Director: Andrew DeYoung
TIFF Presentation: Midnight Madness
Country: USA
Year: 2024
Runtime: 100 minutes
Language: English
Cast: Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, Kate Mara

The Deal: Craig’s (Robinson) obsessive personality takes over when he begins to alienate his new neighbour Austin (Rudd).

We’re blessed to witness the comedic gold of having Robinson and Rudd lead a film together. Robinson brings the same eccentric comedic style that we’re used to from Detroiters and I Think You Should Leave while Rudd creates a perfect balance with his charismatic and laid-back humour.

Watch This If: You can never go wrong with Paul Rudd, but if you need more convincing, it’s a great team up from DeYoung (Our Flag Means Death, PEN15), Robinson and Rudd.

Rating: ★★★★★
