This has a Llewyn Davis-type tone to the film but it explores mid-20's masculinity in an interesting way that most guys can relate too.

The script is decent, but it lacks cinematic potential.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 18, 2022

Compliment the film for having the balls to call out the similarities and differences within a new, modern landscape of dating and relationships.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2022

It may mainly be of interest as a cautionary tale for parents of twenty something women.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2021

A disappointment considering the talent at hand.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

Although some awkward moments in the third act trip things up a bit with some unnecessary convolutions of story, on the whole, there's nothing awkward about That Awkward Moment.

| Jan 8, 2020

In That Awkward Moment, only men have friends-which suggests that the movie believes, despite its protestations to the contrary, that only men are people.

| Aug 28, 2019

Neither particularly insightful or very funny, even with solid performances from its cast, That Awkward Moment feels like a wasted opportunity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2019

Writer/director Tom Gormican's script is littered with observations that are supposed to supply the actors with smart one-liners, but most of the material doesn't have the zip it seeks.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 1, 2019

At the very least, it is a complete waste of time.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 3, 2018

What purports to be a more grounded and honest take on relationships from the male perspective ends up falling back on many of the old clichés.

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Imagine the television series Friends with a lobotomy, and you are near to comprehending the crassness of That Awkward Moment.

| Jan 2, 2018

That Awkward Moment is a strange mix of old-school male characters you may have met in a 90s bar, and saucy and irreverent humour sometimes pushed so hard it falls flat.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 8, 2017

Three of the best young actors working-Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller-star in this tonal misfire that can't decide whether it wants to be American Pie or early David Gordon Green. And so we all suffer.

| Mar 10, 2017

Dull, narcissistic and disconnected from humanity, That Awkward Moment contains not an ounce of real humanity or organic character development.

| Original Score: D | Jun 21, 2016

"That Awkward Moment" is perfectly titled - as in that awkward moment when your romantic comedy isn't at all romantic and often blithely unfunny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2016

From the outside That Awkward Moment looks like a typical, throwaway comedy but it has heart and an indie spirit that turn it into something altogether different, something that deserves to be seen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2014

The refreshing thing about this otherwise formulaic romantic comedy is that writer-director Tom Gormican gives the verbal humor some rhythm, shooting many of the dialogue-driven scenes in long takes so they develop a pleasing ebb and flow.

| Oct 20, 2014

Playing like an explicit, junior equivalent of Sex And The City combined with the emotional immaturity that Adam Sandler delivers with his own style of ensemble movies, the film's plot lines are messy and unfocused.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2014

An extremely attractive cast fails to overcome the clichs in writer/director Tim Gormican's film.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 1, 2014
