HUMPDAY (4-Stars): Can you say bro-mance? The first “buzz” film of the festival, this frequently hilarious comedy is about two old college friends at wildly different points in their lives who are reunited. Ben (Mark Duplass of THE PUFFY CHAIR) has settled 
down and is ready to start trying to have a baby with his wife, while Andrew (Joshua Leonard, BLAIR WITCH) is an artist-type with no ties who has just returned from Mexico. Andrew’s visit and a night of drunken revelry leads to a mutual dare that neither wants to back down from: as two straight guys, they decide to make a gay porn film as an art project for “Humpfest.” Filled with wonderfully natural performances, awkward silences, and clever dialogue, this one got the first ovation at a press screening so far.
