When Andrew unexpectedly shows up on Ben's doorstep late one night, the two old college friends immediately fall into their old dynamic of heterosexual one-upmanship. To save Ben from domestication, Andrew invites Ben to a party at a sex-positive commune. Everyone there plans on making erotic art films for the local amateur porn festival and Andrew wants to be part of it. They run out of booze and ideas except one: Andrew should have sex with Ben, on camera for the sake of art.

A pair of guy friends randomly decides to make an "artistic" pornographic film to compete at the upcoming Humpfest porn festival in Seattle, starring themselves as two straight guys having sex. How would they pull it off and who humps who, would be the ultimate questions poised on everyone's mind.

Sounds like the right concoction for a dirty adult comedy, right? However, if you feel compelled to watch this, shame to say that no heterosexual males were compromised in the making of this movie, nor is there any actual pornography in "Humpday".

The two guys are best friends Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua Leonard), whose lives have taken very different directions since High School. Ben is married to Anna (Alycia Delmore) and Andrew is an artist who hangs around with people of different sexuality. One night, Andrew shows up at Ben and Anna's doorstep after having not seen each other in years. Anna's keen on getting to know more about Andrew, but soon grows less amused when she discovers of their odd porno plan.

This Sundance prizewinner from director Lynn Shelton is slightly titillating and its provocation more emotional, not physical. The performances between the three leads are good, bringing depth and sincerity to their character. Conversation wise is quite lengthy, too draggy at times that you won't miss much if you had left for a toilet break. Nonetheless, it's intriguing to watch two men try to talk past their mental block towards the act of making love to each other.

The hand-held camerawork isn't all too pleasing with its awkward quick focus and zoom adjustments, giving an improvised feel to the dialog. Overall, the story gives a promising starts, but leaves us with an unsatisfying ending.
