Review of Blockers (2018) by Grantd243 — 24 Apr 2018
Blockers 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.
