From the classroom to the couch - a former teacher dives headfirst into the world of film. Occasionally insightful, but frequently full of existential dread and dry humour.

BRING HER BACK - Film Review
FRIENDSHIP is Andrew DeYoung's directorial debut and features a stellar cast that includes Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, and Kate Mara. The film follows Craig (Tim Robinson) as he attempts to befriend his new neighbour, Austin (Paul Rudd), while also trying to save his marriage with his wife, Tami (Kate Mara). On the surface, FRIENDSHIP plays like a classic "buddy-comedy" but is much more than that. DeYoung has drawn inspiration from brilliant dramas like THE MASTER to separate his work from so many other comedy films. 🎥 More from Points of Review 🌐 Website: https://pointsofreviews.com 📹 Top Films from SXSW 2025: https://youtu.be/rfSBl7dDJu0 🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@PointsofReview 👬 Friendship Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSPwZIZu6Y #FriendshipMovie #TimRobinson #TheMaster
