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
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.
Blockers is a relatively newer R rated comedy, released in 2018 and having making somewhat of a profit (although perhaps the studios thought it would be bigger). The comedy in this film is as in which we have seen before, from these type of teen sex comedies. A lot of jokes were quite predictable and just weren't funny. The premise is good decent as it is gender opposite and makes sense in a way, but overall the comedy just wasn't funny.
The cast was good, John Cena as the over protective father was perhaps the highlight. Other than that, the film is predictable in the end, with somewhat of a sequel type ending. However, this film probably won't end up getting a sequel due to it not being that big of a success. And perhaps its for the best.

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 is simply not funny and a complete drag. Disappointed this counts for entertainment these days.
Did you know
- TriviaThe original script was titled "Cherries" and features three fathers as the leads. Leslie Mann's character was later changed to a mother.
- GoofsWhen Lisa walks into the hotel room, she sits on a bed with rose petals arranged on it in a heart formation. Some of the petals move when she sits down, but in the next shot they are rearranged as though they hadn't moved at all. This happens a few times in different shots throughout the scene.
- Crazy creditsThere is a very brief scene in the closing credits.
- Alternate versionsIn Singapore, the film was originally passed with an R21 classification due to the film's sexual content and nudity. However the distributors were unsatisfied with this rating and opted to re-edit the film in order to obtain the more commercially lucrative M18 rating; the aforementioned cut removes a brief, close-up depiction of a hand squeezing a man's scrotum, as part of a couple's act of foreplay.
