It’s high praise to say that the film—which pairs Robinson with Paul Rudd as neighbors whose efforts at bro-ing out together have increasingly calamitous consequences—feels like an extended episode of I Think You Should Leave, strip-mining a similar vein of beta-male psychodrama in ways that split the difference between blatancy and sophistication… It’s not worth spoiling Friendship’s best jokes here, especially since they’re likely to be memed into infinity on social media once the movie opens theatrically. For now, it’s simply worth noting that in addition to being hilarious and sad, the film functions beautifully as a work of film criticism via a running joke that Robinson’s character is excited for the new Marvel movie because, as he says, “This one is supposed to be nuts.” – The Ringer
“A gleefully discomfiting portrait of male bonding that delivers some of the year’s biggest laughs” – The Hollywood Reporter
