Shirley Li The Atlantic Instead, it fearlessly—and wackily—reckons with how confounding people can be in their bid for one another’s approval: at work, at home, at their new friend’s house while dressed in their finest Ocean View Dining clothing. May 28, 2025 Full Review Kat Sachs Chicago Reader While there are definitely a few smart laughs, the film felt like a hastily thrown-together product. May 27, 2025 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai CTV's Your Morning A clever movie for people who are comfortable seeing the most uncomfortable version of themselves in these characters and laughing at our own most embarrassing behaviour. May 25, 2025 Full Review Kent Garrison Mad About Movies Podcast Tim Robinson can say any four words with a certain inflection and get a laugh out of me. Rated: A Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Paul Marchbanks Christianity Today Like the comedies Superstar and Napoleon Dynamite, which lay pariahs’ amusing problems at their own feet, Friendship implies that those without the right personality type will forever be stuck at a primitive stage of development. Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation Rudd’s presence vibes so well with Robinson, and this script allows the right risks to be taken. It is easily the funniest movie of 2025. Rated: 8.5/10 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Curtis G Let me preface this by saying I am a big fan of I Think You Should Leave and other cringe 'comedy' like Nathan Fielder, etc. What you are getting here seems to be an extended ITYSL-style sketch, but not a series of sketches. Some of the humor from the show comes in the fast-paced delivery of the insanity. At this pace it's much easier to find yourself contemplating the darker underlying themes to these 'goofball' characters, who are really only goofy because they have major issues. Two films came to mind after watching this. First, Cable Guy, which is clearly an ancestor to this film but its outrageous tenor kept it firmly on the side of dark comedy. Second, One Hour Photo, a psychological thriller starring a great comedian but is just about dark obsession. While a lot of what happens is funny, in retrospect, it's not the laugh riot fans of Tim Robinson might expect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Michael S Loved it. Crazy and funny!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Robert T There were a few funny parts. The rest of the time I was thinking WTF. The acting was good, but it just wasnt a good story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review michael c Was in amazement that the movie kept my attention because of how insanely silly it was Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review John Very fun. If you like "I think you should leave" you will enjoy this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review LHernandez The acting was great! There were moments that cracked me up and the cinematography storytelling was great! However, it’s not a movie I’d want to watch again or encourage a friend to watch.
