Critics Consensus

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.

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.

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.

Tim Robinson can say any four words with a certain inflection and get a laugh out of me.

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.

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

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.

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.
