What the Critics say

Cape Argus / The Star
Mpho Rantao quote iconParents heated over hanky panky.

Gabi Zietsman quote iconBlockers is a surprisingly realistic, without the exploding shenanigans, take on sex that somehow manages to be feminist while still falling perfectly into a genre that for decades has been defined by toxic masculinity and objectification of women for laughs. It retains strong femininity without putting down anyone’s identification with gender, and on the way makes your insides burst with laughter, even with throwaway lines that just fly under the radar. If this movie doesn’t make you LOL in real life, then you’re doing comedy wrong.

T. Durgin quote iconIt is a VERY enjoyable, albeit quite profane, sex comedy.

Tomatometer quote iconBlockers puts a gender-swapped spin on the teen sex comedy -- one elevated by strong performances, a smartly funny script, and a surprisingly enlightened perspective.
