BLOCKERS (LESLIE MANN)
In BLOCKERS, three parents try messing up... or attempt to block... each
daughter from partaking in the plot of almost every 80's sex comedy,
especially LITTLE DARLINGS since this particular "lose our virginity by
the end of the movie" movie is about the girls, who all act in what's
usually the cinematic "guy minded mode," wanting it more than their
dull, reluctant dates and especially (and of course) their parents: Never has a comic-relief-within-a-comedy been as horrendously
ineffective as screwy-toothed Ike Barinholtz, whose five-o'clock shadow
hardly covers up the fact he's also terribly miscast — resembling more
of a college fraternity clown, which doesn't make it all that ironic
when he crashes a high school prom, and then a few parties: Though he's
not alone as muscular "White Dwayne Johnson" John Cena is a
realistic looking parental, getting more emotional than expected of such
a giant, while mom, played by the usually-hilarious Leslie Mann, leads
this complete disaster where instead of cocks being blocked... due to an
awkward pace, stilted one-liners and a horrible lack of chemistry
between actors... the laughter is, again and again: So avoid this Rooster — it's a real Turkey!
