Blockers’ is your usual American comedy with heavy drinking, sex, and crude slapstick throughout. However, at the very core of the movie, it has heart and some tender moments, which surprised me the most. John Cena plays the hunky father who is soft at heart. So soft in fact that he would not hurt a fly, because he will probably be afraid of it. It is a nice change of pace from the other roles he has played in the past.

This is essentially a gender-swapped version of Superbad - but instead of the standout actors being the teens, it's the adults (John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz) who truly carry this picture. The film has some excellent moments, but, overall, is simply just mildly amusing. Still, if you're up from some raunchy fun - this will certainly scratch that itch.

"Blockers" is a good-spirited sex comedy, but one that's too strained to really work.

This raucous romp about 3 worrisome parents trying to stop their respective daughters from losing their virginity on prom night has some laughs. But quite a lot of just plain ordinary gross-out humor too. The comedic center-piece being John Cena participating in a butt-chugging competition. To the film's credit, the three adult leads (Cena, Mann, and Barinholtz) are funny together and are responsible for the intermittent laughs.

Blockers -- the story of 3 loving but insane and emotional parents who follow their daughters around on prom night to try to stop them from losing their virginity -- is one of the finest, funniest comedies to be released in 2019. It's the camradery between the 3 parents, played wonderfully by John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz, that really make this film and give it the energy, charm, wackiness and genuine hilarity that it has.
