Contrôle parental

A trio of desperate parents have just discovered that their daughters want to try sex at the prom in addition to alcohol and light drugs. And they must stop them at all costs. In the end, however, they may find out that the problem is not their children, but themselves... Blockers is a hilarious comedy that functionally alternates humorous scenes with more serious and mature ones. Fortunately, the humour prevails and if it weren't for a few unnecessarily overdone scenes, it could have been even better. Still, it's surprisingly very enjoyable. (26/07/2018)

This time, the quality of the film corresponds to the quality of the Czech title - a tacky and not very imaginative spectacle, and although at times it makes you laugh, the good jokes are few. And there are body fluids, of course. I was watching because of Geraldine Viswanathan, who is great (and I hope Marvel uses her for the role of Kamala Khan if one day it is actually made) and people can envy her comedic talent, but I was also pleasantly surprised by Gideon Adlon. As for the adult actors, Leslie Mann was a safe bet, because she can tell even a weak joke quite magically, but no one else has impressed me - perhaps only John Cena is interesting in how absolute of a non-actor he is and how he and anyone else are apparently not bothered by it in the slightest.

Nobody expected this comedy to be a success, but the first positive reactions made an impression and it's actually a very nice teen flick, where instead of boys, girls want to have their first fling and their parents will definitely not be happy about it. The best thing is John Cena, who is on a very slow but direct climb to stardom and I wouldn't be surprised if he's competition for The Rock in a few years. There are quite a few funny situations, especially in the second half – the first one lags a bit. But I'll give 4 stars with pleasure. 75%. (28/06/2018)

I would completely disregard the rest of reviews here. It was probably written by a bunch of people who were not in the mood for a comedy at a time when they watched a comedy. The Blockers is awesome. Sure, they are politically incorrect already by its premise. Who of the recently legal aged would want to have parents who spy on them at prom and try to prevent them from having sex? And once they learn about it, what child would still talk to them? Sure, I admit, all of that is messed up…but the rest? It’s just hilarious. And I hope John Cena will land more roles like that. I’ve really seen in him that kind of comedy action hero of the present time that I miss so damn much after Arnold Schwarzenegger. (14/07/2018)

It wasn't nearly as bad as my rating makes it look. I did have some good laughs and enjoyed the film. The problem was that my good mood was ruined every now and then by cringeworthy moments and failed attempts at jokes. If it weren't for that, it would have been worth four stars. I don’t think this is your standard teen comedy, the half-crazy parents give it a whole new level. I had fun watching - 3*+. (03/09/2018)
