Now maybe some people did not know what movie they were going to see, but I liked it, and it was one of the better-written comedies of 2018. It had heart and a decent story, and was definitely funny, and maintained a good balance through-out. Highly recommend if you in any way like silly comedies. It was actually a really good movie for the comedy genre.… Expand

‍‍‍Plot: Three girl high ‍school seniors make a sex pact to all lose their virginity on prom night when thanks to the wonders of the cloud their parents become aware of their plan and pull out all the stops in an attempt to stop it from happening.

To the point: This unlikely team up of John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz mad for a very entertaining dynamic of characters in the given plot. Throw in Hannibal Buress, Gary Cole, Gina Gershon and Colton Dunn and you have a hilarious ensemble before you even arrive at the kids. Graham Phillips, Geraldine Viswanathan, Jimmy Bellinger all headlines pairings with great comedic timing and on screen presence. It’s probably been since Super Bad which was the last film I can recall that highlighted it’s young talent just as much as it’s seasoned veterans. The humor of this film ranges from subtle to extreme but balances a very well formed cast of misfits.… Expand

"Blockers" is cathartically hilarious and singular; an unmissable parental odyssey through the world of the new century

Screenwriters Brian Kehoe and Jim Kehoe sign one of the most lucidly witty and superbly developed comedy scripts coming"Blockers" is cathartically hilarious and singular; an unmissable parental odyssey through the world of the new century

Screenwriters Brian Kehoe and Jim Kehoe sign one of the most lucidly witty and superbly developed comedy scripts coming from a major studio so far this year. It's not a lie that the core theme, but not the be-all-end-all, is potentially suggestive, in every sense of the word, however, the true surprise is the approach used to narrate this barrel of laughs. One of the greatest strengths that makes it win the viewer empathy is that this R-rated comedy is easily identifiable, either in the role of parent or son, such identifiability facilitates the connection between side and side to unfold the story with full confidence and fluency; whatever's about to happen, the audience is already in a state of affable predisposition. In that great basis, it gets another important support: its ability to exceed the low expectations that many put in this kind of audiovisual products. I'm not going to lie, I was genuinely shocked to hear about the reception of this flick at the latest SXSW Film Festival, an act that, therefore, multiplied my interest in seeing what this anomalous teen comedy was made of. And the annihilation of those expectations lies in a well-aimed script, again, not by its resolute pathos, but by the tools with which it's worth to relate a story about sex, one which goes beyond its own limits to focus on the fibers of motherhood and modern paternity, acceptance, maturity, understanding, overprotection, sexuality, tolerance, forgiveness and friendship. Sex is the undeniable, disguised McGuffin that helps to develop the plot and all the situations composing this amusing idea. They use inevitably present-age matters as incentives, and that is precisely what makes it so special and endearing, that you, your friend or neighbor can star this adventure: there are divorced parents, single mothers, homosexual characters, sex games, young "chefs" and repressed girls; there's diversity and the plot richness is there. John Cena had already left small hints about his acting aptitude with short roles, however, it's possible to observe closely the comical beast this man of enviable proportions keeps secret with one of his few leading roles. Alongside him, an empowered charming Leslie Mann returns better than ever, an actress who didn't make a good decision selecting a role like her golden years in "The Other Woman" or "Little Birds" in a long, long time. It's good to see her again starring a high-quality flick, managing a delicious balance between naturalness and exaggeration by means of Lisa, an excellently plotted character that, by surprise, isn't portrayed as the typical spinster mother who dies in a bathtub with her thousands of cats eating her hair — even if she literally says so. — Mann easily fits in the trio of "cock-blocking" parents, endowing a special charm both the group and her character through a display of sincerity and strength; a great satisfaction to know one of the queens has returned reloaded. To date, Ike Barinholtz has been present in several major-studio comedies recently. Thanks to his long journey alternating in the series "The Mindy Project" and that movie catalog, the actor has found his own mark and has known how to use it in the right way. This time he plays Hunter, a divorced father who everyone knows for cheating on his wife with a nanny and for being a lousy paternal figure. At first, his character becomes a sort of retainer to the story, but some minutes later, transmutes into a delightful catalyst to the fierce spark to emerge and work without obstruction. As for the young cast, an impetuous Kathryn Newton, a surprising Geraldine Viswanathan and a depressingly interesting Gideon Adlon lead and manipulate this #sexpact2018, the three women permeate her character with energy and veracity, they're properly related to reality.

Steadily facetious, with a light and clever narrative and charismatic and striking performances; "Blockers" by Kay Cannon disperses its weaknesses thanks to a limited, magnificent cast and a wisecracking script, using them to make an undeniably contemporary film, not necessarily by the presence of smartphones, social media, and emojis, but by the organic and trustworthy treatment applied on the story, displaying congruent and coherent attitudes to a 21st century in which, surprisingly, morality and amorality remain standing in front of feelings. Few aspects can be refuted about Universal Pictures' comedy that constantly activates the corner of your mouth and your most perverse sense of humor; an offering that stands out among the rest by its honesty and correct adaptation on the millennial generation through an open-minded prism. A breakthrough for the politically incorrect major-studio comedy, an example from which they must learn, understand and respect, not emulate and spoil.… Expand

Where it went wrong was misdirecting its depiction of parent-teenager relationship into slapstick and gross humor appealing to the somewhat inebriated 16-23 white male. Acting was mediocre, John Cena particularly. I believe a more sensitive approach, with targeted humor would have made a forgettable movie into something worth remembering. One last thing: when will directors/screenwriters realize that the nearly constant use of the words "f**K" or "f**king" degrades both the movie and the impact of the term itself. If they believe it reflects real life then its no wonder they can't produce a real movie.… Expand

IBlockers was directed by Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect) and stars Leslie Mann, Kathryn Newton, John Cena, and others. This was a nice surprise, because I mean...if you think about the plot of this movie, you wouldn't expect it to be good. I honestly didn't, and I was still skeptical even after it got a solid RT rating. But, this was a very enjoyable comedy. The plot is that a group of teenage girls make a pact to each have sex on prom night. The parents find out about it and decide to try and stop their daughters from having sex. And, as you might imagine, lots of challenges lay ahead of the parents if they really want to prevent the pact from succeeding. Not every joke lands in this one, but I laughed way more than I expected, and there were a few jokes that actually got me laughing pretty hard. The best thing about the comedy in Blockers, to me at least, is that it doesn't shy away from crude comedy. Some of it will gross people out, but it was right down my alley humor wise. Oh yeah, John Cena was easily my favorite part of this movie, and that is definitely something I didn't expect. t'd watch this one again, and I probably will. I still think that Game Night is a better comedy, but hey, it's cool that there have been a couple of solid comedies released this year.… Expand

Blockers

Its a smart comedy with sensible writing on each character's perspective that resembles with practicality and still tickles the audience whilst connecting them through the same old "generation gap" formula. The adrenaline rush never wears off in this 102 minutes of journey whose real protagonist is the gripping and amusing screenplay by Brian and Jim Kehoe. Kay Cannon is surprisingly good on her debut as a director although the editing seems a bit eerrie which fortunately doesn't factor in a lot in here to be a bad cookie. There isn't much to provide on performance but still John Cena and Leslie Mann are hilarious on their role as worried and emotional parents with a decent supporting cast. Blockers isn't some out-of-the-park home run but it surely scratches some deep issues and raises appropriate questions coming off surprisingly meaningful and innocent than anticipated.… Expand
