I hated this movie.

I had heard so many positive comments about Friendship, the film starring actor, comedian and screenwriter Tim Robinson. Word of mouth of the A24 comedy was out of this world. It has 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I hated this movie.

Craig (Tim Robinson) meets his new neighbor Austin (Paul Rudd) and immediately falls hard for him. Craig wanted to be Austin’s friend and he went to some crazy steps to make it happen. However, he was not good at the interpersonal skills.

Probably the biggest reason I hated this movie was because of the protagonist. Craig was so unlikable as a character that I just did not find funny. It was cringy. I believe that is the way the comedy is meant to be, but I just did not like it at all.

I mean, I love Paul Rudd. I like Kate Mara. I like Jack Dylan Grazer. The cast was solid.

I found myself hoping this would be over. I was looking at my clock throughout the film. I just did not have any fun in this movie.
