Everyone has had that awkward moment, and the movie That Awkward Moment captures it all.
The movie is an entertaining and amusing movie, but also has a serious and realistic side to it. That Awkward Moment has several very famous actors and actresses, many that are nice to look at, so that makes it all the better. The three main actors in the movie are Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan.
The movie was released Jan. 31, 2014, and I was so excited to see it that I went opening night. I had high expectations for the movie, and I was not disappointed.
The movie starts off with a devastating break-up between Mickey (Michael B. Jordan) and his wife. In support of his break up, he and his two best friends, Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) make a vow to stay single as long as possible.
Jason and Daniel are both at that awkward stage in their relationships where they have to decide how to answer the question, “So, where is this going?” In Jason and Daniel’s eyes, that is the stage where you move on to the next prospect. The vow that Jason and Daniel made with Mickey starts to fall apart when each of the guys start to fall in love and try keeping it a secret from each other to keep a pledge to their bachelorhood.
My favorite part of the movie was when Jason meets the girl that he eventually falls for. They are at a bar, and a guy asks Ellie (Imogen Poots) if she wants a drink. She politely says no, and he tries forcing her to take the drink that he is about to buy for her.
Jason is standing close by and sees what is happening; so, he tries lightening up the conversation by making a joke about it. Ellie plays along and the guy finally walks away. After walking away, Jason and Ellie start talking and hit it off.
Soon, they can’t stand being away from each other.
I didn’t have a least favorite part of the movie, but I was disappointed that the funniest parts of the movie were advertised in the commercials released months before the release date.
That Awkward Moment, overall, is a great movie. I would definitely suggest it to anyone that is 17 or older, since the movie is rated R. It isn’t a movie for young teenagers, because of the bad language and sexual content. Other than that, it was a wonderful movie. It was comical, but also serious when it needed to be.
