Humpday (2009) 6/10

Starring : Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard, Alycia Delmore
Director : Lynn Shelton
Running Time : 95 mins

Ben (Duplass) and Andrew (Leonard) are old college roommates. Since college, Ben has grown up and lives with his wife Anna (Delmore) and they plan on having kids, while Andrew is still the juvenile he always was. Andrew’s plan to make an erotic art film takes a weird turn when he and Ben are dared into making a gay porn film for Hump Fest.

This movie sounds funnier than it is. The problem is that a vast amount of the movie has the two men trying to get Anna to be alright with Ben working on the gay porno, and it does actually get quite serious as she gives him ultimatums. It’s a very uncomfortable look at how friendships can really drive people to do anything for each other, regardless of what it is, but it’s hard to say if, as a viewer, we’re expected to want them to have sex or want them to realise how idiotic the whole thing is and just stop.
