Our take

Suburban dad Craig's awkward obsession with charismatic neighbor Austin drives this M-rated comedy. Very frequent strong profanity, crude banter, drinking, and uncomfortable social stalking played for laughs fill the runtime. Graphic violence never shows up. Mature older teens and adults who enjoy edgy comedy fit ClearAge around M.

Story (may spoil tone)

Suburban dad Craig falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor Austin, and his attempts to make an adult male friend threatens to ruin both of their lives.

In a panicked comedy set piece, Craig steals a gun and holds people hostage, with wrestling and workplace scuffles elsewhere. Nobody dies in those bits. Someone does get hurt, though

Craig's awkward rants and panic keep the f-word flying constantly, with plenty of the s-word and other harsh insults mixed in. The swearing is wall-to-wall adult comedy talk. Parents should plan for it from the jump

A blunt marital chat covers orgasms she is not having during sex, and Craig casually says he has no problem. Between them it stays awkward adult talk. No sex scene or nudity appears on screen

Breaks bring cigarettes, beer and cocktails get poured, and one character tries to score ayahuasca before licking a toad for a psychedelic hit. From scene to scene, those substances fuel the bad-decision male-bonding comedy

Talk after watching

  • Craig wants connection but crosses boundaries. Where does enthusiasm become unhealthy?
  • Male friendship is rarely shown this honestly. What makes adult loneliness funny and painful?
