SXSW 2025: Watch the Wild and Cringe-Worthy Trailer for Dark Comedy Friendship

Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd star in Friendship, a dark comedy about male bonding gone hilariously wrong—premiering at SXSW 2025.

With loneliness on the rise, sometimes the best remedy is simply putting yourself out there and meeting new people—but what happens when that goes horribly wrong? Enter writer-director Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship, a dark comedy that turns the awkwardness of adult male bonding into a full-blown social nightmare.

Starring Tim Robinson in his signature brand of painfully uncomfortable humor, alongside Paul Rudd, Kate Mara, and Jack Dylan Grazer, Friendship follows suburban dad Craig, who becomes obsessed with befriending his charismatic new neighbor. What starts as a harmless attempt at connection spirals into chaos, threatening to ruin both of their lives.

Premiering in the U.S. at SXSW 2025 on March 9, Friendship promises a laugh-until-you-cry descent into social disaster before hitting theaters this May.

“Men shouldn’t have friends.”
