Summary
- John Cena stars in 2018 comedy Blockers before Peacemaker
- Blockers follows overprotective parents trying to stop teen sex pact
- Film has 84% critics' score but 51% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes
In 2025, John Cena's recent leading role in the DCU superhero series Peacemaker has earned him widespread acclaim. However, prior to his breakout as the morally complex anti-hero, Cena had been part of several other film and TV projects, including the 2018 comedy Blockers.
Directed by Kay Cannon, Blockers tells the story of three overprotective parents - Lisa, Mitchelle, and Hunter - who discover that their teenage daughters have made a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Panicked and determined to stop them, the trio embarks on a wild, chaotic night filled with hilarious misadventures, heartfelt moments, and surprising lessons about growing up, trust, and letting go.
The film, which also stars Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz, currently holds an 84% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the site's consensus praising its "gender-swapped spin on the teen sex comedy" and "surprisingly enlightened perspective." However, the audience score is noticeably lower at 51%.
In comparison, Cena's more recent action-comedy Heads of State, co-starring Idris Elba and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, earned a 68% critics' score but a higher 70% audience rating on the review aggregation website.
