Blockers wants to be a progressive, sex-positive comedy about letting teens grow up, but it's so aggressively vulgar that the message gets lost in a sea of butt-chugging jokes and graphic sexual scenarios. Critics ate it up (84% on RT) for flipping the teen comedy formula and centering women's sexuality without the usual male gaze, but audiences were way less impressed (51%)—probably because the constant raunch is exhausting.
The core idea is solid: three parents panic when they discover their daughters made a prom night sex pact, and hijinks ensue as they try to cockblock the evening. It's supposed to be about learning to let go, but mostly it's just... a lot. Heavy drinking, drugs, nudity, explicit everything.
If you're an adult who can appreciate a well-made R-rated comedy and you're in the mood for something aggressively crude with a tiny heart buried underneath, maybe. But despite being about teens, this is absolutely not for teens or families. It's a parents-only affair, and even then, only if you're into this brand of humor.
