Humpday Movie Synopsis

It's been a decade since Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua 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 (Alycia Delmore), Ben's wife?

  I heard about this movie following the buzz it got from Sundance last year. While the movie had its moments and there being good chemistry between the two male lead characters, I felt the movie was a bit flat. It did point to how far men will go to prove their "machoness", but I think the movie lacked a bit more detail in script. Alysia Delmore (female lead) wasn't very good - which was a bit distracting. Overall, a good concept, but flawed execution.
