MY FRIEND TOMMY follows Thomas “Tommy” Lee, a sheltered, real-life 40-year-old virgin who still lives with his Christian Korean parents under a curfew. Tommyʼs never been on a date, kissed a girl, cooked, nor does he own a personal bank account - leaving him with no adult skills. After years of Tommy pleading his unlikely best friend Nem (a 6'9" former pro-ball player and comedian) to “help him with the ladies,” Nem and his friends agree to take Tommy on an epic, cross-continental quest of challenges out of his comfort zone to rediscover the adulthood he never had, from cooking, to laundry, to dating, and even exploring sexuality. As they travel, ideologies clash and past traumas are revealed as the trip becomes a crash course in attaining the teens, 20s, and 30s that Tommy missed out on.

4/5
Right at the center of this brutal attack on social standards, there’s an emotional story about prejudice and how it has modeled us towards a relatively negative thesis. My Friend Tommy is beautiful, risky, and unique. Go to Full Review Sabina Dana Plasse Film Threat 09/29/2023
8/10
Being a very male-centric documentary, it offers an insider’s look as to what men think is necessary to achieve the companionship of women and how our society views dating and the process. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
