Thankfully, we have a black comedy like 2024 friendship Pull the curtains back and fully explore the feeling of some men willing to overcome the “forever emptiness” that struggles to grasp their core every day.
By explaining how unchecked sense of survival in search of a community can quickly get out of control despite good intentions, friendship It is a masterclass of humor that can only be convincing through the screen relationship between Tim Robinson’s Craig Waterman and Paul Rudd’s Austin Carmichael.
