Ever since the
teen film re-emerged from the days of James Dean to the coming-of-age films of
the 1980s, the genre adopted a far franker discussion of sex. Sex and teen
films often go hand-in-hand now, and after nearly three decades of movies about
teenagers losing their virginity, one would think that there is nothing new
left to discover. Some reviewers have pointed out the gender reversal of the
typical sex comedy as the defining new element of Blockers, but I actually found the inclusion of the parental
figures a far more original element of the film. Not only is the film about the
teenagers, but an equal amount of time is spent with the parents as they come
to terms with their daughters growing up, in the most haphazard and comical
ways possible.
