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.

Read Critics Reviews

G. Allen Johnson

San Francisco Chronicle

Rudd’s Austin is sometimes a completely different person from scene to scene, as if writer-director Andrew DeYoung were trying to fit the characters to the plot requirements instead of vice versa.

Rated: 2/4

Adam Graham

Detroit News

Robinson is a hilarious time bomb of discomfort, and it's a credit to writer-director Andrew DeYoung that he applies the brakes and doesn't let the movie go pitch black in tone.

Rated: B

Ann Hornaday

Washington Post

"Friendship" is primarily a movie for Robinson's hardcore fans, but, for the Tim-curious, it serves as an amusing — if haphazard and uneven — introduction to his distinctive sensibility.

Rated: 2.5/4

“Friendship is an intense take on the loneliness epidemic that feels a bit scattershot in its execution but has enough heart to cut through the hysterics.

Washington City Paper

Although DeYoung has an impressive grasp of tone, sometimes the shifts between drama and comedy don’t land as intended.

Neil's Entertainment Picks

Caustic buddy-buddy cocktail truly swings in the awkward yin-yang between Thompson and Rudd, who demonstrate how riotously askew a male friendship can go.

This movie gave me bouts of anxiety and intense laughter which ping ponged back and fourth for the duration of the film. It felt like a thematic sketch montage woven together into a silly and enjoyable story. I know I’ll be seeing it again soon, because I find Tim’s content easier to laugh at the second time through when I’m not cringing so hard.

Parts of this movie feel like an extended ITYSL sketch, and I mean that in the best way possible.

I thought this movie would be hilarious, but its justrandom! Thats the word that best describes it. The movie starts off slow and builds in random ways with too few giggles. It could have been so much funnier. It fell very short.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
