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.

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.

Cinapse

Friendship elicited the kind of screams brought out by horror films as much as crowd-pleasing comedies...thanks to the uncomfortable amount of commitment by DeYoung’s creatives both behind and in front of the camera.

FILMINK (Australia)

... if you like your comedies a little on the quirkier, spicier side & can handle the cinematic equivalent of Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake for 100 mins, then this is an engaging, occasionally hilarious, frequently horrifyingly awkward black comedy ...

Rated: 15/20

One of the funniest - and saddest - movies I’ve ever seen. Cleverly written and perfectly acted.

As a longtime fan of Tim Robinson, this was a hard watch. The film shows that his style of absurdist, adults-behaving-with-wildly-underdeveloped-social-cues humor does not extend to a feature length film. Well, maybe it can, but not this one. The whole thing felt like one, never-ending SNL sketch that does not meaningfully evolve. Rudd basically just performs a less absurd, but otherwise 1-1 Ron Burgundy emulation. Much of the writing was lazy, disappointing (Subway drug trip).

Was expecting more from Paul, not even a chuckle. It was a mess of a movie - just dumb. The story was not wrapped up. Wondered around. Save $ and time.
