Review of Blockers (2018) by Arth J — 17 Apr 2018

No one has ever got that before..

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.
