Last night, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored some of the most prestigious films of the year. Today, we have a trailer for “Blockers” about parents who are determined to stop their kids from having sex on prom night. Let’s just say that Hollywood knows which kinds of movies keep the lights on.
Starring Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz, John Cena, Kathryn Newton, Geraldine Indira Viswanathan, and Gideon Adlan, and co-produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, this movie took five credited screenwriters (all dudes) to mash out a script about anxious parents, who are so worried about their daughters having sex, they try to stop it from it happening. That doesn’t seem like particularly healthy parenting, but I don’t have kids, so what do I know. Here’s the official synopsis, which only needs a single sentence:
When three parents discover their daughters’ pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal.
Directed by Kay Cannon, “Blockers” opens on April 6th.
