Welcome back to my blog. Here’s my recommendation of a movie to check out today and hope you punch your “Ticket to the Movies!” OK, let’s go back to the best genre in cinema: The raunchy comedy with “Blockers,” which earned a seat at the raunchy table with, among others, the butt-chugging scene. Yes, it fits a context nicely (no pun intended)!
Here’s a paragraph straight from my review: “You might as well call ‘Blockers’ a poor man’s ‘American Pie’ (click here for my look at the franchise). Its cast isn’t as good with a poor man’s Dwayne Johnson in the form of (John) Cena; the story is a notch or two down but has strength because it does deliver a nice twist of focusing on the parents; and it doesn’t overcome the obvious stereotypes with the verve of “American Pie,” but still manages not to wallow in mediocrity. However, none of that is heavy criticism, since “American Pie” is a raunch-comedy classic.”
“Blockers” is the story of a group of parents who work to prevent their daughters from having sex on high school pom night. The title of “Blockers” is obviously missing a single first word that would have pretty much immediately made sure that it couldn’t be released in 75 percent of the countries on Earth. However, an inference is obviously acceptable.
“Blockers” doesn’t have an A-list cast, at best they’re a B- cast, but, still, they get the job done from the youngsters to the parents. One nice thing is that of the three female actors in high school, the oldest was 22 at filming. It’s good because you all too often get someone in their late 20s or even early 30s as a high school student.
The cast of “Blockers” is headed by Leslie Mann and Cena and the youngsters as well as most parents are certainly B-listers along with Mann and Cena. However, Gary Cole and Gina Gershon play parents to another child and they are totally and unabashedly oversexed and provide a show for the three main parents through a window and then in a nude blindfold scene.
So, I say punch your “Ticket to the Movies!” and watch “Blockers.” It is available on several subscription services or to rent or buy on a variety of streaming services. You will thank me later for “Blockers.”
