What to Know

Critics Consensus

Observant and insightful, this indie comedy takes a different tack on the "bromance" but still makes a point without sermonizing.

3.5/5
Where Humpday really excels is in its depiction of Ben and Andrew's relationship. After so many years apart, they speak easily and candidly to one another... Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Jan 5, 2010

One could only feel sorry for Alycia Delmore as the pliant wife of the silly husband, who goes along with his irritatingly neurotic friend's idea. Go to Full Review Angie Errigo Empire Magazine Dec 18, 2009

What could have ended up as crass, cringy and possibly offensive actually results in a very funny and realistic treatment of the premise. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Jul 31, 2026

It's a sitcom-level premise executed to surprisingly good effect (thanks to great direction and excellent lead performances). Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Nov 13, 2019

Robert P @Superbad Sep 26, 2026 Humpday = a *3.5* star Movie! See more Dec 8, 2021 Two straight men who decided not to have sex with eachother on camera. Had the potential to be so great. I really thought it was a good idea and wanted to see more of the "why are we doing this" unfold. I wonder if "hump fest" got to see a part of it. See more Aug 19, 2021 the plot sounds interesting, but the movie is snore-core. if it were not for the surprise ending, i would have turned it off half way through. i'm not bummed that i watched it, but on the other hand, i won't be watching it again. See more Aug 3, 2021 Stopper watching when wife rapes husband for not coming home for dinner See more Mar 14, 2021 Unexpectedly engaging and moving exploration of friendship and sexuality.
