It’s certainly watchable due to the three leads, but ultimately you’re left wishing the movie was good enough to accommodate for the acting talent. There are a couple chuckle-worthy moments, and some clever banter between the three guys, but most of the comedy falls flat and the romance is absolutely insane from beginning to end. You don’t believe these relationships for a second. The dialogue for the most part is asinine. It turns the characters into caricatures at times because of how fake it is. No one in their right mind would say these things, and no woman in their right mind would react positively to these things. It’s so forced from beginning to end.
That Awkward Moment isn’t a bad movie. It would’ve been terrible if they cast average actors, but thankfully the stellar cast keeps the movie watchable and mildly entertaining until the end. As a romcom it’s insane, but then again, most of them are so you should know what you’re getting into with That Awkward Moment.
Three NYC friends have love trouble. Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) draw cover art for books. Jason has a theory about girls who starts asking questions that begins with the word SO. Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is getting dumped by his wife Vera (Jessica Lucas). Jason and Daniel tries to get Mikey laid along with their wingwoman Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). Jason hooks up with Ellie (Imogen Poots) but he mistakes her for a hooker. To their surprise, she’s at their work with a book for their next cover art. Alana (Addison Timlin) is one of Jason’s bang buddies.
I really like all 3 guys as actors. I like the girls. I find the characters shallow and not in an interesting way. Sometimes it has some funny lines. It has some fun scenes but they don’t add up to compelling relationships or even characters. This cast deserves a better script that has real heart. All the blame has to be laid on new writer/director Tom Gormican. Daniel and Chelsea come closest to a compelling story.
Three guys vow to stay single. Jason (Zac Efron) is a NYC book cover designer who plays the field. He doesn’t realize he is dating a woman until after they break up with him. Daniel (Miles Teller) works with Jason and has a friends with benefits relationship with Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). Guess how that works out. hint it’s a chick flick. Mike (Michael B. Jordan) is a doctor whose wife (Jessica Lucas) wants a divorce and is cheating on him with a lawyer. Jason meets Ellie (Imogen Poots) who is everything he wants in a woman as this throws a wrench into the «everybody stay single and play the field like we’re in college» vow.
This is a chick flick poorly disguised as a guy’s film. We know it is a chick flick because it is overrated due to Zac Efron being in it. It tosses some crude humor at us and some better barbs about relationships, but frankly it is the same old Hollywood shtick that brings nothing new to the table. Having said that, the actors did a fine job in their roles made unconvincing by a trite script.
Will do as a chick flick rental, although I thought «The Other Woman» was a funnier chick flick.
«That Awkward Moment» is a romantic/sex comedy about three male best friends in their twenties living in New York City. Two of them, Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller), work all book cover designers in a publishing house. The other, Mikey (Michael B. Jordan), is an emergency room doctor.
While Jason and Daniel are happily swinging singles with their rosters of girlfriends, Mikey has just been told by his wife that she wants a divorce. All three guys promise to each other that they would all remain single together.
Unknown to his friends though, Mikey strove to revive his marriage with wife Vera (Jessica Lucas). On the other hand, Jason meets and gets close to a new girl Ellie (Imogen Poots). Daniel begins to see his BFF- and pick-up partner Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis) in a different light. Can all three yuppies actually keep steadfast in their fraternal pledge?
Zac Efron is undeniably fit for this charming yet shallow and arrogant character. It seems though that he had a step backward from his serious portrayals in «The Paper Boy» and «Parkland» to find himself in rather embarrassing scenes in the first third of the film (they were funny though). However, in the final third, Zac was more in his element. His final monologue alone reaffirms his status as romantic lead. This was despite my opinion that his Jason and Ellie do not really jive together.
Miles Teller plays the raunchy, noisy, annoying friend here. He is the funniest and the most relaxed of the three main actors. He remains very likable despite his smart-alecky character, coming across as a young Andrew McCarthy. His chemistry with his partner Mackenzie Davis was the best of the three pairs in the film.
Michael B. Jordan is fresh from his acclaimed performance last year as an ill-fated ex-con in «Fruitvale Station». His character is the most stable of the three friends, and his character does not really get too idiotic situations. He finds himself in more dramatic than comic moments here, which makes his character feel like an odd man out.
The comedy aspect was only occasionally hilarious when an actor makes a total fool of himself. There are two big comedy gimmicks here that will make this film memorable. One was when they show Zac and Miles try to pee while Viagra was still on full effect. The other was when Zac goes to Ellie’s birthday party with his awkward sense of «dress up.» Other than that, nothing really funny, more of annoying, grating and forced.
The romantic aspect fared better. It was actually quite well-written, though treading on very familiar ground of male-female relationships and commitment phobia. When is going out just simply going out? The film was quite frank on scenes and language of a sexual nature though, with scenes of semi-nudity of the three actors. I was surprised to see this rated only R-13 locally. This should at least be an R-18 for me because maturity is required to properly understand this aspect of the film.
I was so unsettled by this movie, I walked out before it ended, To the point I just didn’t care, even though it was getting close to the end, But I was tortured enough. Identity Thief(2013) is an Oscar winner compared to this.
Michael B. Jordan why are you in this, you have proved to be better than this, you deserve better. Has for Zac Efron, after seeing you in this, I think your 15 minutes of fame are about up.
Listed as the director and writer of this is Tom Gormican. No clue who that is but I hope this is his last film. I feel sorry for Mr. Gormican that he apparently has no straight male friends. If he is going to write a story about straight guys perhaps he should be familiar with the subject somewhat. Here’s the first clue for you, Tom: straight guys do not whip their wangs out in front of each other nor do we discuss them with each other or want to see each other’s wangs. We’re not always thinking about wangs. That’s just some gay fantasy that’s as authentic as straight guys thinking that all female sleepovers end with sexy lesbian pillow fights. We also don’t talk about our feelings with each other like we’re on Dr. Phil. This is just a complete crapper. Skip it unless you like movies that are terrible.
I have read a ton of reviews saying this movie is not worth seeing but I don’t understand. I laughed the whole time. Come on, it’s three 20-something’s fooling around with women. What do you expect? Oscar winning acting, costumes, music and writing? No. It’s a feel good comedy meant to entertain you. And that’s what I got out if it. And so did the rest of the theater, I’m assuming from the constant laughter.
That Awkward Moment was not awkward at all! Just hilarious. Well, there were a couple of awkward scenes but it added to the hilarity.
The specific «awkward moment» is when a girl says «so. «; the three friends say that nothing good comes after a girl saying «so». For example: «so, where are we headed» or «so, what are we?». But this is me (a girl) saying «Soooo. That movie was hilarious! You need to see it.»
I mean, it did make me glad I have a bf already and don’t have to deal with guys like in the movie but they are funny, attractive and charming.
I didn’t like Ellie who is a main character. She seemed disheveled and couldn’t get a US accent just right the whole movie but everyone else was wonderful. Especially Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis), she was the icing on the Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan cake. Yum.
The movie definitely earned its R rating with swearing and adult scenes. Oh, and Zac Efron does in fact Rock Out with a large, strap-on (Blank) Out. For a good amount of time. So, be ready.
There was a woman behind me talking the entire time. PEOPLE. STOP talking through movies! We can all read the 8 ft tall «three months later» placed immediately in front of our faces. No need to narrate.
Laughter. Offbeat and unconventional humor caused pure, undiluted laughter.
I still can’t remember why I decided to give this movie a watch. Maybe I had nothing better to do that day, maybe I was longing for a romantic flick, who knows? But I’m glad I did.
I had an incredible time watching this film. All the lead actors seemed to be aware of the roles they were assigned to, and that lead to a very believable performance from each and every one of them. The story, though, was pretty predictable. The dialogues, however, wasn’t. The friendship between the dudes was a very refreshing one since it wasn’t dull, tedious, and forced. Their chemistry felt quite natural, smooth, and real.
The romantic aspect was portrayed nicely that it never felt overdone or sappy; just enough to keep the viewers interested, with some odd humor thrown in between to keep the situation from getting mawkishly sentimental.
So, if you’re still dubious about watching this film, set your doubts aside and go watch it. ‘Cause it sure is worth it.
This film tells the story of three buddies who navigate their ways through meaningful and disposable relationships.
«That Awkward Moment» is marketed as a comedy, but I didn’t find it funny. It starts off a little funny and entertaining, when the three friends take a pill then hell breaks loose. After that, the film goes downhill. There are lots of tedious conversations, and the interactions between the three friends are juvenile most of the time. The plot is just not funny or sweet, which are requirements of romantic comedies. It’s not hilarious and outrageous enough to be a raunchy comedy either. It’s in fact boring to watch. It had promise to code a raunchy comedy, but it tries to hard to portray the male bonding and courtship rituals to the point of being annoying and tiresome.
I am so angry that I wasted my time watch this crappy movie.
The storyline was completely unoriginal and devoid of real humor and intelligence.
The jokes were tired and pointless and we have heard it all before, many times. The script was flimsy, and full of holes. The initial reason why Vera left Mikey rang hollow. Surely if you had a problem with your partners spontaneity, you would just tell them instead of requesting a divorce. And suddenly, after one act of spontaneous love making, they are on the road to recovery. I mean, how ridiculous is that. Just one of many, many examples of this foolish story.
The acting was the pits; Zac Efron is just not a good enough actor to be leading man material. The rest didn’t impress me much either. There was complete lack of charisma and absolutely zero chemistry between any of the couples. Not funny, not fun and not interesting in the slightest!
Jordan’s character, Mikey, was the character that I found most bearable, as he seemed to have some sort of dignity or depth. Daniel, played by Miles Teller, literally made me cringe with anger at his nonchalant crassness, reminding me of that guy in high school who tries to be funny but has no intelligence to back it up. Apparently, repeatedly telling a girl that you are «the best b— j— receiver» is endearing(?). Efron was completely unlikable and never really redeemed himself or matured, making the film feel empty and unfinished.
Overall, «Awkward» checked all the boxes of a basic romantic comedy, including all of the wrong, stereotypically youthful ones. The only thought I left with was wondering how Efron’s character could afford such a nice apartment.
Zac Efron, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan all face That Awkward Moment in this film when analyzing their respective futures as far as friendship and women are concerned. Efron wants them all to commit to non-commitents. But things have a funny way of not working out as we’d like them to be.
That Awkward Moment has the look and feel of a Brat Pack type film from the Eighties. Efron could easily pass as a younger version of Rob Lowe. This film reminded me a bit of St. Elmo’s Fire. Sad to say it’s not as good.
It’s all right and should be please Zac Efron’s fans. But it’s hardly anything special.
The German title of the movie. Apart from being more specific about the movie as a whole, instead of a moment, however defining it is for one of the three main characters, it’s not really well chosen. With movies likes this, you know where it’s heading. So it’s necessary to have actors who can hold their own. In this case, it’s the females who mostly pull the weight.
And they do that with less screen time than their male counter parts. It’d be a better movie with them playing front roles. But as it is, we have a decent romantic comedy, that will have Zac Efron fans happy and anyone who likes his/her comedy light satisfied too.
Not the best comedy, but the cast of the film makes it alive.
But the bad timing(execution) and the script makes it hard to watch.
Anyway not that bad.
Feel good comedy for anyone who likes awkward loves stories. : p
«We’ll use a coupon and get him a cheap hooker.»
Jason (Zac Efron), Daniel (Miles Teller) and Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) are three close friends from New York. One day Mikey tells them the news that his wife Vera (Jessica Lucas) was waiting at home for him with a lawyer and coolly announced that she wants a divorce. The lawyer is also the guy she has an affair with and the one she’s leaving him for. The three make an agreement to remain single forever and just go on with the art of conquering female beauty. Jason is the one with the least problem with that, since this is his life’s motto anyway, and he claims that a relationship comes to an end, as soon as the partner starts asking questions about where their relationship is actually going to. It turns out that they aren’t really able to keep up this promise and they start to jump through hoops just to keep it hidden for the partners in crime.
So it’s clearly a totally predictable, used several times and all but funny subject. Most scenes were far from hilarious, let alone funny and gave me repeatedly vicarious shame. Or you are of a certain age and you wish you’d be in such a situation. And you also love toilet humor. You would laugh about the endless remarks about someone taking a crap, colored penises and sometimes vulgar sexist banal humor. In any case it didn’t impress me. I couldn’t even smile about it.
