Comedy When three parents stumble upon their daughters' pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal.

	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"If the parents in 'Blockers' are the film’s prime comic spark plugs, the actresses playing the three young heroines have a witty style all their own. [It] is sure to be a major hit."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A guffaw-stuffed comedy. (...) A riotous sex comedy in which the oldsters get as much attention as the kids."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It is undeniably funny (...) It’s the kind of comedy one could stumble upon late at night on HBO and thoroughly enjoy, but it strains under the weight of its tonal inconsistencies in a movie theater (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Cannon’s first feature stands out because the genre has so rarely received a woman’s touch (...) There’s an innocence to this premise that lends freshness to every vulgar turn."	POS
United States	Joanna Robinson Vanity Fair	"A film that reflects a much more contemporary, sex-positive experience (...) [It] treats all three of these young women with enormous respect while never once losing its sense of humor."	POS
United States	April Wolfe The Wrap	"It’s the little, almost imperceptible twists to the story that make 'Blockers' a worthy entry into the teen sex comedy canon"	POS
United States	Laura Prudom IGN	"A blunt and bawdy teen comedy (...) An original and overdue addition to the genre."	POS
United States	Britt Hayes Screen Crush	"A funny, smart, and totally heartfelt comedy that is impressively conceived from top to bottom (...) [It] finally gives young women the teen sex comedy they deserve (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Monica Castillo The Guardian	"Despite an element of gross bodily fluid-laden gags, 'Blockers' manages to be heartfelt and endearing – even if the film’s message is sometimes heavy handed (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
