Célibataires... ou presque

Laughter. Offbeat and unconventional humor caused pure, undiluted laughter.

I still can't remember why I decided to give this movie a watch. Maybe I had nothing better to do that day, maybe I was longing for a romantic flick, who knows? But I'm glad I did.

I had an incredible time watching this film. All the lead actors seemed to be aware of the roles they were assigned to, and that lead to a very believable performance from each and every one of them. The story, though, was pretty predictable. The dialogues, however, wasn't. The friendship between the dudes was a very refreshing one since it wasn't dull, tedious, and forced. Their chemistry felt quite natural, smooth, and real.

The romantic aspect was portrayed nicely that it never felt overdone or sappy; just enough to keep the viewers interested, with some odd humor thrown in between to keep the situation from getting mawkishly sentimental.

So, if you're still dubious about watching this film, set your doubts aside and go watch it. 'Cause it sure is worth it.

Zac Efron, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan all face That Awkward Moment in this film when analyzing their respective futures as far as friendship and women are concerned. Efron wants them all to commit to non-commitents. But things have a funny way of not working out as we'd like them to be.

That Awkward Moment has the look and feel of a Brat Pack type film from the Eighties. Efron could easily pass as a younger version of Rob Lowe. This film reminded me a bit of St. Elmo's Fire. Sad to say it's not as good.

It's all right and should be please Zac Efron's fans. But it's hardly anything special.

Three NYC friends have love trouble. Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) draw cover art for books. Jason has a theory about girls who starts asking questions that begins with the word SO. Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is getting dumped by his wife Vera (Jessica Lucas). Jason and Daniel tries to get Mikey laid along with their wingwoman Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). Jason hooks up with Ellie (Imogen Poots) but he mistakes her for a hooker. To their surprise, she's at their work with a book for their next cover art. Alana (Addison Timlin) is one of Jason's bang buddies.

I really like all 3 guys as actors. I like the girls. I find the characters shallow and not in an interesting way. Sometimes it has some funny lines. It has some fun scenes but they don't add up to compelling relationships or even characters. This cast deserves a better script that has real heart. All the blame has to be laid on new writer/director Tom Gormican. Daniel and Chelsea come closest to a compelling story.

Well I love those actors but this movie quality is not good or funny

Not the best comedy, but the cast of the film makes it alive.

But the bad timing(execution) and the script makes it hard to watch.

Anyway not that bad.

Feel good comedy for anyone who likes awkward loves stories. : p

Overall - 3/5
