Article Summary
- A24 releases trailer for new buddy comedy film, Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson.
- Directed by Andrew DeYoung, Friendship promises humor with a unique A24 twist sure to deliver laughs.

Friendship is A24's version of a buddy comedy, and naturally, it is terrifying. It stars Paul Rudd, Tim Robinson, Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Josh Segarra, and Billy Bryk. It was written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, who is making his feature film debut as a filmmaker. The film premiered last fall at the Toronto Film Festival, part of the Midnight Madness section of the festival, and was immediately bought by A24. Anyone who has seen anything starring Robinson or Rudd knows that these two will commit to a bit more than almost anyone else on screen, and for that reason alone, this is a must-see.
Friendship Synopsis
Craig Waterman enjoys his life. He likes New Balance shoes, Subway sandwiches, and Marvel movies. He lives in the suburbs with his wife, Tami, and son, Steven. He's happy to work at Universal Digital, a company that helps brands make their products more habit-forming. Craig sees no reason to change anything or make new friends… until weatherman Brian moves into the neighborhood. Mysterious yet friendly, macho but vulnerable, Brian transforms everything for Craig, but Craig's obsessive and childlike nature threatens to ruin the friendship, and possibly everything else in his life.
