Director: Andrew DeYoung
Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd lead Friendship, a 2025 release from director Andrew DeYoung about a next-door bond that curdles into something uncomfortable.
What is Friendship about?
A suburban husband and father, adrift and a little starved for connection, latches onto the cool, effortlessly likable neighbor who has just moved onto his street. What starts as easy camaraderie, shared hobbies, and late-night hangouts opens a door into a world he never had access to, but it tips quickly into something more desperate and awkward once the friendship hits its first snag. Kate Mara plays the wife caught watching the fallout from the sidelines, while Jack Dylan Grazer appears as part of the family orbit trying to make sense of a father spiraling over a broken social bond. DeYoung builds the film's tension out of cringe rather than confrontation, letting silences and misread signals do the damage a shouting match never could.
Cast & crew
Tim Robinson brings his signature discomfort-driven energy to the lead role, opposite Paul Rudd as the neighbor whose easy charm sets the plot in motion. Kate Mara and Jack Dylan Grazer play family members absorbing the consequences at home, with Rick Worthy, Whitmer Thomas, Daniel London, and Eric Rahill filling out the surrounding cast of coworkers and acquaintances.
Context & significance
Andrew DeYoung directs this 2025 American production, which runs 152 minutes and mines suburban male loneliness for a mix of humor and unease rather than easy laughs. The film sits closer to discomfort comedy than traditional romance or crime despite the range of tags attached to it, built around a single relationship rather than a large ensemble plot.
Where & how to watch
Friendship is available on K-Time with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, so viewers can choose whichever fits them best. The page is free to read without an account, though watching the film itself requires logging in, and the whole experience, from menus to search to recommendations, is built around Farsi-speaking audiences.
