Movie Review: Humpday One Of The Best Comedies Of The Year!!!!

Tonight, I went downtown to the Cumberland Theatre with a friend to see the movie “Humpday”.

The comedy, “Humpday”, takes “bromance” ,to the ultimate level.

Ben and Andrew are old college pals, they have drifted apart for ten years.

Andrew is a free spirit, although  he feels he hasn’t gotten his life together.

Ben is more stable he has a job, beautiful wife, and a home in the suburbs.

When Andrew suddenly resurfaces in Ben’s life, he starts to question if it  is the right time to start a family?

Ben feels like he has missed out on his youth.

Anna starts to feel left out when Ben begins to hang out with Andrew again.

Andrew takes Ben to a party where they get drunk and  high.

Ben and Andrew propose the idea of making a gay porno and entering a Seattle alternative newspaper’s porn festival contest.

Humpday is not homophobic, the central theme is about the “boundaries” between friends.

Would you have sex with a friend just to prove a point?

Andrew and Ben are basically trying to prove they are both macho.

Ben wants to prove to Andrew  he is not a complete square.

Andrew presents the image that he loves having a “carefree” life, but he secretly wants more structure.

The film also questions “masculinity” and male “vulnerability”.

The catch is Ben and Andrew are straight men.

Eventually, Anna finds out about the porn idea she is  mortified and angry at Ben.

However, Anna tells Ben he has her blessing to make the gay porno movie with Andrew.

Ben confesses to Andrew he once had a same sex attraction when he was a teenager.

Ben and Andrew rent a hotel room together to make the gay porn movie.

You will have to see the movie to find out the ending.

However, I will say “Humpday” is one of the best, quirky, intelligent, movies I have seen this year.
