This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I love this movie! I love watching Efron, Teller and Jordan cutting their acting teeth along with Imogen Poots. New York is a great co-star and the soundtrack is good as well. I watch this at least once a year!

I am not going to go around the bush. The awkward moment is a truly boring and utterly pointless piece of film making. Not even good enough for a Sunday morning when all the other TV channels have collapsed. When this movie starts on your television, you should use that time to try to lean important things in life such as how to solve the Rubik's cube, study the body transformation of the Kardashians or investigate the food habits of bacterias. I promise you any of these three examples would make for a better way of using your time than watching such a mediocre movie, featuring some of the most mediocre actors of the last decade. If Zac Effron is still around making movies in 10 years time, I will officially switch to Afghan cinema which will be, I am sure, a lot more entertaining.

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.

With a poll being held on IMDb's Classic Film board for the best titles of 2014,I felt that it would be a good time to view an easy- going Rom-Com.Talking to a family friend,I found out that he had recently gotten hold of a Rom-Com on DVD,that he found to be far better than expected,which led to me getting ready to find out how awkward things could be.The plot:After their pal Mikey is dumped by his long-term girlfriend,best friends Jason & Daniel decide that they will help Mikey out by forming a trio,with the goal being that they each get a roster of girls who they can sleep with,and that none of them enter a serious relationship.Going out doing a night on the town,the gang each catch the attention of various girls who soon start to let the boys to build their roster.Despite having made promises' to each other that they would never fall in love for any woman,each of the gang begin to have doubts on the vow that they made.View on the film:Filmed on location in New York, debuting writer/director Tom Gormican and cinematographer Brandon Trost use light blue and amber colours to create a smooth,breezy atmosphere.Whilst the title sets it self up to be a raunchy fest,Gormican shows himself to be surprisingly nervous over showing even the slightest hint of exposed flesh,with pillows/towels being used to stop the men & women watching the movie from seeing any "bonus features."Similar to his directing style,Gormican displays an unexpected level of charm in the screenplay,with the films initial burst of gross-out humour slowly fading into the background,and being replaced by a delicious light Comedy touch,which mixes hilarious slap-stick (such as the worst party dress code possible!) with dollops of silky Rom- Com.Featuring in every scene, Zac Efron, Miles Teller & Michael B. Jordan each give terrific performances which complement the other pals weaknesses,as Jordon shows Mikey to be the stern adult member of the gang,whilst Efron reveals Jason to be a rugged outside,and Miles Teller catches every one-liner flying,as they each find out how awkward their vow can be.
