Julie, Kayla and Sam are three high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Lisa, Mitchell and Hunter are three overprotective parents who flip out when they find out about their daughters' plans. They soon join forces for a wild and chaotic quest to stop the girls from sealing the deal -- no matter what the cost.

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.

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...

2.5/4

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

3/5

…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…

Blockers has a fun premise, a talented cast, and a relatable storyline that hits home for many parents of teenagers, but its absurdity might not be everyone's cup of tea. Grading: C+

Teen sex comedy from the perspective of the parents. John Cena is outstanding in his comedic role as he pretty much always is. Definitely worth watching!
