There's next to nothing that I found enjoyable in any fashion when watching Humpday. This is a film that brings together two relatively unlikable protagonists, that share the kind of friendship I see in movies but cannot relate to in any fashion. Their friendship doesn't seem healthy, and they allow this vileness to destroy the real relationship one of them has been enjoying up to that point. Even worse is when they start justifying their actions, which begins the game of chicken that leads to the climax of the movie. I cannot stand the series of stupid things that these characters must do in order to get them to this conclusion, and since this kind of mumblecore film doesn't have all the dialogue written down, I can see the actors thinking through what they need to say in order to drive the conversation to the place the story needs to end. I suspect the final scene is supposed to be so awkward it is funny, but I was never laughing. Humpday simply didn't work for me, and I almost felt that it was bordering on offensive. This simply isn't the kind of thing I find funny, and the characters made me cringe more than laugh.
