buddy movies
Friendship-centered cinema
Buddy movies are films centered on the relationship between two main characters—usually men—who are thrown together by circumstance and must cooperate despite their differences.
The genre thrives on contrasting personalities: the uptight cop paired with the loose cannon, the slob with the neat freak.
Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, and Thelma & Louise are classic examples.
The appeal lies in watching friction evolve into friendship.
