MoviePass Vacation - Episode 4 - Blockers
April 10th, 2018 @ Regal Manor Stadium 16 in Lancaster, PA - $13.40 for a normal ticket
MoviePass Investment - $89.50. Total Savings - $50.45. Overall ROI. -$39.05
While the last movie I saw (A Quiet Place) was a well-executed take on a great concept, Blockers is actually a great take on a terrible concept. It's also a terrible name for a movie, starring a cast of characters typically known for smaller supporting roles, supported by whole lot of unknowns. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed this movie considering how little the trailer did for me.
The fact that Blockers opens with one of my favorite Dr. Dog songs playing immediately set me up to like the film, and it was followed by enough solid early jokes to forgive the unbelievably stupid premise of parents hell-bent on cock-blocking their kids on prom night.
Sprinkled with small, smart jokes throughout, there are also a few downright hilarious scenes, and it's always fun to see a great comedy in a theater. Newcomer Geraldine Viswanathan steals the show as far as the kids go. I'll see pretty much any comedy, and this one really surprised me.
Overall Rating - B+
