Suburban dad Craig falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, but Craig’s attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives.
Evoking darkly funny bromances like The Cable Guy and the absurdist, anything-goes 2000s comedies of David Wain, Andrew DeYoung’s feature debut is a gut-bustingly funny, absurdist portrait of male bonding, starring the gifted comedians Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd at their very best. Suburban dad Craig (Robinson) is bumbling through his corporate marketing job and domestic bliss with his wife (Kate Mara) until he meets his neighbor Austin (Rudd), a local TV weatherman whose all-around ease through life is everything he wants. But when a faux pas ruptures their budding friendship, Craig will do anything it takes to win him back. With a refreshingly anarchic, increasingly discomfiting spin on man-child hijinks, Friendship is among the funniest American comedies in recent years.
The Los Angeles Festival of Movies (presented by MUBI and Mezzanine) is a curated annual film festival in Los Angeles, presenting new independent and restoration premieres to a local audience. Now in its second year, the festival, an event put on by the film non-profit Mezzanine, redefines Los Angeles as a destination for independent film. Running April 3-6, 2025, LAFM has curated a selection of high profile narrative and documentary film premieres; talks with local artists, luminaries, and thought leaders; and parties each night at three exciting new east side LA venues. The festival is the new nexus for the city’s burgeoning indie film community to gather, discuss and celebrate independent cinema.
