Friendship is a 2025 American comedy that brings together the unique comedic with Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, and Kate Mara in a quirky, heartfelt exploration of adult male bonding and personal reinvention. Directed and written by Andrew DeYoung in his feature debut, the film has quickly become a standout in A24’s 2025 lineup, praised for its offbeat humor and strong performances.
Tracklist
Set in the small town of Clovis, Colorado, the story follows Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson), a socially awkward marketing executive whose life is unraveling. As Craig and his wife Tami (Kate Mara) prepare to sell their family home, Tami’s recovery from cancer leads her to reconnect with an ex-boyfriend, leaving Craig feeling isolated. Everything changes when Craig accidentally meets his neighbor, Austin Carmichael (Paul Rudd), a charismatic local meteorologist.
Their unlikely friendship blossoms over shared frustrations and secret adventures-like exploring hidden tunnels beneath city hall and spontaneous mushroom hunting trips. Craig, inspired by Austin’s free spirit, tries to become a better husband and father, but his growing obsession with the friendship leads to a series of comedic and cringeworthy missteps. The film deftly balances laugh-out-loud awkwardness with genuine emotional stakes, as Craig’s attempts to fit in spiral out of control, threatening his marriage, career, and the very friendship he cherishes
