Where Humpday really excels is in its depiction of Ben and Andrew's relationship. After so many years apart, they speak easily and candidly to one another...

One could only feel sorry for Alycia Delmore as the pliant wife of the silly husband, who goes along with his irritatingly neurotic friend's idea.

What could have ended up as crass, cringy and possibly offensive actually results in a very funny and realistic treatment of the premise.

Humpday is a high-concept comedy made for low-budget money that might just be one of the funniest films of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2009

The ending of the movie is an awful let-down, which is a shame: the film had been weirdly involving and Alycia Delmore is good as Ben's outraged wife.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2009

The film does a fair amount of squirming itself, but not before giving honest and hilarious thought to the carnal intricacies of the whole project.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2009

Shelton has been tagged as an extremely adept chronicler of the associations between men. It's fair to say that the director is good on relationships, period.

The questions are piquant, the answers droll and surprising.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2009

Forget the buddy movie and the "bromance", this wryly provocative comedy takes man-love to a place of palm-sweating uncertainty.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2009

It's the psychology of this unlikely situation that makes this edgy buddy flick so fascinating and funny. Entirely ad-libbed, it's The Hangover with a brain.

We've had romcoms - now here's the first of the homcoms. And I've gotta admit it made me feel both happy and gay.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2009

Shelton's film takes a quantum leap in its funny and fearless third act.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2009

Getting to the showdown is a fine and funny journey.

If I wanted to hear would-be counter culture yuppies yell at each other I'd hang out with my own loser friends.

Humpday is something surprising: a sharply observed slice of life, an entertaining example of the microbudget genre called mumblecore.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 6, 2009

Humpday succeeds by grounding its risqué premise in the awkwardness and humor of real people trying their damnedest to communicate. A lot.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 31, 2009

This is an excruciating dramedy of schadenfruede for the anything-goes hipness of the last decade and a half which has devalued contentment as a cop out

| Original Score: A | Jul 30, 2009

While at times the improvisational dialogue sounds like audio filler, the three leads are poignant and perceptive. Likewise Shelton's film, considerably more complex than those 'bros will be bros' comedies of male bonding.
