Making her directorial debut, Kay Cannon (writer of the Pitch Perfect series), along with the producers of Neighbors and This Is the End, bring laugh-out-loud moments in the outrageous comedy BLOCKERS. When three parents (Cena, Mann and Barinholtz) stumble upon their daughters' pact to lose their virginity at prom, they launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens from sealing the deal. BLOCKERS also features teenage newcomers led by rising actress, Kathryn Newton (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Big Little Lies), Geraldine Viswanathan (EMO The Muscial), Gideon Adlon ("American Crime," "Girl Meets World"), Graham Phillips ("Riverdale," "The Good Wife"), Miles Robbins ("Mozart in the Jungle") and Jimmy Bellinger ("The Middle"). Also joining in on the fun are comedic supporting cast members Gary Cole ("Veep," Office Space), Gina Gershon ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine"), Hannibal Buress ("Broad City," Neighbors 2), Colton Dunn ("Key and Peele," "Superstore") and June Diane Raphael ("Grace and Frankie," "New Girl").

BONUS FEATURES:

  • Deleted Scenes
  • Gag Reel – The entire cast contributes to these on-set flubs.
  • Line-O-Rama – The laughs continue after the take!
  • Rescue Mission – Being a parent isn't easy, as Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz, and John Cena make abundantly clear. Hear them and director Kay Cannon discuss parental mistakes and lessons learned. They even top it off with a good old-fashioned car explosion!
  • Prom Night – Filmmakers and cast discuss how they achieved the perfect prom look and also share some of their own personal prom stories.
  • The History of Sex with Ike Barinholtz – Ike Barinholtz explains the origins of human sexuality and its evolution through time.
  • John Cena's Prom Survival Kit for Parents – John Cena shows off a survival kit filled with items that will help parents survive the most stressful time of year - prom season!
  • Chug! Chug! Chug! – The film introduced the world to the concept of "butt chugging." Hear cast, crew, and butt-chugger John Cena discuss how they handled this standout scene.
  • Puke-a-Palooza – One memorable scene involves copious amounts of projectile vomit. See what cast, filmmakers, and crew went through to make sure the puke was as authentic as possible.
