Review of That Awkward Moment (2014) by Leon B — 07 Jun 2014

Review:

I wasn't that impressed with this movie. Watching 3 teenagers falling in love after making a pact that they were going to stay single, does come a bit tedious after a while, and I didn't find it that funny. I'm getting a bit fed up with watching these American teenage movies about casual sex and fly by night girlfriends and boyfriends because it just isn't that easy in real life. Well not in my life. If your Zac Efron then it would be that easy, but for your everyday person, it really isn't. Anyway, the storyline was quite simple and watchable because you want to see how the whole story pans out between the 3 best friends, but I personally have seen this type of film many times before and this one didn't really stand out. Average!

Round-Up:

Although this film was made on a small budget, it was always going to make a profit with Zac Efron playing the lead because he seems to be on fire at the moment. I think that he will always be type casted because of his High School Musical days and his pretty boy looks, so it's a bit hard to take him that seriously as an all round actor. Anyway, all of the other cast members in the movie put in average performances, due to the script which wasn't that technical or out of the norm. It's basically light hearted fun with a deep undertone.

Budget: $8million.

Worldwide Gross: $40.5million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there buddy movies about 3 friends falling in love, even though they made a pact to stay single. 4/10.
