That Awkward Moment 2014


That Awkward Moment


     Jason, Mikey and Daniel are best friends in Manhattan.  They agree to remain free of relationships and hang out together.  His current non-girlfriend has dumped Jason because he’s not looking for a relationship.  Mikey’s wife has just surprised him by asking for a divorce.  Daniel usually isn’t seeing anyone.  They want to be available and there for each other just to have fun.  Everything begins changing when Jason meets Ellie and she seems just right for him.  Daniel begins to see his gal pal Chelsea from as not just friend material.  Mikey begins to think he can get back with his wife but reality gives him a jolt.  All three are afraid to admit to themselves and to each other that they may really be in an actual relationship?
     There are two situations in this film, living spaces that none of the three can afford and young men with commitment issues.  Sometimes all three of them can be classified as real jerks!!  If we place them into the jerk category, how can we really feel sorry for them when their plans don’t have a fairy tale ending?  Aren't they just bringing the ending upon themselves?  3* (This movie is OK)
