I think I saw a boob. That’s the state of the teenage sex comedy, we’ve come a long way baby. A surprising amount of heart in this from unexpected places. Cena is a hoot.

Blockers is a very funny raunchy sex comedy that is smarter than you'd think, more insightful and balanced than these things usually are, and follows a game cast acting out a strong screenplay. It doesn't drag and most of the jokes land. What more do you want from something like this. It's always going to have something of a capped ceiling. But it does pretty much as well as one could reasonably hope, which will funnily enough exceed most people's expectations.

For a mainstream comedy, Blockers has a lot of heart. It comes from both the characterization of the parents and the stellar casting of the girls; the chemistry of the latter is especially remarkable considering their lack of previous acting work. There are some flat jokes later in the film as a result of some iffy editing between scenes, but the film's climax is satisfying and heartfelt in a natural, unforced way – a surprising thing for a film of this type.

I kept watching this and thinking back to Booksmart, a decidedly amoral movie dedicated to moralizing the importance of being open-minded to other people who are rich. Blockers features largely the same ingredients, but manages to make them funny, interesting and, ironically, more emotionally resonant than its Pantsuit Nation counterpart. Cena is a talented comedic performer and Barinholtz's character is amusingly subversive. I watched it on a date and then had sex afterwards. five stars.

It's American Pie for a more sophisticated era, and with more parental involvement. This was unexpectedly good--dumb-in-the-good-way, and sweet, and lighthearted, and touching--if occasionally false--and the best straight comedy I've seen in years and years. There's humour of every kind in here, so you're bound to get at least a few laughs.

When talking modern mainstream comedy, Blockers is certainly upper tier. The plot is absolutely stupid, but the six leads navigate it in hilarious and touching ways. All six leads are given time to be funny, even the "teenage" girls who, notoriously, are typically reserved for either the embarrassed-and-againsty character or are there just to show some boob. Instead, everyone is having a good time and the heartfelt moments feel earned and real.

I can't honestly think of what more I would want from this movie. I was down from the get-go with a 2018 genderbent take on the American Pie trope. It's funny in all the places it needs to be funny (pretty consistent throughout). It's ridiculous but at the same time, hits its heartfelt beats where it has to. It's representative outside of the heteronormative which I think in this case is worth mentioning, because it makes it stand out. But at the end of the day, make me laugh. This did, a lot.

I had some good fun with this movie but the central concept annoyed me so much that it made it hard to push through at times. I just wanted these idiots to leave their kids alone! Still, enough heart, good gags, and entertaining performances to make it a worthwhile watch. But they all should have listened to John Cena’s wife to begin with! What else have I seen her in? Oh yeah, The Unicorn. That’s an okay show. She was good in it. Sorry, what was I talking about?

An updated version of American Pie, for the same audience, who now have children of their own. Pretty standard stuff, with some decent laughs here and there, delivered by a game (albeit occasionally cringe'y) cast.

Good natured raunch farce is a lumpy brew overall, but has some very funny set pieces, especially anything connected to Cena's rather wonderful and endearing comic performance (though he isn't covering any ground not already staked out by Schwarzenegger, The Rock et. al.) Meanders too much to be a total success, but its characters are more likable than usual for this genre, and has its share of genuinely sweet moments.

The good news is that this is actually pretty funny, and as good as you would expect a film like this to be. The idea isn't new, but the gender/role reversals bring an interesting aspect to it and the film has enough heart to not make it completely ridiculous. The comedy side is strong too and the cast does a great job. The film never feels like it really drags and whilst it brings no surprises, it plays out pretty well.

It has a lot more heart than I was expecting it to have thanks to a wonderful performance by John Cena. He was the funniest of the main leads and the younger cast does a great job as well. The jokes were made easy thanks to the main premise and I did not really find many of them made me laugh out loud. It was enjoyable but not a stand out.

Blockers is decent comedy that is 80% ludacris plot through physical comedy and about 20% heartfelt moments. Surprisingly, Cena carries this film, while Barinholtz provides the emotional depth. Viswanathan is the funniest of the girls. I laughed quite a bit, and from a film like this that's a pretty good outcome.

A comedy movie that's actually focused on comedy is rare in an age where your comedies have to either be these high concept films or even worse, action comedies. There's a lot of hilarious moments and Hannibal will never not make me laugh. One complaint I have is john cena just doesn't have any comedy chops, seems like a role made for The Rock.

I had heard surprisingly good things about Blockers, and being a fan of Viswanathan I decided to give it a chance...and it's exactly what you'd expect. The cast is good, especially Cena, and they do a lot to try and elevate the material, but the screenplay is just so uneven. I like how it tries to flip the average teen sex comedy on it's head, but it mostly just vacillates between being try hard and cliche. That said it's still likable enough to be a breezy somewhat entertaining movie.

Hey, this was good! I took it as a woman-directed commentary on that joke, you know that joke about fathers and daughters and how they're supposed to protect their virginity. Well, they subverted that in cool ways, from having a mom as well, to the girls obviously having agency and also respectful, consent-minded dates that they didn't need rescue from (as the trope usually goes ugh). John Cena rocks as a sensitive man. And his wife in the film was THE BEST.

I found this movie just entertaining enough to get through. Sometimes the parents are so insane it's distracting. I got annoyed that they kept doing the joke where the big guy would cry, I didn't think that joke was creative. I laughed out loud more than a few times at other jokes though. It has some gross out humor that didn't bother me too much but I strongly dislike gross out humor so I wish it had been left out.

PITCH PERFECT scribe Kay Cannon makes a solid directorial debut with BLOCKERS, earning points for thinking outside the gender-normative box with an inclusive and sex-positive message that's almost daring for a mainstream Hollywood raunchfest. It also has a ton of empathy for its characters, which means even its most cringeworthy moments--like the vast majority of its film--can be oddly sweet and satisfying.

When this came out, I think it got a lot of critical credit for not being a complete piece of shit. To be fair, it manages to take a potentially awful premise and make it with a lot of heart. But at the end of the day, it doesn't rise much above the typical raunch teen coming-of-age movie.

cast is fine and the scenarios funny and within a believable realm of reason. Some moments, like a butt chugging beer challenge, stick out as trying too hard, but on the whole it's enjoyable. But really, see Blockers for John Cena. He turns not being able to act at all into comedic genius, a pure, high octane dose of hilarity comes whenever he speaks. I'm down for at least three more movies with him like this before I get sick of it

I don't have a lot to say about this one. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It had a couple of funny moments, but nothing hilarious. It also had some emotional moments, but yeah, nothing special. I liked some of the ideas in there, but it's not elevated by the characters. The adults didn't do much for me, but some of the younger characters were kinda fun and entertaining. A nice enough movie, but not something I'd recommend especially.

About half the jokes land, many others induce more cringing than laughs. The more “emotional” scenes as the film gets towards the end are unconvincing and awkward. I can’t agree with the American Pie comparisons - Pie has a lot more creative and outrageous comedic set pieces than this film, which never really gets wilder than beer in a butthole.

Pretty damn funny, actually. It's mostly the adults' show, although Geraldine Viswanathan grabs her scenes by the balls (as it were) and makes an impression. John Cena is starting to come into his own as a comic actor. Leslie Mann's character is such an irritating, needy hole that it's often difficult to appreciate her work. I totally [heart] Ike Barinholtz!

Good chemistry between everybody, Cena puts in great work again (he's really making a name for himself in the film world I think). It set the stage earlier with a great beginning and while it didn't always maintain that level of humour it had enough quality jokes, heartfelt moments and surprising amount of depth to make it maybe not one of the fantastic comedies of all-time... but certainly a great one.

This is the best existing comedy portraying prom. Mind you, it's nothing special on its own, it's just better when you compare it. The movie has a few loud laughs, some dumb unnecessary moments, adorableness and a lot of John Cena being silly and funny. There is a certain niche for actors who have grown past the roles of wild youngsters, so they emerge into parents having a mid life crisis. Too much examples in the recent years... My point, "Blockers" is the best among the rubble.

A teen sex comedy for adults? I laughed a couple of times but this was boring. It seems like a movie made for folks who watched Porkys or American Pie when they were teenagers. I thought everything involving the actual prom was off kilter. Who has prom on a school day or has a backyard bbq beforehand? The teens aren't cliches, but they have no personality.
