HUMPDAYItâÂÂs 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 BenâÂÂs 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 âÂÂbig talkâ run out, only one idea remains - they will have sex togetherâ¦on camera. ItâÂÂs not gay; itâÂÂs beyond gay. ItâÂÂs not porn; itâÂÂs art. But how exactly will it work? And more importantly, who will tell Anna (Delmore), BenâÂÂs wife? Writer/director Lynn Shelton, director of My Effortless Brilliance and recipient of the âÂÂSomeone to Watch Awardâ 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. http://www.vertigofilms.com/humpday
