    In "Blockers," a parental trio (Cena, Mann, and Barinholtz) will do anyting to foil their daughters' prom night sex pack. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include commentary with Director Kay Cannon; three deleted scenes (HD 02:34); a gag reel (HD 02:39); Line-O-Rama (HD 07:26); six featurettes: "Rescue Mission" (HD 05:14), "Prom Night" (HD 06:37), "The History Of Sex With Ike Barinholtz" (HD 02:06), "John Cena's Prom Survival Kit For Parents" (HD 02:35), "Chug! Chug! Chug!" (HD 03:20), and "Puke-A-Palooza" (HD 02:02); upfront previews; and a Movies Anywhere digital copy.

    The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally in Panavision® using the Arri Alexa Mini and Arri Alexa XT camera systems and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture is generally good. The color palette is nicely saturated with strong hues that often pop, yet fleshtones retain their naturalness throughout. Resolution is also good, with well-defined facial features, hair, stubble, interiors (including the limo), object textures, and set pieces. Contrast is good, exhibiting excellent black levels, both during nighttime exteriors or low-light interiors, with revealing good detail. Highlights are effectively bright and natural in appearance. This is a bright, visually attractive picture that works well to convey the story. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack sounds good, with a lively music score that occupies a wide soundstage and surround balance. The music is enhanced with a strong low-end presence. Party and prom scenes are supported with a range of effective sound elements as atmospherics and sound effects. The sound is evenly presented without a generally wide dynamic range. Dialogue is intelligible and generally integrated spatially well. Sound quality is good throughout, making the sonic elements nicely integrated and effective. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
