"With X-ray vision, this serious indie comedy, written and directed by Lynn Shelton, sees through its male characters' macho pretensions to contemplate the underlying forces hard-wired into men's psyches..."
New York Times

"[I]n scene after scene, HUMPDAY carefully raises the stakes until it hits a finale loaded with humor, tenderness, and delicious ambiguity. It's like OLD JOY by way of Judd Apatow." -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club

3 stars out of 5 -- "The actors, principally Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard and Alycia Delmore, are terrific and natural, playing their scenes in something resembling the semi-improvised style of Judd Apatow's recent work."
Box Office

"[I]t's funny....That director Lynn Shelton can steer her film down all these thematic roads and yet still include some giddy laughs is a mumblecore marvel indeed."
Movieline

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "HUMPDAY is funny, yes, but also observant and thought-provoking..."
Chicago Sun-Times

"[S]harply observed....[The film] exists in a realm somewhere between mumblecore wispiness and shock-jocular Apatowian romp."
Los Angeles Times

4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]oth ridiculous and surprisingly real, mining a very rich seam of comedy while also making some very sharp points about male friendships..."
Uncut

4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] sweetly handled buddy flick, asking compelling questions about sexuality and friendship."
