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.

This story line has been played out more times on the screen in one form or another than there have been bio pics about Henry VIII. Long in the tooth, waning frat boy types. Plenty of WTF references, dopey dialog and beer. And some nudity. Of course, gotta have some manicured male rear ends on display or why hire Zac Efron? (Do people who salivate over seeing male actor's butts ever stop think of what they are actually for?) The director could have...and I hate this trite phrase...phoned it in. As could all the actors. Some here have actually called this a "masterpiece." Seriously? You may need to turn off your cable provider and see more real films. No friends, there's nothing new here. Nothing to see. In 3 or 4 years I could bring this film up in conversation and you won't even recall it.I feel like a burrito.

That Awkward Moment (2014): Dir: Tom Gormican / Cast: Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Imogen Poots, Jessica Lucas: Pathetic hunk of trash about that moment when someone goes from casual dating to full flown relationship. We have three morons played by Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan. After Jordan's wife confesses to cheating he falls into a depression of liquor and ice cream. Perhaps giving him a script to a better film is out of the question for knocking this depression. Instead his buddies take him out drinking and chick hunting. This is where Efron picks up a woman whom he believes is a hooker by night's end. To make this even more manipulative she ends up showing up at his work place while he is giving a presentation on book covers. The buddies make a pact to remain single and only screw around but we all know that they will go through the media's version of falling in love. Jordan attempts to rekindle with his cheating wife. Teller is bedding a woman who was his originally just a bed buddy. I guess she has forged ahead nicely. Efron goes through heartache with Imogen Poots because she sees him as a thoughtless jerk. Jessica Lucas was last seen in Evil Dead and this is even more distorted career move. First time director Tom Gormican does everything but place black boxes on screen to avoid nude scenes all the while we get lame references to Jordan's penis. Another joke involves Teller stinking up the washroom. Here's an idea. Why not every viewer have an awkward moment rewarded with shitting over every print of this dreadful film. Score: 1 / 10

That 14 year old teenager you writers have been writing crap movies for is now in his 30's and bored with references to penis's and toilet humor and the same old sex frame ups and jokes. It's over. Do some real writing and stop reverting to the easy way out. We hated it. Anyone who actually liked it must be drunk or has never seen a movie before. Or is paid to write good reviews for rubbish movies. Don't even get the DVD. A waste of the actors who looked bored or embarrassed about the lines. And who can blame them, look at the best comedies, the ones you watch time and time again. There's no state the obvious crassness or labored scripts that've been done to death. Can't believe this one got picked up.
