Blockers Reviews

A very silly movie that makes several very serious points.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

With Blockers, the bar for raunchy studio sex comedies has been raised to thrilling, unprecedented heights.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 16, 2020

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

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 5, 2020

I went into Blockers wanting to laugh a lot after a couple days and the film provided me with the escapism medicine that I was craving. Nothing cures sadness like well-designed comedy.

| Nov 6, 2020

Blockers is timely, laugh-out-loud-so-much-it-hurts-your-face-funny and heartfelt.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2020

It'd be a lie to call Blockers a waste of time. It's just that it wastes its own time too often.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020

While advertisements fool us into thinking we're getting something raunchy, we end up experiencing a story that has more than just titillation on its mind.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 17, 2020

With discrete ideas about sexism, feminism and sexual orientation behind its character development, this is a comedy that breaks out from the rest. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 5, 2020

If nothing else, it's a welcome change to see teens, especially young women, portrayed as competent, thoughtful, and capable of making not only their own decisions, but good decisions.

| Original Score: B | Jul 1, 2020

In times like these, we can use a good laugh, and Blockers has plenty.

| Mar 20, 2020

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

| Mar 13, 2020

As a comedy, the film is hysterical; all three leads performances are unmistakably funny.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 3, 2020

Blockers is able to be a fun teen comedy and an Apatow-style arrested development adult comedy at the same time. It works.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 10, 2020

Blockers is a welcome addition to the teen sex comedy genre, and a far cry from the days of American Pie and Varsity Blues.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 7, 2020

What a relief female filmmaker Kay Cannon hit this one out of the park, and how nice the writers and producers, who were all men, realized they should have a female voice at the helm.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2019

["Blockers"] lacks sophistication. It treads down the path of gross-out comedies that want to outdo the previous one.

| Oct 17, 2019

This is a sexy, gross take on the relationships of parents and kids as they grow up and out. It could have been very sappy and trite, but it is neither because it is smartly written and directed.

| Aug 7, 2019

Nevertheless, at a brisk 102 minutes, which flies by thanks to the bulk of the action being set around a single night, a solid gag rate and immensely likeable cast, this is a funny and surprisingly moving treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2019

There are some issues like the pacing and the way that the emotional elements work in and sometimes the jokes don't always land, but the good parts are really good.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 2, 2019

It all starts going downhill around the time Jon Cena drinks beer through his butt. Until then, Blockers is a rather savvy and -- if you squint really hard -- even subversive comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 21, 2019
