That Awkward Moment (DVD Review)

June 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Imogen Poots
Director: Tom Gormican
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 2nd 2014 (UK)

Jason (Zac Efron) isn’t good with commitment. In fact he isn’t that good at knowing whether he’s dating someone or not, as they tend to emotionally break up with him when he just thinks they’re hooking up. His friend Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is more settled down, with a wife, job and nice home.

Then Mikey discovers that his wife is cheating on him and suddenly he’s single. Jason and their third musketeer, Daniel (Miles Teller), vow to help him enjoy his newfound freedom, and they all agree to stay single and have some fun. Inevitably though (as this is a movie) Jason almost immediately meets Ellie (Imogen Poots), and after getting over an initial mistake where he thinks she’s a hooker, they start seeing each other. Daniel also has a new beau in the form of the rather posh Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). [Read more…]

That Awkward Moment (Cinema)

January 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Imogen Poots, Michael B. Jordan, Addison Timlin
Director: Tom Gormican
Running Time: 94 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 29th 2013

Zac Efron is branching out from his heartthrob image and is now in the more adult, blokey phase of his career. To be fair, it’s a part that fits him pretty well, and That Awkward Moment, while clearly a vehicle for his talents, has plenty more going for it than just him. It’s bawdy, funny, charming and easy to watch, and gets to the point pretty economically. It’s only real weakness is the casting of Imogen Poots, but more of her later.

Efron is Jason, a book cover designer who is enjoying the life of a single man in New York. When his pal Mikey (Michel B. Jordan) announces he is divorcing his wife (Jessica Lucas) he, Jason and Daniel (Miles Teller) form a pact, to remain single to help each other out in bars, keep each other company and always be there for each other.

Imogen Poots Asks Are We Officially Dating? Opposite Zac Efron

November 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

British actress Imogen Poots got her first big break with 28 Weeks Later, and while she’s popped up in various films since, it’s only in the last few weeks she’s really become flavour of the month in Hollywood. A few days ago she entered talks to play the female lead in Need for Speed, and now Deadline reports that she’s also signed up to star opposite Zac Efron in Are We Officially Dating?

The film is about three male best friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each of them meets their perfect partner. Zac Efron and Miles Teller are set to play two of the friends, while Deborah Ann Woll will portray the ex-wife of one of the trio. No details were given for Imogen Poots’ character, but presumably she’ll be the romantic interest for one of them.

Tom Gormican (Movie 43) is set to direct the movie from his own original script, which was featured on the 2010 Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. Shooting will start later this month.

Miles Teller Is Officially Dating Alongside Zac Efron

October 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago Zac Efron signed up for Tom Gormican’s romantic comedy, Are We Officially Dating?, and now he’s got some company as Variety reports that Footloose & Project X’s Miles Teller has joined him in the movie.

The film is about three Manhattan friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!). Efron and Teller will be two of those friends, although at the moment there’s no word on the third. Teller’s characters is apparently determined to stay sexually active, despite his vow to be single.

When Efron signed up, the plan was to start shooing this November in New York City, and we assume that hasn’t changed.

Zac Efron Asks Are We Officially Dating?

September 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Zac Efron could do with a decent hit, and he seems to be hoping the realm of the rom-com is where he’ll find it, as he’s joined the cast of Are We Officially Dating?, a new film that will be looking for buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival next week, according to Variety. (Ed: I’m presuming the movie is based on me and Zac, as he’s always asking me ‘Are We Officially Dating?’, or is that just in my mind?)

The film is about three Manhattan friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!). Zac Efron is the first to sign up for the film, with more casting news to likely follow out of Toronto next week.

Tom Gormican will direct from his own screenplay, which was featured on the 2010 Black List. The movie is set to start shooing this November in New York City.
