I'm still not totally convinced this isn't just a deeper parody than "Crashmore" as a trailer. But apparently it's a real movie.

The fact that Paul Rudd is also starring as the friend, and the praise already applied to the film compares it to "i love you, man", is puzzling. is it making fun of bromance movies? or does it have some dark twist that turns it into some maniacal dark comedy?

It looks like this was probably a sketch that they just stretched into a feature length film. i mean, his line about the next marvel movie is so right out of an "i think you should leave" skit.

I hope Tim Robinson yells in this.

That’s a great trailer I’ll say that much.

never heard of the guy. The movie looks good.

If you thought it looked good then check out I Think You Should Leave on Netflix. You probably won't like it the first time but you'll like it the tenth time.

this movie lives up to its promise of being impossible to guess where exactly it's going even when some conventional setups are thrown in.

the friend i saw it with was like "I bet Paul Rudd just wanted to be on this thing to be in something that Tim Robinson made." However, it is not written, directed, nor produced by Robinson (at least not credited). Rudd is actually one of the executive producers, so maybe it's the other way around. Rudd is great in it, as are all the actors. They're all keyed into this kind of humor. Which is pretty unique.

I wouldn't call this "absurdist" or "anti-humor" or like any other odd take on the traditional comedy. there are legitimate laugh out loud moments but a lot of the biggest laughs are of course just reactions to how crazy robinson's character is.

it's just, as any fan may expect, one long episode of "i think you should leave". that should be enough to satiate any fan, but there are some nice surprises even within the universe of his mindset.

if you're not a fan or you're walking in cold, this would probably be a pass. if you are a fan and still don't like this...i don't know what to tell you.

i think JORR would appreciate how many times the word "Rats!" is thrown around though.

I just watched a bootleg of this tonight and it was really, really good. The level of awkwardness in it is at just the perfect level and it is so self relatable, at least for me. I could sort of picture myself in some of the situations that happen. As W_Z says, there are several joke jokes in there that help keep things moving along and are really good in their own right. I'm giving it 3.5 stars out of 4.
