A24’s long awaited ‘Friendship’ has just shared its first trailer, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd in what is a comedy/horror spectacle
The trailer for Tim Robinson’s most recent work is finally out for your viewing pleasure.
For fans of Robinson’s work, it’s basically a movie feature length ‘I Think You Should Leave’ skit.
But this time it added the charismatic charm of Paul Rudd, who plays the lead character’s neighbour Brian.
It’s a quiet suburban nightmare, added with the social tension that is a mainstay in Tim Robinson’s comedic efforts.
The film follows Robinson’s character Craig, as he attempts to befriend his seemingly quiet yet friendly new neighbour.
As their relationship progresses, Craig’s overbearing attempts at adult male friendship lead to his alienation and outrage.
So as per usual Tim Robinson fashion, things turn awry, dark and pretty weird, pretty fast.
And if you haven’t been a huge fan of previous Robinson work, you’re probably scratching your head after watching the trailer.
And to be completely honest, it can be quite confusing.
While plot details are mostly pretty thin, what we do know from interviews is that it runs exactly like a long form version of one of his skits.
To get a bit of a taste, go check out ‘I Think You Should Leave’ on Netflix and you’ll get what I mean.
It’s got that weird euphoric kind of comedy that makes you think you might just be stuck in a really bad trip.
Well rest easy because you’re not, but it’s looking like ‘Friendship’ might just make you believe you are later this year.
The film’s director Andrew DeYoung comes off his 2022 comedy special‘Would It Kill You To Laugh’, so he is no stranger to a few laughs.
The film releases in theatres on the 9th of May, so mark your calendars and prepare for ‘Friendship’ this May.
