That Awkward Moment (2014)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I really enjoyed this movie. There are jokes and scenes in this that killed me. Great cast, acting, chemistry, score and production. I'd rate it a 7.5If you don't like the humor/style, you will know in a few minutes so worth checking out this underrated movie. The score fits beautifully with the film builds--a post-rock industrial feel but more present, telescoping the emotion with the flow of the film.

I've probably seen this movie over twenty times already, and every time I love it even more. It's so refreshing that it's not your typical romantic comedy with a pretty girl and a handsome guy who fall in love. The characters are so much more relatable and the humour and jokes are similar to the ones I find in my own group of friends. They chose the perfect actors for the characters and you can see they actually enjoyed filming it. My favorite part might be the bloopers after the credits; they crack me up every time. I would totally recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good laugh and doesn't want to watch something too serious.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedies because I think romantic comedies nowadays have gone far down the mountain. With the cast of Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller, I figured this one deserved a chance. This follows by three friends: Jason (Efron), Daniel (Teller), and Mikey (Jordan), as they face dilemmas their dating lives. Jason is dumped by his girlfriend, Mikey and his wife Vera (played by Jessica Lucas) get a divorce, and Daniel has remained single for quite a while. The three guys decide to make a pact to stay single. Unfortunately, this only turns out to be easier said than done. Each of them begin getting involved with serious relationships and desperately try hiding them from each other. Before they know it, chaos between these three friends as well as their relationships with their girlfriends. This film is directed by first-time director Tom Gormican.Here is the best way to describe this film, if you picture the television series Sex and The City and replace the main characters with males, then you got this movie, only less clever and more clichéd. This film features a undoubtedly talented cast and the three main actors definitely show some great chemistry for the most part, but sadly the film struggles to come up with clever humor and relies on so many romantic comedy clichés. Many scenes are quite predictable and have a very light of true humor other than those typical sexual gags that we've seen before hundreds of times in them. Zac Efron, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan have some scenes of funny and witty dialogue, but then there are other iffy scenes that probably would have work better written on paper. Efron's character is very charming and witty in many ways, Teller's characters is a bit loud, raunchy, and somewhat obnoxious, then there is Jordan's character who is kind of the everyman of the group. Imogen Poots who plays Jason's new girlfriend is somewhat charming. Not to say this film isn't funny, this movie did make laugh a few scenes, but it didn't really give its best effort.That Awkward Moment is a comedy that many will watch, but only some will appreciate. This film is nothing original nor smart, but it has a little bit of goodness in it. In other words, not a film you'll find much replay value.

That Awkward Moment 2/10- I was not excited to see this movie at all. This was the only movie I haven't seen and I knew I had to see one. I was at least hoping to be surprised considering my expectations could not have been lower. Taking into account how low my expectations were, I wasn't surprised or disappointed. The only thing I would like to shine a spotlight on is Miles Teller who definitely showed decent acting ability. The performances in a romantic comedy can never be that good considering the movie does not demand much from its actors. Zac Efron, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan give performances that people would expect from them and nothing more. It is obvious that none of them knew much about comedy and no doubt memorized all of the jokes that they had to say. Having said that, the jokes that they did were pretty funny, but a real comedic actor could make them even funnier. Miles Teller was probably the funniest of the three and I do acknowledge the potential he has. Zac Efron and Michael B. Jordan though just had to say their lines and look pretty.There is not much more to say about this movie. The writing is above average and gives at least a new view of the romantic comedy genre. Still though, it is a cliché film, but every film is cliché one way or another nowadays. If you want a slightly below average romantic comedy and you love Zac Efron then this is the movie for you.
