Blockers (2018) Online

Blockers is a film that I personally looking forward to a bunch. The trailers completely sold me on this idea of a hard R, raunchy comedy that was original, heartfelt, and delivered some dang good laughs too!

Unfortunately, all the stuff you heard that was funny in the trailer is either not funny because you've heard it all before or it's cut out of the movie entirely.

So don't see Blockers. It's a painfully unfunny crude-fest that delivers crap humor, no emotion, disney-channel acting, and a worthless story. The only good things about it are the three daughters and one of their dates.

Giving this one a generous C- or on Imdb, a 5/10

Blockers takes every possible annoying aspect in American comedy and amplify's it to the point of maximum uncomfortably, resulting in an almost 2 hour sluggish, unfunny, disappointing comedy that completely misses it's mark in both humor and heart.

This was easily the worst comedy or movie I have ever seen. I'm not offended by vulgarity, Horrible Bosses was brilliant, this wasn't...period. Don't waste your money on this crap!

This movie was a good, generic crude slapstick comedy for about an hour, but ran out of jokes and fell painfully flat at the end. Sacrificed comedy and screenwriting to push a political message for nearly a third of the movie. Tried to be inspiring instead of funny, and just turned out to be annoying. Don't pay money to watch this. Watch once it's out on DVD if you're bored and easily amused.

Once again I paid money to see a movie that's just like the 30 before it. Don't waste your money

I cannot believe that this POS made to the theaters.

It has no absolutely no plot to speak of. Script seems as if it was written by a 6th grader just getting his first "woody" and was fantasizing.



Watching paint dry would have been more exciting

I don´t understand why comedies are so bad this days. These Directors should learn about 80´s comedies. They were so diverse, funny and not all relied on sex and drugs. A lot of them were comedies where you could watch with your family. Now it´s all about cheap jokes, sex and drugs and so many good actors/actresses wasted in these so called comedies. We need real family comedies as times get darker nowadays and most movies have darker tones.

A comedy with a rather interesting title "There Will not Be Sex !!!" was released in our country at a time when most pupils finish school and prepare for graduation balls. Perhaps this was the right decision, and although the film has already collected a good cash register, it seems that it could have been more, it would have come out in May. But what has already been done can not be corrected, therefore we will look at what is already available. A very carbon monster turned out to be enough for me to watch this movie.

In fact, this is another story of the relationship between parents and their children, in this case daughters. Only this time, attention is focused on a very piquant topic - before the prom night, adult males are already deciding to end virginity and, at all costs, start their first sex in their lives. And it all started with the fact that one of them, going to a party, just forgot to close her laptop, and unsuspecting parents "accidentally" saw the correspondence of the heroines. And then it raced ... They begin to chase their daughters, so as not to let them carry out their plans. The catch is that it is difficult for any one of them to blame something, because each parent has his own problems. The first is excessively caring, the second is a single mother, the third is divorced. They do not yet fully realize that children have grown up, and are not ready to let them go free swimming. Daughters also do not have everything smoothly: they suffer from too much attention of parents, in addition, one of them understands that in the so-called "sex pact" she is purely formal, and so far she can not decide with whom she wants to build relationships.

Each actor turned out to be a special character, and they coped very well. Leslie Mann embodied the ideal single mother, John Sina - a sport-obsessed but very emotional person, Hayk Barinholtz - the most clockwork and one of the most soberly assessing the situation of the parents. Actresses who played maturing daughters, also performed well: they did not overplay and did not play bad.

For the most part, the jokes sounded and shown in the film were vulgar and even too vulgar, but periodically they were diluted with a rather witty humor. A very pleasant addition was the extremely funny scene after the beginning of the credits.

"There will not be sex !!!" - this is a classic American comedy of the category "18+", at the proper level raising the issue of growing up and sexual becoming a person. Will go to view.

I'll be honest, I knew about this movie months in advance, and the preview made it look terrible. Then, on top of this, whenever I watched tv, ads for this movie would run during the commercials, and they were insufferable. I thought this movie was going to be absolute garbage(because that's what the previews made it out to be) and was kind of annoyed when my friends picked this of all movies to see. The theatre was almost empty, even though it was only day 2 of it being out. I'm guessing everyone else saw the ads and decided not to see it.

Anyway, to my utmost surprise, the movie actually turned out to be quite decent. I laughed throughout the movie. And it actually did have somewhat of a plot, and it was original humour, as opposed to the cheap sex and weed jokes that I expected it to be from watching the previews.

It's a shame. I feel that because they ran so many terrible ads for this movie that a lot of people will never get to experience this movie.

One of the worst movies I've sat through. Not that I was expecting to come out more virtuous, but the things they do in this movie are way over the line. Parent under a bed while teen is about to have sex. A teen that bakes drugs into macaroons and everyone laughs about it. One kid making a joke that he almost died from one of creations. This is just a really awful movie.

After all the recent Oscar winners I have been watching, Blockers was a welcome break. I had expected it to be really cheesy and a bit vulgar (and it was!) but it had some surprises and made me laugh! I had a really good time.

The parents were a hoot, and in character, John Cena and Leslie Mann were both really funny. I think the dialogue between girls could have been a bit more realistic. It felt contrived. Like guys writing for girls and how they think...since the script was written by 2 guys, that makes sense.

A fun movie to watch, even though a bit unrealistic!

This movie was very predictable and overall was a waste of time.

This could be the worst "comedy" I have ever seen. The writers threw every stupid gag and joke in the book at this stupid story and still came up empty. You might get a couple of laughs out of it but only because you become desperate to laugh at anything. Don't waste your time or money.

This was an unfunny and pointless movie. The trailer basically shows everything you need to see. Very low brow sex and toilet based humor. I don't mind dirty jokes or tasteless comedy (like the first American Pie etc) but when there is nothing really to it from the story side and also no big laughs to be had I think the movie is pointless. Sad to say that is the case here. A really boring and terrible movie. If you go watch it make sure you are drunk or high since they seemed to be the only people in the theater who had a good time sitting through this.

Juvenile, vulgar, make teen sex appear to be the thing to do. What a waste of time and money. DO NOT GO.

Let me not waste many words. Its one of the worst movies I have seen over the last two years.

Seriously - this is an absolute shocker. No redeeming features, not even a half decent joke in 100min comedy. I tried, I really really did, probably far harder than the writers.

Wow. How someone professional can write such turgid dross? How can actors be paid so well yet not bother? Well, that is kind of excusable, given the terrible script. However the professional wrestler is the only one who is able to act in this, and even he is so saddled with poor script and bizarre action and decisions that even he does not come across as a real person.

The only reason this gets good reviews from the pros is that it injects hard-left, feminist rhetoric that they agree with into the dialogue, which jars, it doesn't fit in unless the characters are utter political boors, who would be tedious to actually spend any real time with.

Not funny, cringy, seems like it was made my old people who want to be "hip". It's pretty annoying how bad the jokes are really. I know it's a comedy but no one in this film acts like a actual human being. The actress who plays Julie is hot tho.

Blockers is one of the funniest and best comedies in years. I want to get that statement out of the way first.

Three girls who have been best friends since elementary school agree to each have sex with their dates on prom night. Their parents catch wind of the plan and decide that they must stop this from happening. They play the role of blockers.

That's really all you need to know about the plot. This movie is fueled by the characters, all of which are more layered than they first seem. Look out for Ike Barinholtz's moment in the third act. And John Cena's. And Leslie Mann's. Heck, every featured character has at least one impressive dramatic moment.

But let's be clear-this is a comedy. Several scenes in this movie had me absolutely cracking up, and I was far from the only viewer laughing that hard. One guy started wheezing and even exclaimed, "oh man, this is too much; I can't breathe!" Then the crowd laughed even more. All of this uproarious laughter from a movie that contains no comedy stars. It's rare.

Btw, I have nothing but love for Leslie Mann (a comedy standout, not quite a star) and John Cena (a star, perhaps, but not yet for his comedy).

Then I realized something. There are comedy stars in this movie. They just haven't become stars yet. What I'm saying is, remember the names and faces from this movie, especially the three daughters. In a few years you will look back and see this as their breakout moment.

In addition to the humor, which is abundant, this movie has quite a bit of heart. That's what takes it up a level. Each parent-daughter relationship feels real and lived in. This helps viewers who are not already parents themselves understand what these parents are going through.

When one daughter asks why sex is so bad (a totally reasonable question), her dad stammers for a moment, then says he doesn't know. It's tough to explain. The movie wisely doesn't take this conversation any further. If it had, the conversation would have become preachy. Her dad has an answer, but it's a long, complicated and messy one. The scene (and the movie) works better without attempting to provide this messy explanation.

That's a line that the writers walk carefully and successfully. They say just enough to provide both sides of thought on why the parents want so desperately to stop their daughters. Are they wrong to manically chase their daughters down? Well, yeah. Are they wrong to want to protect them? Not at all.

That's what this blocking attempt is really about. Protecting their daughters. To the parents, sex is a step into adulthood and all its problems. They just want their daughters to stay safe and innocent as long as they can.

It's a warm message that works because it never patronizes viewers. This movie is much smarter than it looks in the trailer. I certainly didn't expect to laugh this much, think this much, or feel a lump in my throat when I saw promos for Blockers. But I did. And now I'm giving it a strong recommendation.

Go see Blockers. It's a hilarious story that also manages to make you care.

Oh look my daughters want some sex and drugs! I mean It's okay to have your freedom to do what you please. I get it, we all need pleasure. But the sex stuff became so overboard and I was saying to myself, What am I watching? Porn? You know you have the right for your to privacy, but this is declared disgusting and cringe worthy. It's funny but doesn't pertain to me at all. I don't know but I feel this movie disrespects the younger generation and makes it more like idiots. In which reality they are not.

This movie was sickening, perverted comedy with sick humor. Teenagers protrayed as sex objects this movie should had never made it to the big screen. Only in America will we condone this type of behavior in our society. WOW!!

Honestly, I went to see this movie to kill some time. To see a bit of a mindless, sophomoric, escapism comedy. And although it did have these things and some jokes didn't land as well as others, it was so much more than that. There some pretty funny moments, several unexpected funny moments that caught me by surprise, and a whole lot of heart that actually built character and moved the plot forward more than I expected. It was still a comedy at heart, but there were some sincere, touching moments that helped the film instead of hindering it. It masterfully touches on parenting today and what it means to be an independent person as you mature as a young adult in both in your sexuality and in other ways. I'd say more of a 7.5/10 but as far as I know can only rate in full numbers

There's a lot of great stuff here. Other than great performances from the main cast, Gary Cole is a special treat. However, there's a weird tension between the cliché premise of overbearing parents and a modern message about sex positivity and feminism that never feels resolved. This is compounded by really weak and banal "sweet" parent-daughter moments that tie things up a bit too quickly and neatly. It's still an above average comedy in the end.

I went into this knowing nothing about the movie beyond the poster and maybe the logline. Based on that, I was expecting it to be a comedy that either tried too hard to be funny and had no story or would consist of LCD (lowest common denominator) jokes that have been overused in a bunch of comedies already. I was not expecting to actually laugh at anything, and both of my friends that I saw it with had similarly low expectations, but thankfully we were all proven wrong. "Blockers" essentially combines the premise of "American Pie" with the style of "Superbad" and fits it well into a modern high school context. It's something we've seen a bunch of times before in high school movies: the kids want to have sex and the parents do their best to "block" them. Hardly a new premise, but the movie does a great job creating some original, character-driven jokes that do a good job making light of how parents-teenager dynamics work in a modern context. There are a lot of elements and jokes that center around emoji language and texting conventions, and they are executed in a way that actually feels realistic instead of just getting thrown in haphazardly to try to appeal to younger audiences. There are a lot of good one-liners along with some visual comedy that adds a good variety. Even though I was sort of expecting some over-the-top situational comedy, there were several scenes that had surprising reversals in them. There were some attempts at a couple of light themes to give the movie heart. On an emotional level, the parents are all trying to connect with their kids, and while it was good that the movie tried to make itself more than a raunchy comedy, this theme was handled in a fairly standard and even cliched way. There was also a little bit of a social statement about how people in general and parents especially view girls losing their virginity as this kind of horrific loss of innocence whereas it's not as big of a deal for boys. It wasn't really a theme so much as an argument that a couple of characters made. For spoiler reasons, I won't go into detail, but the movie is careful not to take a definite stance on whether teenagers having sex is okay. The characters are not totally original, but most of them are fun to watch. The three girls are all fairly different. I didn't totally buy that they were close friends, but they at least had a good contrast of personalities and were distinct. The only real problem that I had with the teenager characters was the portrayal of Sam as a lesbian. She wasn't a bad character, but the way they handled her being a lesbian just felt obsolete; not exactly offensive but it didn't feel very socially conscious. The parents are given more attention and definitely generate more laughs as they try and fail to control their kids. All of them are given a good amount of attention and provide a lot of laughs for the audience with none really out-shining the others. I would somewhat recommend this. It won't be the funniest movie you've ever seen, but the audience in my theater was laughing throughout the movie. It's nothing revolutionary or new, but it can make for a good study break with some friends if you're in the mood. Overall Rating: 7.2/10.
