Review of Humpday (2009) by Kim H — 03 Jan 2011
"Sometimes male bonding can be taken a little too far.".
"Some loves are meant to be. This one, not so much.".
Two guys take their bromance to another level when they participate in an art film project. Stars Mark Duplass and Josh Leonard (Blair Witch Project). Would make a great double feature with the excellent I Love You, Man.
Ben: What a wild life you live, my friend.
Andrew: Enh. You always have the option of doing what I'm doing, and I don't know that I so much have the option of doing what you're doing.
Ben: Ah, it's easy. You just go to a grocery store, you find someone with long hair that's a girl, start kissing her, one thing leads to another. Then you buy her a ring, you get married, you buy a house. And soon enough you're converting your upstairs office into a potential baby room.
Andrew: Are you fucking serious?
Ben: Not yet, but we're on the path. We've officially removed the goalie, and now we're just doing free kicks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Andrew: That's the tricky thing. It's the difference between this and bungee jumping, is that bungee jumping, you just walk to the edge and jump...
Ben: ...and the whole thing takes care of you...
Andrew: ...and you don't have to have a hard-on to bungee jump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Andrew: I'm going to count to five and we're going to fuckin' *kiss* and we're just going to do it. Alright.
Ben: You ready?
Andrew: You ready?
Ben: Yup!
Andrew: You ready?
Ben: Ready.
Andrew: Ready?
Ben: Five...
[in unison].
Ben: four, three, two, one.
Andrew: [jumps at Ben. They open-mouth "kiss", but without moving at all; and they hold this for at least ten seconds; then they release and stand back].
Ben: [pauses, then sounds happily relieved] It wasn't that bad!
Andrew: [laughing] No, it was just... it's weird, I've never kissed stubble before.
Ben: Wasn't that bad!
Andrew: It wasn't *terrible*.
Ben: It wasn't terrible, no, it wasn't terrible.
Andrew: [long pause] Yeah, that was awful.
Ben: Dude, that was awful.
[pause].
Ben: Okay...
Andrew: Uhhhhh...
Ben: This is gonna be hard.
Andrew: Yeah, that puts a little wrench in the works, doesn't it?
