‘Friendship’ Review: Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd Are a Riot in the Year’s Best Comedy

Tim Robinson is a comedic wrecking ball. A uniquely expressive, endlessly chaotic and wholly unpredictable performer, there is truly no one like him. Set him loose in even the most familiar of scenarios and he’ll blow it all up in hilarious fashion. None of this will be news to those who’ve seen his uproarious series “I Think You Should Leave,” an absurd gem because of how he decisively turns otherwise ordinary social situations inside out. Still, even existing fans of Robinson’s work aren’t prepared for what he’s done with the showstopper of a film, “Friendship.”
Written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, who aligns perfectly with Robinson’s sensibilities, it’s a comedy about a guy who just wants his neighbor to be his friend. The man is Craig Waterman (Robinson) and he initially makes a connection with weatherman Austin Carmichael (Paul Rudd) after a package delivery mix-up brings them together.
