms, occasionally breaking the law in the name of friendship, and just generally failing at life), Kate Mara as Tami Waterman (Craig’s way out of his league wife who is simultaneously recovering from cancer, struggling to run a floral shop out of their home, possibly having an affair with her hot firefighter ex-boyfriend, and somehow not running for the hills with every interaction with Craig) and Paul Rudd as Austin Carmichael (Craig’s impossibly hip and friendly neighbor, a night weatherman to whom Craig becomes hopelessly and dangerously Platonically infatuated). Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it too uncomfortable for it’s own good? Is it actually good? Join your bestest friends, The Rabbit Fighters and find out, won’t you?
