When you see Tim Robinson for the first time, it may remind you of many other comedians who love rubber, the crazy walking identifier. With a dark dark, turtle -like behavior, and two eyes showing an eccentric density, it can be the son of Rodney Dangfeld. He specializes in slow collapses, as he was making his way to the Kitch argument, which is the breadth of the hair from the real thing. In this way, he is the cousin to bomb clowns, such as Will Ferrell or the young Jim Curry.
But Robinson, who started in “Saturday Night Live” before moving to the innovative comedy series Netflix obsessed “I think you should leave with Tim Robinson”, may also be the first comedian that seems to be the ghost of Jean -Paul Sartre (or maybe Lilman Lowan). When he plays an aggressive negative role, he still says delicious and inappropriate things, he not only behaves the usual anger of the pent -up drone. It also shows hidden awe. No wonder that Robinson has become a star of worship. It is a kind of comedy actor that makes you press more than it makes you laugh-and this, in a strange way, is a testimony of the fear of his talent.
“Friendship” coincides with the first round in which he participated in a movie, which is currently-Kim Robinson-instead of eliminating the big screen the way Carrie or Adam Sandler did, by playing the exciting lesion for the audience, Robinson plays the type of pests that make the audience uncomfortable. It seems as if he had already cut off the place Carey did with “The Cable Guy”.
Robinson plays the role of a husband and father in the suburbs named Craig Waterman, which we meet in a support group for cancer survivors. Craig’s wife, Tami (Kate Mara), was cancer free for a year, and she appears to be a serious and grateful person. So when Craig makes a comment that is supposed to be care but it is clear that she might wonder, she might wonder, from the beginning, why Tamam is married to this ordinary man who already seems to be scary wardrobe.
At home, at home, they were in the midst of an attempt to sell, Craig received a package in the mail that was intended for a street home. (This continues to occur.) The package walks below the mass, to the other house, and knocks on the door. The man who answers, Austin Carmeichel (Paul Rudd), has just moved to the neighborhood, and he is painlessly friendly, a type of Shagist sweetheart. He calls Craig inward, and like that two of them are hanging out, which Craig does not know what he does, because he is a person who does not have friends.
One of my favorite comic films in the past two decades was “I love you, man” (2009), where Paul Rudd, who is so sensitive to the point that he is so shy that he was uncomfortable with becoming a little more dressed comrades than Jason Siegel plays. The film depicts the Platonic friendship as “romantic”, the film captured something about male middle -class fears of our time. The first strange thing in “Friendship” is that the film’s films intentionally, off “I love you, man”, only now Craig Robinson, who is “the” love “of Robinson, and the Austin, who is the brother” love “. The second strange thing in the movie is that Austin is a local television street, and it may be raised exactly the way Rod was in “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” – Heavy hair, the thick and park Sharp. These parts of the film background add to the movie a deadly flowing dimension and light.
However, the really strange thing in “friendship” is that although we may think, at first, we are watching a comedy about obsessed with sad sadness of its shells, the film is always sure that Creej, as Robinson inhabits it, is more like and more.
For a while, “takes friendship”, although Craig continues to do things like dropping his phone in the mud. His continuous barrels are an expression of vine – his need to sabotage himself and everyone around him. He is an enthusiastic obsessed, but he is also a Shukouk, a loser, semi -ignorant scales, someone who seems to be on some anti -society spectrum of his innovation. But he got a job for companies that gave him a bromide to live in, so when Austin tells him he hopes he can move from the morning warrman opening to a place in the night news, Craig says: Go to. Austin does. He gets the job, which makes him believe that Craig is his good magic.
But the friend Nervana does not last long. Austin Craig calls for coming and party with his circle of his friends, and the evening turns into a disaster. Craig problem – or one of them – is that he cannot Sniff. He does not know how. Or maybe the crunchy ego will not be allowed. This is the funniest sequence in the movie, because we see how Craig was designed to reveal the relationship between him and anyone else. All of it peak in a moment of trauma comedy, after he committed something very wrong (took out Austin in the “friendly” score match), and on this point Craig is a full bar of soap in his mouth and stands there they tell the other players, “I disturbed!”
Now we are convinced that Creej has lost his opinion. This is a testimony about the readiness of Tim Robinson to pay a personality – directly above the edge. But it turns into a problem for the film, as we no longer have a strong identity point. Written and directed by Andrew Dyong, “Friendship”, for the first half or so, Craig gives the masochism. But as soon as he loses his fist, we simply watch him becomes more and more. This also happens to the film. “Friendship” is similar to the “SNL” personal story that finds itself in the middle of the nightmare of Ary Aster. By the time Tamam takes to the hidden canal in the city, a special place that Austin has shown, we cannot tell what it is, and laughter begins to leak.
“Friendship” is released by the A24, so it gets more than its narrow comedy calls for a great factor. However, despite the promising moments, attractive performance by Rudd (even his leafy hair does not appear), the movie begins, after a period of time, feeling that it is for Cultists Tim Robinson only. Robinson brand of surrealism middle -class works perfectly in the doses of a sting comic. She extended to length, a character like Craig that simply stops logical. But does Robinson have a future in films? definitely. I could see him playing the starring role in a live version of “The Simpsons”. It is a new type of screen: The crazy NEBBISH who hates himself and is full of himself at the same time. But it cannot be a comic scale that it closes us more than they call us.
