That
Awkward Moment (2014/Sony Blu-ray)
Picture:
B Sound: B Extras: A Film: B-
After
the failed marriage of one of their close friends, Jason, Mikey and
Daniel are best friends who are committed to being non-commitment in
a relationship (but having friends with benefits is still OK). They
all vow to stay single as long as humanly possible and who ever gets
into a serious relationship first is a loser, yet when Jason meets
the unpredictable and fun loving Ellie, he just can't help falling
for her, can Jason keep his vow of bachelorhood and still somehow see
her?
Jason,
Mikey and Daniel are your 3 typical bachelors who are fed up with the
drama that comes with the relationships, especially when it comes to
the word boyfriend & commitment. Jason (Zac Efron) is a
freelance artist believes women should be like like enjoying one can
of beer to the next, one after another. Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is
in a failed marriage but struggles to work things after his wife
admitting to an affair. And Daniel (Miles Teller) is more or less
Jason's sidekick who needs to just get back in the game. When all
three find girlfriends and new relationships, it will be a
competition to see who can be the guy to admit they haven't fallen in
love again.
This
was a typical girl/chic flick movie about making fun of guys who
don't want to commit that becomes a romantic comedy of them
committing anyway. It has a comic twist with irony, the characters
don't want be considered boyfriends, but they can't give up
the sex either, so the harder they try not to fall in love, the
faster and harder they do when it hits them.
The
1080p 2.35 X 1 digital High Definition image transfer is pretty
consistent and pf the quality you'd expect from Blu-ray, but without
any standout shots, while the dialogue-based
DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 lossless mix has enough music for a
consistent soundfield throughout. Extras
include meeting with the characters, behind the scenes, gag reel and
trailers.
