Friendship (Andrew DeYoung, May 2025) Movie • Page 5

Yeah aside from being extremely funny, I was surprised at how much it absolutely does work on a more serious thematic level. He’s such a tragic character trying very earnestly to find connection with others but only ever gets in his own way. It kinda reminded me of Punch Drunk Love in how they took his already well-known “character” comedic persona and followed through the implications of what would happen to that kind of person in a more grounded “real” world

 

Going to a bbq of people I mostly don’t know tomorrow and just thinking “You’re smart, you have a good job, there’s nothing to be nervous about you’re a frickin prince”

 

I’m orgasming FINE.

 

How funny is Conner O'Malley in this?

 

Extremely funny but only in one scene, which is par for the course with him.

 

Just saw this and this was the biggest laugh at my theater

 

Yeah this was great. Definitely felt like a long ITYSL sketch at times but also works as a complete film.

 

Thought this was fine. Kinda funny. Way too similar to ITYSL to the point that I thought it was kind of distracting somehow. Meh.
