Bret's 12 Favorite Things of 20183 of 12
Females (Finally) at the Center of a High-School Sex Comedy
Besides John Cena and Leslie Mann's playful on-screen chemistry in their portrayal of well-meaning but totally emotionally clumsy parents, the biggest delight of Kay Cannon's Blockers is that adolescent females finally got to serve as the protagonists of a high-school sex comedy, without sacrificing any of their intelligence or their own choices. Updating American Pie for Generation Z, the movie introduces Kathryn Newton, Gideon Adlon, and Geraldine Viswanathan as quip-a-minute, uncompromising, and morally malleable teenagers who make the joy and anguish of adolescence feel exhilarating.
