3/4
A friend outgrowing you can be tough to witness and even harder to accept. Guillén plays those emotions beautifully, which gives unexpected heart to a comedy built on a silly, drug-fueled premise. Go to Full Review Rebecca Johnson Nerdspin Jun 16
C+
With strong performances, a stunning summer location and plenty of hijinks, That Friend may not provide a barrel of laugh-out-loud chuckles but entertains nonetheless. Go to Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff Jun 15
B-
Has enough energy, warmth, and performer chemistry to get by on charm, even when the script is doing that familiar indie-comedy thing where chaos arrives wearing a big grin and begging to be loved. Go to Full Review Matt Hudson What I Watched Tonight Jun 14
4/5
Despite it being a comedy at heart, That Friend possesses a large dose of heart that propels it along, even in times when the humour stumbles. Go to Full Review Josh Bate Screen Rant Jun 13
4/10
Despite such strong efforts to invoke a chuckle from the audience, That Friend ultimately features few, if any, humorous moments. Go to Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Jun 11
3/5
