Reviews & comments
Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
flicksIt’s always concerning when an older person starts making an observation about “millennials”. This is a movie by a bunch of older people that’s mostly about young folk and it has a lot of that same sort of unfortunate cringe. Even the trailer centres on a teen conversation told entirely in emojis that nobody has ever had ever, but maybe some grandpa thinks is how these danged millennials communicate.
Variety
pressBlockers isn’t really about these girls losing their virginity. It’s about how they seize control of their destinies, one triumphantly lewd zinger at a time.
Vanity Fair
pressA film that reflects a much more contemporary, sex-positive experience - and one that lets everyone laugh, in grand gross-out humour fashion, at the same time.
Total Film
pressNot in the Bridesmaids league but a very funny female-centric comedy with big laughs and spot-on attitudes.
The Guardian
pressDespite 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.
Sydney Morning Herald
pressA movie which portrays sex either as worrying and disgusting, or as a rite of passage best approached in a sober, responsible way.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIt plays to the strengths of its performers, from screen novices to the comic vet of the cast, Leslie Mann, who may never have had this good a showcase.

pressBlockers falls short of being modern comedy classic, but it’s still a good time.
