Critics Consensus

Blockers puts a gender-swapped spin on the teen sex comedy -- one elevated by strong performances, a smartly funny script, and a surprisingly enlightened perspective.

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

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

A lot of the credit for Blockers turning the regressive tropes of the raunchy comedy genre on their head goes to director Kay Cannon...

Rated: A

Blockers reminds us, albeit comically, that socially and culturally, we have a long way to go when judging boys and girl equally, sexually.

Rated: 2.5/4

…If Superbad was about how difficult it is to cause mischief, Blockers is much more interested in the suppressive efforts of the parents than the teenagers themselves…an easy watch, full of crude slapstick, but with it’s heart in the right place…

Rated: 3/5

The premise had a lot of promise, but aside from a couple laughs this movie was just bad. Really disappointed. A good comedy is hard to come by these days. It's shocking that this movie was reviewed well by the critics. I guess they get a lot of points from the critics on progressiveness, but that doesn't make it a good movie.

Hilarious. Leslie Mann always cracks me up. Ike Barinholtz and her were funny. Leslie Mann is my girl. I love her long crazy joke monologs that are her spiraling. I've adored her since the 90s, she's the one, George of the jungle. Not for everyone...Some crazy, over the top sexual, naughty content. I think it was well executed, the jokes landed for me. John Cena is not a good actor, his scenes were funny enough that I was able to see past it. 2013 John Cena was not a good actor. Prbly not in 2024 either...but Jim Carrey was not more than a comedian for a very long time. Time and acting classes go a long way. (Love u Jim) I read a lot of references to American Pie, omg this is absolutely not that. AP is dirty just to be shocking, don't get me wrong, 23 yr old me laughed a lot, 40 yr old me, eh. For me, some jokes are just too much. Also the treatment of women as sex objects, and relying too heavy on female nudity just to reinforce those ideas. Without that, I would like it more now for sure. Aging has that effect on how you view things. But I liked Blockers a lot even at 40. There are jokes I am still laughing about. I don't understand the hate, but love for movies like Anchor Man, Dumb and Dumber, A.p, Van Wilder, a scary movie series, The Hangover, Knocked up, Superbad, Zack and Miri make a porno,...let's go further back..Ace Ventura etc. Those are all stupid. Yet sometimes funny. This is that.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This movie made me want to scroll on my phone. The jokes are low hanging fruit. Nothing unique. Pointless plotline. You'll get more from Spongebob than this movie can offer.
