Tim Robinson expands his exquisitely painful cringe comedy style to feature length with seamless results in Friendship, a toxic bromance that'll make audiences laugh and wince in equal measure.

Audience Says

A laugh-out-loud bromance for the ages, Friendship is a cringe man hug from Tim Robinson that feels uncomfortably right.

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.

While there are definitely a few smart laughs, the film felt like a hastily thrown-together product.

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.

Bowling Green Daily News

This comedy from writer/director Andrew DeYoung takes the audience to some dark and disturbing place, delivering a twisted take on the bromance genre with a talented cast that is 100% committed to the bit.

Rated: B+

The Reader (Omaha, NE)

Friendship feels like a genuine cult comedy, the kind that can’t be ginned up – in the same way you can’t truly intend to make a great B-movie. Everyone who likes it will have a different favorite line or cringy comic beat.

Rated: A-

Seven Days (VT)

We may wonder whether Craig could ever attain the self-awareness needed to laugh with us, yet it's impossible to look away, perhaps because Robinson manages to embody every ounce of cringe that we resolutely repress in ourselves.

Rated: 4/5

Honestly this movie is horrible. The acting is bad and nothing about this movie is "friendship".

if you love Craig Robinson, this is for you. the guy is just a misfit for everyone in the movie (except for his job sometimes). things turnaround for just a sliver but just wrecks it again all for that guy. you know the guy. also huge undertones of Craig's show. you know the title.

Increasingly strange behavior of an unhinged man makes for awkward, uncomfortable, absurdist hilarity. Tim Robinson fans will be satisfied.

A zany dark comedy about adult male bonding / friendship gone very very wrong, and is also very very funny! Adults, (male or female), may see themselves being subject to the crazy turn of events in this film. Not often will you find a film that deals with adult 'issues' in a such a witty way-- go and see it!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

What a weird quirky movie. Not completely sure of the message, but I still can't stop laughing over the Subway scene. Funniest scene I've seen in years.
