This movie left me with a strange mix of feelings, it was laugh out loud funny at times yet the humor was often uncomfortable and cringe and I have no desire to see it again. It stars comedic actor/writer Tim Robinson ( best known for his TV series 'I think you should leave) as Craig, a socially clueless buffon who's also a narcissist with virtually no self awareness. His family is falling apart as his ever patient wife ( Rooney Mara, reviving the familiar suffering wife character who makes you wonder how she ever ended up with this loser) is recovering from a bout of cancer. He also has a kind and thoughtful son who can barely stand being around his idiot father.
Craig is virtually friendless, which isn't surprising considering what a blatant fool he can be, until he meets new neighbor Austin, a charismatic local weatherman who takes him in briefly for a bromance where he shows Craig how to relax and live a little. When Craig proves himself to be just too weird and annoying to hang with Austin dumps him, leaving him to try ever more desperate measures to revive their friendship with funny yet uncomfortable results.
This movie was funny and entertaining but it was also a hard watch. Craig's social awkwardness creates an abundance of uncomfortable scenes akin to some "Curb Your Enthusiasm" scenes or a bad Tom Green skit from the 90s. I laughed at times but it was mostly out of sheer embarrassment for Craig so it was hard to watch this train wreck of a character make a fool of himself over and over. Craig has few redeaming qualities either so it was hard to do anything like root for him.
If you're a fan of cringe comedy you'll love this movie, me, not so much. It's hard for me to watch such an unlikable character for nearly two hours. Maybe the secret of the movie is you kind of know people like this guy, or even worse, you've been this guy.
