Opening on the same weekend as Bruno is both logical, and unfortunate, for Humpday.
Both movies challenge the viewers to watch grown men in uncomfortable situations, yet both also aim for a higher message. Naturally, Bruno has received far more publicity. But that's too bad.
As our Humpday movie review details, this is an uproarious, intelligent movie. Read more about it now.

Young movie fans around the nation were likely excited enough for Bandslam.
The musical comedy stars Vanessa Hugens in a lead role, as she's one of several students that start a band and enter a competition together.
But now every reader under the age of 19 will be lining up for Bandslam on opening weekend. Why? Because an exclusive new trailer for New Moon will be shown prior to the feature.
Watch the Bandslam preview below and wait until the end to see the news for yourself:
The world's most popular movie star has found his next project.
Will Smith will re-team with I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence for a high-concept fantasy drama titled City That Sailed.
The film centers on a New York City street magician whose daughter resides in England.
The girl, while exploring a lighthouse, discovers a few magic candles and makes a wish to be reunited with her father. Presto! This wish causes Manhattan to break away from the rest of New York and float across the Atlantic.
An Oscar-nominated screenwriter will try his hand at penning Spider-Man 4.
According to Variety, Gary Ross has come aboard to rewrite the screenplay for fourth film in this franchise.
The publication says the deal is the result of his "growing relationship with Sony," as opposed to the fact that he's previously worked with star Tobey Maguire on Seabiscuit and Pleasantville; though we're sure that relationship can't hurt.
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios hope to start production on Spider-Man 4 before the year is through.
In Whip It, Ellen Page stars as a rebellious teenager that signs up to play roller derby brutal. Along the way, she discovers friendship and freedom... among numerous bruises and falls.
The film marks the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore, who told USA Today that she quickly learned how one must call upon a lifetime of experiences when behind the camera.
"Everything I've learned throughout my whole life has been going into this piggy bank, and I just smashed it all over the floor for this one," Barrymore told the newspaper.
The story of a young girl pushed in many different directions, Whip It also stars Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Zoe Bell.
Barrymore said the tale partly reflects her own, as she was a famous child star that struggled with the transition to adulthood.
"I felt pressures that everybody feels, whether it's inter-office, in high school or a small town. Everyone relates to expectations others have or what the world thinks. Who am I going to become? What am I going to be in this world?"
The least well-kept secret in Hollywood is that Michael Moore has been working on a documentary about the financial market.
We can now report that the name of this project is Capitalism: A Love Story, as the controversial filmmaker says it addresses the causes of the global economic meltdown.
"It will be the perfect date movie," Moore said this week. "It's got it all - lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's capitalism."
Moore has made three of the top six highest-grossing documentaries: Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko and Bowling for Columbine.
Yes, Megan Fox goes topless in Jennifer's Body.
We don't wish to downplay that clearly incredible fact.
But we've seen the actress pose seductively before; those images can be found in any number of magazines of blogs.
Conversely, how often is Fox captured on film following a healthy meal of young high school boys?!? That appears to be the case in this bloody photo of the star from Jennifer's Body:
In I Love You Phillip Morris, Jim Carrey plays Steven Russell, a real-life con artist that falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).
Following Morris' release, Russell actually escapes from prison multiple times in order to be reunited with the title characters.
The movie is scheduled for a February 12, 2010 release and here's the first official poster for it:
This is a very cool casting rumor:
Cameron Diaz is the leading contender for the female lead in Green Hornet. If a deal is reached, the actress would star opposite Seth Rogen in the Michel Gondry-directed film.
Shooting will begin shortly, with a release date already scheduled for July 9, 2010.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince may have been bumped back seven months from its original December release, but we can say with confidence:
It's well worth the wait.
Combining great storytelling with top-notch special effects, this is the ideal set-up for the franchise's conclusion in the upcoming, two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
