The tweak makes it look like it's about a hetero love triangle.

Could they have PhotoShopped Alycia Delmore into that picture any more awkwardly?

But look at Alycia Delmore's face. They've thinned her down. I am not being critical of her appearance, I think she's beautiful as is, but they've taken 20 pounds off her weight in the film. Depressing.

This was a great film, one of the best of the year. Wish it had better marketing.

And the wacky letters let you know it's, you know, wacky.
Still no desire to see this thing (and not for Jeff's squeamish/prejudicial "spreading cheeks" reason). It looks like a pile of crap, and knowing the cop-out ending in advance makes it an irredeemable piece of crap.

And while they were cleaning things up for the DVD box, couldn't they have gotten rid of these guys' Liza Minnelli and Kate Gosselin 'dos too?

Maybe it's just a common "need a woman on the cover" phobia with DVD marketers--witness Rashida Jones being added to the homevid cover art for I LOVE YOU, MAN (yes, I know it's a far different film from HUMPDAY).

I think moving the title off (and thereby accentuating) their bellies makes it look more wacky/comedic.

I'm still baffled what the perceived audience is for a straight movie about gay sex. That seems a marketing niche that's being underserved for a reason, sort of like the one for indie movies about the people who clean up after suicides and accidents.

I saw this film this week now that it finally played here in the hinterlands of Nebraska. Words cannot express my hatred/disdain/scorn for this "indie" piece of crap. It is a perfect representation of everything I hate in commericalized/Sundance "approved" indie baloney. Not only is none of the acting sincere, the script (or improvisations) are too cute, there's really no character motivation, none of it is believable, and it all builds to a big fizzle anyway. How this got good/great reviews and a fanbase says more about so-called "indie" audiences/media hypers than anything. And the dvd box cover is funny as hell - i love it! A perfectly stupid cover for a perfectly stupid movie.

Absolutely zero desire to see this thing, despite glowing reviews (many of which were prefaced by the reviewer saying, "I had no desire to see this thing").

The premise is ridiculous and the characters seem annoying. But I really can't get past the almost self-parodic indie moral conceit the oozes out of this movie's marketing materials, like it's daring you to reveal that you're an unsophisticated homophobe by saying, "ew... gross." I refuse to believe that it's homophobic to not want to see Joshua Leonard getting rubbed down with scented oils (or whatever it is that finally happens.... would someone please spoil this for me?).

This is a great movie, and here's why I think so. It perfectly captures that juncture in life (late 20s, early 30s) where you realize you are not going to make a Citizen Kane. That your grand, youthful ideas of what you are going to become are, in fundamental ways, going to go unrealized. So you are torn up with guilt and shame at the thought that your are destined to be conventional. That you becoming what you beheld and are content that you have done right.
So that's the motivation. To the husband character, making the "art project" is about regaining his hipster cred. To the friend, it's about proving that a) he hasn't lost his hipster cred, and b) it's worth having, at the expense of a more settled, and perhaps satisfying, life.
The subplot with the lesbian couple is a fascinating comment on the contradictions of the hipster ethos. Supposedly so free-form, but in certain respects rigid, closed-minded, and judgmental. ("That's not the way it's done").
