As massive fans of all things Tim Robinson, long-time supporters of Paul Rudd’s contributions to pop culture, and the best A24 movies, we made sure we saw "Friendship" as soon as humanly possible. We had a feeling that this would either be the funniest comedy on the 2025 movie schedule or the most uncomfortable experience of the year. Little did we know both would be true, and this movie would bring on an existential crisis that I’ve still not quite escaped.
We loved "Friendship," but at the same time, we don’t like the way it made us feel – in the theater, on the drive home that night, or pretty much every day since then. Few movies have this effect, and even fewer get our stamp of approval despite making us feel so down, so confused, and so on edge. Yeah, we've got to talk about it…
