That Awkward Moment (2014) 7/10

Starring : Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B Jordan, Imogen Poots, Mackenzie Davis, Jessica Lucas
Director : Tom Gormican
Running Time : 95 mins

When Mikey (Jordan) discovers that his marriage is falling apart, his two best friends Jason (Efron) and Daniel (Teller) agree to stay single to help him through his ordeal, but it isn’t long before the three womanisers meet women that they want to spend more than just a one night stand with.

The three main characters (or at least Efron and Teller) are about as unlikeable as you can get, yet the story of these womanisers finally settling down is actually pretty good, even though the one-liners do at times feel rehearsed. It’s hard to believe that any of these guys could possibly woo any woman into their bed (especially Teller whose character has all the charisma of a damp sponge), but this just leads us into what is basically a story of three boys growing up and realising that life isn’t all about scoring with chicks and who can lay the biggest number.
