My Friend Tommy: Review

23rd October 2023

“My Friend Tommy” is a thought-provoking film that takes on some tough subjects. It seems like it’s making fun of a problem in our society where guys feel pressured to act tough and fit in, but there’s more to it.

The story begins with a big guy named Nem who wants to help his friend Tommy. Tommy is a 40-year-old man who has never been on a date, never kissed a girl, and hasn’t even watched adult content. He lives with his strict parents who control his life, even his money. Nem decides to make a documentary about Tommy’s journey to change this.

At first, the film feels like a comedy because Tommy and his friends laugh at his situation and cheer him on as he takes steps to change. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that something deeper is going on.

When the film reaches its final part, it becomes what it was meant to be. If you thought the beginning was hard to believe, wait until you see the end. There’s a crucial phone call that reveals a lot about Tommy and the idea of self-righteousness. Sometimes, movies can be like a wake-up call, challenging our preconceived notions. “My Friend Tommy” does just that, making us reevaluate societal standards.

There’s another important phone call at the end that sheds even more light on the situation. It’s up to you to decide if the journey was worth it. Is “My Friend Tommy” really about Tommy, or is it about Nem? Who learned more from this experience? Maybe Nem seemed unimportant at first, but he plays a crucial role in a story that’s pretty unique for a documentary.

In the end, “My Friend Tommy” makes us question the rules and expectations society places on us. It’s a film that makes us think and feel for the people going through these challenges, showing us that sometimes, the most unusual journeys can teach us the most important lessons.
