If Jason weren’t a moron, he’d probably get that …Īnd as lively and loud as all of That Awkward Moment’s saga of Bro-rrested Development gets, and as charming as Efron, Jordan and Teller are - which is to say, substantially charming - the movie never really makes a significant jump wither in terms of its comedy or its ostensible drama. Jason calls this the “So …” conversation, and he dreads it. in voice-over, Jason explains that every casual relationship he’s had - sex, but no commitment affection, but no obligation - has come to a moment where the young lady involved - curse her for her simple, emotional needs - would like to know exactly where the relationship is headed. The fact is that aside from its ostensibly ‘natural’ but really terribly forced sense of the playfully blunt and lightly impolite - butts, fake sex, boner jokes and blowjob theory - That Awkward Moment is dispiritingly conventional and retrograde in its construction, plot and characters. When Mikey’s marriage implodes spectacularly, the three friends make a pact that they will all be single in solidarity with him no matter what - a pact that meets problems as soon as Mikey starts sleeping with his not-yet-ex-wife, Daniel starts kinda-sorta-seeing the trio’s female friend Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis) and Jason’s meet-cute with Ellie (Imogen Poots) is making him wonder why he’s so singularly focused on being single … Jordan) and slovenly, slack, charming Daniel (Miles Teller). Written and directed by Tom Gormican in his feature-film debut, That Awkward Moment follows three college friends now negotiating ostensibly grown-up life in NYC - ringleader and ‘rotation’ master Jason (Zac Efron), messily-married M.D.
