Preview: Humpday (2009)

Synopsis:

Two old friends decide to make a porno together.

• Poster: C

Review:

The implications are in the trailer, but the poster actually pushes the idea further that these two, while straight very well may be making a gay pornographic art film. The pink wallpaper in the background is a bit too stereotypical and the not-quite-disgusted looks they give to one another along with their shirtlessness just make for an awkward advertisement.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

An indie film complete with festival plaudits and plenty of street cred, the film itself doesn't look terribly good despite being a pseudo-relationship drama exploring the lives of the central character and his wife as she deals with their decision to make the pornart film.

Oscar Prospects:

I can't imagine the Academy caring beyond a "oh, look, another indie" thought.
