(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1   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."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 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."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 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 2.5/4 "...a compelling and thoroughly original modern comedy."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 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."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "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."   EricDSnider.com   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 4/5 "Shot in a disarmingly improvised style, it's not clear whether this is a dramatic comedy or a very funny drama. Whatever it is, it boldly faces one of the biggest taboos of American society: male intimacy."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "This film is not very believable, and it really doesn't seem to go anywhere."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 3/5 "Lynn Shelton's film%u2014a promising premise in search of a payoff with more nourishment than room-service steak and milkshakes%u2014frequently dazzles and delights, but once the look-alike boxers come into frame, the only verb left is disappoints."   JWR   S. James Wegg "This audience-friendly indie sex comedy features almost no sex but plenty of nervous male bonding and a whole new angle on performance anxiety."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1
