Another added: “I couldn’t stop laughing throughout Friendship! From start to finish, it had the kind of humor that just hits right—genuine, clever, and totally unforced. The story was not only hilarious but also surprisingly heartfelt and original. It’s rare to find a comedy that feels this fresh and still delivers an emotional punch.”
Tim Robinson is known for his Netflix sketch show I Think You Should Leave and some believe viewers need to be a fan of that show to truly enjoy the film. As one person suggested: “The movie is an absolute comedic masterpiece, but it’s not for everyone. You’ll have to have an acquired taste in comedy and be a huge fan of I Think You Should Leave to understand just how brilliant it is.”

They continued: “If ITYSL isn’t for you, then you’ll probably struggle to find it that that funny. It’s been a long time since I watched a comedy that was full of laugh out loud moments non stop. Tim Robinson’s portrayal of a socially awkward guy trying to navigate a new painfully awkward accidental friendship is brilliant.”
