The older you get, the tougher it is to make friends. But if you were going to try and make friends with anyone, you’d want it to be Paul Rudd. A24 has debuted the trailer for Friendship, a nightmarish comedy from writer/director Andrew DeYoung, and starring Rudd and Tim Robinson.
A24 acquired the rights to Friendship in a pricey deal last fall, and now they’ve given it a plum release date to show their faith in it. The film centers on a suburban Dad who is trying really hard to become friends with his charismatic new neighbor, and of course it’s going to go horribly, hilariously awry.
The film stars Tim Robinson, best known for the Emmy-winning sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave. And then there’s Rudd, who might be the most likeable actor in the world? Is there anyone who doesn’t dig Paul Rudd? He’s also been known to have a hit comedy or two, including I Love You, Man which seems an apt comparison here other than the obvious horror vibes.
Also in the cast are Kate Mara and Jack Dylan Grazer.
SYNOPSIS: 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.
A24 will release Friendship in theaters in May.
