Blockers

If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would enjoy a movie where John Cena butt chugs a beer, I would have been shocked that you made such a specific accusation, but then probably agreed with you. Aside from its moments of corniness and absurdity, Blockers accomplished its goal of getting a few good laughs out of me. The coming of age plot hidden behind our adult protagonists was charming.

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.

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

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.

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!
