Critics Consensus

Blockers puts a gender-swapped spin on the teen sex comedy -- one elevated by strong performances, a smartly funny script, and a surprisingly enlightened perspective.

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

John Cena, playing against his tough-guy persona, steals the show as the most sensitive parent.

A lot of the credit for Blockers turning the regressive tropes of the raunchy comedy genre on their head goes to director Kay Cannon...

Blockers reminds us, albeit comically, that socially and culturally, we have a long way to go when judging boys and girl equally, sexually.

Rated: 2.5/4

Gone With The Twins

While wholly unrealistic, the conversations between the adolescent teens are actually quite clever, demonstrating a comical lack of clarity about intercourse.

Rated: 7/10

Those who are a part of helicopter families, this film is just the one for you! Three parents learn that their daughters are going to lose their virginity on Prom night and fear the worse, spurring an overnight odyssey to stop their daughters in a misguided act of overprotectiveness. A quirky and rauncy comedy that manages to pluck at our heartstrings, especially for those who are just about to grow up!

It’s a funny movie but the humor isn’t for everyone. Since it’s for me, I found myself laughing hard at some things even if some of the jokes fell flat for me. Still, as a fickle John Cena fanboy, I can’t help but enjoy this movie.
