Synopsis

It’s been a decade since Ben (Duplass) and Andrew (Leonard) were the bad boys of their college campus. Ben has settled down and found a job, wife, and home. Andrew took the alternate route as a vagabond artist, skipping the globe from Chiapas to Cambodia. When Andrew shows up unannounced on Ben’s doorstep, they easily fall back into their old dynamic of macho one-upmanship. Late into the night at a wild party, the two find themselves locked in a mutual dare: to enter an amateur porn contest together. But what kind of boundary-breaking, envelope pushing porn can two straight dudes make? After the booze and “big talk” run out, only one idea remains—they will have sex together...on camera. It’s not gay; it’s beyond gay. It’s not porn; it’s art. But how exactly will it work? And more importantly, who will tell Anna (Delmore), Ben’s wife?

Writer/director Lynn Shelton, director of My Effortless Brilliance and recipient of the “Someone to Watch Award” at the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards, expertly mines the biggest ironies of the male ego to hilarious effect. Humpday is a buddy movie gone wild.

Really bad

HarryJohnson wrote on 12/12/2009:

After reading other reviews, I expected this movie to be at least ok. It wasn't it was awful. Do not under any circumstances waste any of your time or money seeing this terrible terrible movie. Not only is it not "phenomenally funny" it is phenomenally homophobic and yet another cinematic slap in the face for the gay community.

“Humpday” is one of those little movies that cause a big stir mainly because it was not expected to be as good as it is. Andrew appears suddenly on Ben’s doorstep one night and the two old college friends pick up their friendship like it was when they were in school. Andrew invites Ben to a party as a commune which advocates sex positive and while there they hear of many plans to make erotic art films for the local amateur porn festival. Andrew decides he wants to be a part of it so he decides that he should have sex with Ben (on camera) but this is not gay sex—it is an artistic project. There are only three things standing in their way—the fact that they are heterosexuals, Ben’s wife, Anna< and the mechanics of male/male sex. They convince themselves that this is to be an artistic film—two straight guys being themselves but having sex with each other.
Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua Leonard) are two likeable characters and the tension between them is built up beautifully—in fact the whole premise is convincing. However there is a very slow slide downhill and that is so sad because otherwise the film is wonderful. Lynn Shelton directed admirably and I love the premise of two straight guys making a gay porn film. There is no real nudity but there are some rather crude jokes and because the guys are straight, the film is that much more outrageous. The film sounds like it might be a dirty adult comedy but it isn’t—it is humorous as it is based on an unlikely situation as it puts straight masculinity to the test. The dialogue is excellent and the portrayals of the characters are quite good. The big scene of the film will have you laughing for a long time.
