The premise, while certainly original, takes shape only after overcoming a rickety stepladder of clichéd comic situations.

'Humpday' is a stillborn Sundance fiasco with few if any redeeming qualities. 'Humpday,' Lynn Shelton's indie about straight men attempting gay porn for an erotic film festival, has been praised for its honest portrayal of male relationships, but any goodwill I had for the film was squandered on the intensely dislikable protagonist, the (come on) unbelievable plot line, and complete lack of dramatic payoff.
