Dreamy 20-something actors? Check. Improbably beautiful New York City apartments? Check. Well-crafted dialogue and engaging storylines? Well, two out of three ain’t bad. Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan play a trio of buddies a few years out of college who party hard and sleep around in That Awkward Moment, a movie clearly meant for Millennials. There’s lots of texting and cursing and Facebook checking, interrupted only occasionally by an angsty line worthy of a real quarter-life crisis. It’s fun to watch the wise-cracking crew deliver funny jokes and sweet pouts, but the story just doesn’t support their talent.
Should You See It? Save this one for late-night Netflix viewing. —R.K.
