Friendship X Reviews: Tim Robinson's Cringe Comedy Strikes A Gold With Paul Rudd
Last Updated:
Since Friendship was released online, viewers are saying that the movie has a lot of funny scenes, but it's also tough to watch because of some real moments.
Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd share a friendship in the new comedy film Friendship. The story is about Robinson's character trying to make friends with his neighbour, played by Rudd. While Robinson wants the friendship to succeed, Rudd's character isn't interested and this difference causes problems for both of them. Since the movie was released online, viewers have been praising it on X (formerly Twitter). While the movie has a lot of funny scenes, at the same time, it's tough to watch because of how awkward and real some moments feel.
Other than Robinson and Rudd, the movie, directed by Andrew DeYoung, also stars Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rick Worthy, Josh Segarra, Billy Bryk and Whitmer Thomas.
#Friendship is a comedic triumph. It's the cringe comedy Tim Robinson is notorious for, but in service of a larger narrative that is actually an interesting exercise in male friendship/ Rudd's turn as Austin is his best role since Brian Fantana

'Friendship was so good. It's been more than a decade since I've been in a theatre where people were crying and laughing," a comment read.
An individual stated, 'My favourite performance of the year so far. Tim Robinson is a one-of-a-kind actor."

Another mentioned, 'Friendship is easily one of the most demented and unsettling films I've seen this year. A film that made me constantly recoil and wince. But it's also easily one of my favourite movies this year and has two scenes that made me laugh so hard I thought I was gonna puke. Recommended."
FRIENDSHIP is easily one of the most demented and unsettling films I've seen this year. A film that made me constantly recoil and wince. But it's also easily one of my favorite movies this year and has two scenes that made me laugh so hard I thought I was gonna puke. Recommended! — Reyna Cervantes (@Jfcdoomblade) July 7, 2025
One more added, 'One thing I really love about Friendship (2025) is that from the trailers you think it's gonna be like The Banshees of Inisherin, but there's a very clear reason and build up to Austin's friendship dumping Craig, which simultaneously makes it funnier and sadder somehow."

After its official release on May 23, Friendship became available to buy on demand starting June 17. Fans who missed it in cinemas can now watch it from home.
