Where To Watch Friendship

Friendship is a dark comedy that explores the awkward side of adult relationships through an unforgettable and hilariously uncomfortable story. Craig Waterman, a quiet suburban husband played by Tim Robinson, becomes fascinated by his confident new neighbor, Austin (Paul Rudd). What begins as an innocent attempt to build a friendship quickly spirals into obsession as Craig desperately tries to fit into Austin's social circle. His increasingly bizarre behavior threatens his marriage with Tami (Kate Mara), embarrasses his family, and turns an ordinary neighborhood into the setting for one of the year's most original cringe comedies. Blending sharp humor with emotional honesty, Friendship offers a fresh look at loneliness, masculinity, and the complicated need for human connection.
