In 'Friendship,' Tim Robinson stars as Craig Waterman, a corporate worker who finds an unusual friendship with his charming neighbor Austin Carmichael, played by Paul Rudd. Craig, usually awkward and isolated, feels a sense of belonging in Austin's enlightened circle of friends. However, comedic turmoil ensues when a misunderstanding leads Austin to end their friendship abruptly, leaving Craig spiraling into a series of bizarre freakouts. The film captures the surreal humor characteristic of Robinson's previous work, while exploring themes of loneliness and social connection.
Robinson has made his hay by imbuing awkward social encounters with randomly erupting intensity, his visage veering from Soupy-Salesian rubbery mugging to Sam-Kinisonian bulge-eyed rage in a heartbeat.
Craig seems to have no real friends outside work, so heâs especially thrilled to be invited into Austin's circle of bros, who embody an comically enlightened brand of masculinity.
