Blockers

Blockers is about three parents that find out about a sex pact their daughters have planned for prom night, and their struggle to stop them before it's too late.

This film has a very slow start. It was awhile before I laughed really hard at the jokes, but once they got going it was great. The middle of the movie is hilarious, and John Cena is the star of the show. Who knew John Cena had jokes?! He was definitely the funniest parent in this movie, and probably the most relatable as well. He's the father that is so completely in denial that he comes up with all other excuses, even if they don't make sense. Then, when he comes to terms with it, he's the father that will stop at nothing to save his daughter from a terrible mistake.

The end of the movie was very predictable as well. When we first hear about the sex pact plan the girls are all at lunch planning it. Two of the girls are in a relationship, but one of them isn't happy in her relationship, and the third (John Cena's daughter) just picks a random guy (who happens to be the school drug supplier). So, from the start you're thinking why would these girls have sex with random people at such a young age? Well, they don't. Not all of them at least, and I'm glad they don't. The last thing we all need is a movie telling girls in high school that it's OK to sleep with random guys you don't know. But, because of this random sex pact they come up with, you know how it's going to end.

I did enjoy the movie and I would see it again (with Movie Pass). I would not pay to see this movie twice. While it did make me laugh, it was not as funny as previous movies I've seen this year, and it didn't keep me laughing from start to end. I feel like the 6.6/10 on IMDb is a little high honestly, but the 50% on rotten tomatoes makes sense. Blockers has its good and its bad, but its still worth seeing if you are looking for a funny movie right now.
