“Tami” (Kate Mara) is recovering from cancer, needs a bigger van for her flourishing florist business, kisses her teenage son on the lips, and is married to advertising executive “Craig” (Tim Robinson). He is a fastidious gent, usually clad in beige, who keeps himself to himself and is largely derided by his workmates as being a bit of a drip. They are looking to move house when they get a parcel for an address nearby. “Craig” is an helpful sort of fella and so takes it round to “Austin” (Paul Rudd). He is a local television weatherman who invites his new neighbour for a drink that evening. The two hit it off fairly swiftly, and next thing they are crawling around the sewers under City Hall having an adventure! For a few days they are as thick as thieves, then one evening doesn’t go so well for “Craig” when “Austin” has friends over and next thing that burgeonin…

Funny and hard to watch at times, due to how many horrible decisions Tim Robinson's character makes, but it was really quite good. Like a long "I Think You Should Leave" skit. Make friends with this ham while it is on your face!

This is good. It was over-hyped to me. Way over-hyped. It's good to have friends. It's fun. Drags in the middle. Fun again.

I truly admire the offbeat and outrageous when it comes to movie comedies. At the same time, though, I’m also the first one to take pictures to task that allegedly aspire to these qualities and utterly fail horrendously. Such is the case with this debut feature from writer-director Andrew DeYoung, a supposedly subversive, allegedly hilarious look at the subject of male bonding that falls positively flat at every juncture. “Friendship” follows the ridiculously implausible adventures of neighbors Austin (Paul Rudd) and Craig (Tim Robinson), whose juvenile, irresponsible antics are so completely unfathomable that any viewer with even the smallest modicum of intelligence can’t possibly begin to take any of this nonsense seriously. Their episodic story plays like a live action version of Family Guy or Beavis and Butthead, vehicles that may be fine for animation but that can’t cut it…
