That Awkward Moment

This film was better than expected. Sure, it was gross and wrong at times, but it was also endearing and probably more realistic than most want to admit.
Jason (Zac Efron) has just gotten out of another relationship. He didn't even know he was dating the girl. His friends are also in a bind. Daniel (Miles Teller) is still also living the swinging single life while Mike (Michael B. Jordan) has just discovered that his wife, Vera (Jessica Lucas), is cheating on him and wants a divorce. But Mike doesn't take well to the single life and continues to work on his marriage. I certainly wasn't expecting them to have a married character is this
Jason, on the other hand, starts seeing someone else, Ellie (Imogen Potts). But things get off to a rough start as Jason thinks she's a hooker. She's not, for the record. Luckily, she gives him a second chance. But he blows it again. And it's not when he wears a ridiculous fake penis to a costume party Ellie throws her for birthday with her parents present, but when he doesn't show up to her father's funeral. That was a bad move and Mike even told him he'd better go. Naturally, the relationship is basically over after that.
Daniel also becomes involved in a long-term relationship with another one of his friends, Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis), but unlike Jason, he embraces it. Yet, he lies to her, saying that he did indeed tell his friends about the two of them. Things get hinky when Jason catches the two of them having sex in the shower at Thanksgiving. This is also when the guys split up, temporarily of course. Mike has just ended things for good with Vera because she doesn't see the two of them having a future together and doesn't love him anymore. Daniel is happy with Chelsea and both of them don't understand why Jason continues to ruin his relationships.
Luckily, Jason grows up slightly and patches things up with his friends though he spends two months, yikes, stalking Ellie on facebook before finally making the big move, with a generous push from his friends. He recreates the moment when the two of them met. He also promises that he won't mess up again. I seriously doubt that, but at least he'll actually try this time. The film ends with the promise that they will get back together.
Though the acting was good and gave Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan more exposure, I had issues with the film in general. Women don't have real personalities to the guys, they are merely sex objects. Also, there is not even a pregnancy scare for anyone, something that probably does happen in real life more than it happens in films. That would have been interesting to see. I also found it interesting that Mike, a married doctor, is still hanging out with his two single horny friends.
I will certainly watch this film again, though I worry for the single population if this is what the dating world is really like. Grade: B
