HUMPDAY ***

A classic comedy of embarrassment from writer/director Lynn Shelton who brings an unerringly accurate eye to her tale of two life-long buddies who decide to make a 'gay' porn video together, ('Two straight guys bang each other'), drawing totally terrific performances from leads Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard, (the guys), and Alycia Delmore, (Duplass' much too talented wife), in the process.

It's a very funny and surprisingly truthful picture, full of the kind of people you would probably cross the road to avoid, (with the exception of Delmore who is sexy and sweet in equal measure). Amazingly the premiss never feels that far-fetched; the chemistry between Duplass and Leonard is strong enough to make you think there might be more to their friendship than meets the eye and if their characters aren't that endearing the movie most certainly is.
