Worldly parents trying to stop their daughters from having sex on Prom night

Copyrighted, Universal Pictures

Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “When three parents stumble upon their daughters’ pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal. Leslie Mann (‘The Other Woman,’ ‘This Is 40’), Ike Barinholtz (‘Neighbors,’ ‘Suicide Squad’) and John Cena (‘Trainwreck,’ ‘Sisters’) star in ‘Blockers,’ the directorial debut of Kay Cannon (writer of the ‘Pitch Perfect’ series).”

NOTE: The title is short for “C*ck Blockers.” We assume the distributor decided that title was too vulgar for advertising purposes. Notice, however, that a rooster (or cock) is shown before the word “Blockers”—affirming the full title.

  • Vulgar/Crude language: “I'm going to lose my G*d-d*mn virginity!”, “mother-f***…” (5), other f-words (60+), “p*nis,” “c*ck,” “d*ck,” “b*lls,” “bl*wjobs,” “c*m,” “p*ssy,” “m*ff,” “Let’s b*ne,” “b**bs,” “a**hole” (3), “a**” (2), s-words (20+), “b*tch”

Negative—This is seriously a thing? A movie about a bunch of idiotic girls wanting to lose their virginity for some stupid reason while their responsible and caring parents (portrayed as the antagonists) try to prevent their daughters from making big mistakes? As if we didn't already get a painful and agonizing insight of the sexually immoral and punkishly rebellious life of the modern day teen in “Love, Simon” and “Lady Bird.”

What's even more filthsome is that this movie, like basically every “coming-of-age” movie coming from Liberal Town—AKA Hollywood, is most likely going to end with the parents’ shallowly giving in and allowing their kids to go off and “follow their hearts,” spreading the message that it's okay for parents to let their kids go out and intentionally make foolish decisions and have a sexual hayday with as many people as they want because they're young and naive and they feel like it.

I wouldn’t take a chance on this movie.

…highly dubious and not very funny… awkwardly tries to balance gross-out gags with tender, warm-and-fuzzy moments. It's a tough trick to pull off, and “Blockers” gets stuffed at every turn…
Adam Graham, The Detroit News
…“Blockers” is the drunk sex comedy no one needs… the latest example of the millennium’s most dispiriting film trend: Stupid drunk people making stupid drunk decisions for two stupid hours…
Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post
…ungainly, choppy pacing. It feels like a slapdash collection of scenes rather than a balloon sent smoothly aloft, with jokes often falling as flat as Cena’s buzz cut (a running gag centers on his tough-guy character’s propensity for crying, a go-to bit that ages fast)…
Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
…has all the brashness and irreverence that any comedy fan of the Apatow era could ask for…
Kerry Lengel, The Arizona Republic
…The movie is sexually candid and foulmouthed. If you applauded Walmart’s decision to ban Cosmopolitan magazine, this movie is definitely not for you. Enemas are given. Vomiting becomes contagious. We see things we saw in “There’s Something About Mary,” and tried to forget. …[3/4]
Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News
…proves, more than ever, that feminine raunch has become the hilarious new normal… “Blockers”…isn’t really about these girls losing their virginity. It’s about how they seize control of their destinies, one triumphantly lewd zinger at a time.
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
…The kids are all right in “Blockers.” The parents are dopes. …
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
…Although the preaching for young women’s right to hook-up can feel intrusive, it doesn’t distract from the story entirely. …This film wants to have a good time with a positive feminist message. We can be silly, gross and foul-mouthed too. …
Monica Castillo, The Guardian
