Suburban dad Craig falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor, as Craig’s attempts to make an adult male friend threaten to ruin both of their lives. With Tim Robinson, Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Paul Rudd.

“It suggests not just a subversion but a putrefaction of the Ruddy-comedy genre — a portrait of male loneliness so totalizing, and so scarily close to the bone, that laughs and screams all but bleed together.” (The New Yorker)

“Director Andrew DeYoung’s exploration of broken masculinity and middle-aged isolation manages to be the funniest — and the cringiest — film of the year.” (LA Weekly / Village Voice)

“The funniest buddy comedy of recent memory. Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd are the Jekyll and Hyde of modern male bonding.” (Boston Movie News)

“This anarchistic comic take on bad bromance is also a startlingly effective comment on 21st-century loneliness.” (Winnipeg Free Press)
