Our take
Friendship is an R-rated comedy about suburban dad Craig's awkward obsession with his charismatic neighbor Austin. Expect very frequent strong profanity, crude banter, drinking, and uncomfortable social stalking played for laughs. No graphic violence. Mature older teens and adults who enjoy edgy comedy
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.

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?
