Want to see what many critics have called one of the best comedies of the year? Well now you can as Friendship, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd, is now playing. But just exactly when, where and how can you watch Friendship? Let us help you out with that.

Friendship is not your typical summer comedy movie. As many fans of Robinson likely know he typically brings his own unique sensibilities to projects. But critics have enjoyed it, as the movie has a “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 93% as of publication. That’s why we ranked it among our must-watch indie summer movies.

If you want to watch Friendship, here’s everything you need to know.

How to watch Friendship in movie theaters

Friendship is no longer playing in US movie theaters, but the comedy is playing in UK movie theaters.

Check local theater listing to find available showtimes and where exactly the movie is playing.

For frequent moviegoers that may have a particular theater they like to visit, we’d also recommend you look into movie theater subscription and membership programs. These programs, available through many US and UK movie theater chains, allow moviegoers to get free, discounted or monthly allotment of movie tickets, as well as provide access to deals on concessions and other movie theater perks.

Is Friendship streaming?

Friendship is not available as part of a streaming service at this time, but it is available to rent via digital on-demand platforms in the US.

We expect that Friendship’s streaming debut will eventually come on HBO Max, just as other A24 movies have recently.

We’ll update this post as more information about Friendship’s streaming and at-home viewing plans become available.
