An off-putting man (Tim Robinson) is invited to hang out with the cool new neighbor (Paul Rudd) at the behest of his long-suffering wife. This opens up a possibility for bonding and connection with other men that he never thought possible before. But at the first sign of his odd idiosyncrasies, he puts the entire friend group off and becomes ousted. It plays out a little like a fucked up version of I Love You, Man. The reason this movie works at all is because of the awkward, cringe-style humor throughout of not quite doing the right thing, and of saying all the things that should not be said out loud. It's fun just to set up all the weird situations and circumstances and watch the characters squirm.
If you're a fan of I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, this will amuse and delight you. Easily one of my favorite comedies of 2025.
