Friendship

"Dumb and Dumber" meets "Swimfan." Tim Robinson plays Craig, a kind of socially unaware man-child whose wife has recently gone through cancer and survived. They have a teenage son and have put their house up for sale. A package arrives on their doorstep. Wrong address. Craig walks it over to his new neighbor, Austin (Paul Rudd). Austin is a weatherman on the local news. He is also in a band. Craig is smitten with Austin's effortless coolness. When Austin invites Craig to hang with him and his bro friends one night, well it goes all awkward. There is a lot of funny stuff here and sometimes the jokes take the whole length of the movie to hit the punchline. Craig getting stronger-stuff from the teenager at the cellphone store was a highlight. I don't want to tell you too much because I want you to discover everything yourself - like the entrance to a secret cave that leads to a land of magical comedy. Catch it in theatres now or go rent it from Movies 'N Stuff when it becomes available.
