That Awkward Moment arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. That Awkward Moment does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Best pals Jason and Daniel indulge in casual flings and revel in their carefree, unattached lives. After learning that the marriage of their friend Mikey is over, they gladly welcome him back into their circle. The three young men make a pact to have fun and avoid commitment. Zac Efron and Miles Teller lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2014. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and That Awkward Moment holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

That Awkward Moment is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Zac Efron sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
