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.

The trailer (I watched it on the Apple website a while ago) made this movie look pretty funny and possibly touching. It seems to be the latest in a long line of "mumblecore" movies, featuring hipsters and improvised dialogue and all that. Could be fun! Maybe I'll Netflix it.

EDIT: And after I actually take the time to read your post(s), I wonder if you are just some sort of strange indie-movie publicity spambot and I am still alone on PC in my love for discussing film? Awwww. :(

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.
