2/4
"The problem is not the farfetched contrivance of
Humpday
, but how unmoored it seems from anything but self-satisfied cuteness."
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
B-
"A tale of gay chicken slathered with a thick coating of verbal wandering,
Humpday
is cute, well acted, but exceptionally trying at times, using an aesthetic reserved for realism to push across a trite frat house concept."

3.5/5
"ultimately plays as behavioral experiment and, slapping their stomachs and chests in nervous rhythm, its leads are prime specimens"
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
B-
"Alycia Delmore gives a nuanced performance as Anna, but it's the dumb-as-stumps performances from Duplass and Leonard that make "Humpday" a movie that you can laugh at as much as you laugh with it."

8/10
"In Humpday, Andrew can't help but compete with Anna, who has stolen his bro, or more precisely, his slowly receding notion of himself."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
C+
"It says very little about anything though promising to say much."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
4/5
"
Humpday
is like a peek into the brain of dudes and it’s either funny or discomforting depending on if you’re a guy or a girl. As a guy, I only prayed my wife wasn’t catching on."
Film Threat
Don R. Lewis
2.5/4
"A warm and usually winning shoestring-budgeted effort that proves money does not equate to real talent."

"Sadly, the most interesting characters in "Humpday" are not the main focuses of the story."
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
B+
"Consistently funny, as well as genuinely insightful about the way men relate to one another."

Eric D. Snider
3.5/4
"Humpday uses it absurd premise for maximum comic discomfort and its this approach that should have audiences unable to look away unless they are doubled over in laughter."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B
"It milks its edgy high concept for plenty of laughs, but it also does more. Shelton has made a touching, quietly disturbing comedy about the way our minds can take us prisoner."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
C
"Has moments of insight and cleverness, but it's pretty threadbare in every sense."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/5
"Explores the dynamics of male camaraderie, sexual politics, and competitiveness."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/5
"Can director Lynn Shelton sustain enough interest building up to the will-they-or-won't-they resolution? Yes, thanks single-handedly to the cast."
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
"The script feels about ten re-writes short of being filmable."
MTV
Larry Carroll
C
"...plays as if director Lynn Shelton watched Kelly Reichardt's "Old Joy" and decided to turn it into a comedy. It's abrupt ending plays like a filmmaker who has run out of idea."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
C+
"Ultimately devoid of anything much to say about sexuality or friendship."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
"A film that promises to be an outrageous comedy exploring contemporary sexual mores winds up coming across as little more than this generation's "Baghead.""
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
D
"This film is not very believable, and it really doesn't seem to go anywhere."
