The debut A24 trailer for the new Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson movie, Friendship has arrived, and it’s everything you’d expect from Robinson. Could this be the funniest film of the year?
The buzz is building, and expectations for Friendship, featuring Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave) and Paul Rudd (I Love You, Man), are sky-high. The release of the first trailer has fans on the edge of their seats, eager for more. Many viewers have noted that the trailer feels strikingly similar to a sketch from Robinson’s cult-favorite show, I Think You Should Leave, leaving some wondering if this is really a movie trailer or just another bizarre, awkward sketch.

A24’s official synopsis for Friendship is brief but intriguing: “Suburban dad Craig (Robinson) falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, as Craig’s attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives.” It’s a simple setup, but it’s all you need to grasp the absurdist comedy writer-director Andrew DeYoung is crafting, leveraging the unique, offbeat humor of its stars. Alongside Robinson and Rudd, the film also features Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Conner O’Malley, and Meredith Garretson from Resident Alien.
