· ·

Looking for a hilarious, cringe-worthy comedy at TIFF 2025? Friendship, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd, is the perfect pick. Directed by Andrew DeYoung, this film brings together two comedy powerhouses in a story about awkward bromance gone wrong. Here’s why Friendship is a must-see at the festival!

What’s Friendship About?

The movie follows Craig (Tim Robinson), a suburban dad who becomes obsessed with befriending his cool new neighbor Austin (Paul Rudd). What starts as a simple attempt at friendship spirals into a series of awkward, hilarious, and totally cringey moments as Craig’s desperation to bond with Austin turns his life upside down.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Tim Robinson’s Cringe Comedy: If you’ve seen I Think You Should Leave, you know Robinson is the king of awkward comedy. In Friendship, he plays Craig with the perfect mix of vulnerability and ridiculousness.
  • Paul Rudd’s Effortless Cool: Rudd’s character, Austin, is the charming neighbor we all want to be friends with, and he plays off Robinson’s awkwardness perfectly. Their dynamic is comedy gold!
  • Relatable Humor: We’ve all had that moment of trying a little too hard to impress someone. Friendship takes that feeling and cranks it up to 100, making for some painfully funny scenes.
  • Perfect for Midnight Madness: This film fits right into TIFF’s Midnight Madness lineup with its quirky, dark humor and unforgettable awkward moments.
