That Awkward Moment


That Awkward Moment
This rom-com revolves around three friends, one of whom is married while the other two are playboys. When the married one is facing divorce, his friends convince him to mimic their lifestyle, with one rule: no one is to get involved with only one woman. Naturally it's not long before all three are involved, but try to keep that fact secret from the others, which in turn works against every relationship ... The critics were generally unimpressed.

94 minutes.

Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconTake three horny guys, all twentysomethings, mix with a plot that was old last century, and serve to an audience so desperate for dick jokes and toilet gags they might forgive a movie wired only with clichés.

ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconIt's relatively painless to null one's relationship with such a pic and that's what I imagine most critics and many a viewer will likely do after sitting through all 94-some minutes of this film.

Tomatometer quote iconFormulaic and unfunny, That Awkward Moment wastes a charming cast on a contrived comedy that falls short of the date movies it seems to be trying to subvert.
