Formulaic and unfunny, That Awkward Moment wastes a charming cast on a contrived comedy that falls short of the date movies it seems to be trying to subvert. Read critic reviews

Three bros navigate the perils and promise of modern romance. One is freshly separated from his cheating wife; one is a serial ladykiller who meets his match but is too set in his ways to commit; and one gradually catches feelings for his platonic wingwoman. The prior two stories are par for the course, despite Zac Efron and Imogen Poots being rather likable together. None of the moments are that awkward, and some of the jokes are too "in." What's really surprising is the third story, which begets (another KStew doppelganger) Mackenzie Davis's excruciatingly lovely moment as an open mic night chanteuse with her soulful and modern rendition of "After You've Gone," chased by Miles Teller's so-subtle-and-you'll-miss-it look of admiration then dismissal.

While 'That Awkward Moment' seems like a hell of a fun movie to make for any actor in their twenties, guy or girl, maybe the writers should have taken a bit of that enthusiasm the actors had and steered it toward a better script that wasn't so formulaic. Michael B Jordan, Zac Efron and Miles Teller are clearly having a great time throughout this movie, but it's too bad their potential is weighed down by the typical tropes you find in rom-coms. There are moments when it feels like it tries to expand on the formula, but it actually dives headlong into that exact repetition we see in these movies. The only difference is there are three guys it's happening to at once rather than just one. The focus is on the guys side of the bro-ing out and relationship status instead of collectively allowing the girls pov to mean something as well. It could have made for a more balanced movie. Having said that, the hints at comedy from the guys was decent. Teller was the clear lead in this category while Efron takes the cake for the looks and Jordan adds the color. Overall, not a bad sit through for the age group they are trying to sucker in, but outside a few outlandish scenes, things moved too quickly and to familiarly to separate it from the usual bunch.

I had very low expectations for this movie. All the reviews were bad, and it generally just didn't look that good. As a story, it's a very uneven dramedy about relationships. When it's funny, it's really funny. But when it focuses on the drama, it stutters. Having said that the cast is fantastic. Michael B. Jordan, Zac Efron, and Miles Teller are all 3 actors with very bright futures. Especially Teller, the guy is hilarious in everything. This is one of those movie where in 10 years people will be like "damn! they were in a movie together like that?!" It sure won't be remembered for much else. Emily watched the whole thing and thought it was ok. If she likes it, I'm sure all the women will too. Guys, there's at least 1 scene at a party that makes the whole thing worth it. Check it out sometime.

Wow, what a disappointment this one turned out to be. I didn't care for any of the characters and the acting was just so-so. I really didn't pay attention to the trailers for this movie I just saw that it had Miles Teller, Zac Efron, and Michael B. Jordan in it and thought maybe it would be funny. I won't say the film didn't make me laugh, because it did a couple times. But most of the time I was pretty much bored. The truly only really funny part is where Zac's character shows up to the birthday party in his ridiculous outfit (which I loved). That was the most 'awkward' moment in the film as well. In the end it's not a film I would see again.
