It is also worth mentioning that this film would alsobe Robinson’s first major feature role since he is primarily known for his stand-up. Even then, it seems that Rudd and Robinson’s dynamic works very well with each other in the trailer. Robinson has to start as this goofy but likable neighbor, welcoming Brian into his life. However, he gradually shows how his character’s mentality is being chipped away as Brian gets into his head. On the other hand, Rudd portrays a charming neighbor who pulls the rug out from under his new friend and shifts his attitude and line delivery in response.
