Review of Humpday (2009) by David S — 26 May 2010
I watched this straight after 'An Education' and a greater contrast in film styles you couldn't find. However I really liked the central idea of the storyand thought that the (it seemed) semi-improvised dialogue was really believable and very funny because of that. As a guy this really hit home but my wife also got into the story too and keen to see how they'd resolve it. The whole film is shot in a semi-documentary style and the sound is a bit dodgy from time to time but that is down to budget and not overally directing or acting quality.
Personally I really liked this and thought it was low budget film-making at its best. It was also good to see Leonard in another film after only seeing him in Blair Witch and thinking he was the best thing in that. Here he is the best friend from hell but you can't help but love him. He makes a potentially unlikable character very endearing.
A surprise find and one I'll definitely watch again.
