from Stephen Holden's NYT review of the movie "Humpday" ...

"... As the put-up-or-shut-up moment in a Seattle hotel room approaches, “Humpday” explores the ramifications of their decision in a free-form Mumblecore style. Much of the dialogue in a film that rarely stops talking was semi-improvised, and as Ben and Andrew, who are perfectly cast, consider the fine print of their verbal agreement, most of what they say sounds convincingly spontaneous. ..."

I'd like to know the def. of mumblecore. Is it cinema jargon?
