Hey Caleb;
It’s ALWAYS necessary to have an antagonist. Audiences understand movies and stories in certain ways, and the reality is just that they need a (singular) character who embodies the resistant force to a protagonist from scene to scene.
This character (the Shadow, according to Joseph Campbell) can shift from character to character during the course of a movie, so it’s very possible that the friends begin as allies and BECOME antagonists during the course of the story (and could shift back to being allies by the end). But there should probably be a LEADER (like Regina George in Mean Girls).
As far as including that in the logline, I’ve seen loglines work without explicitly stating who the antagonist is, but it’s usually heavily implied.
