NEWCASTLE - Indo-Australian actress Geraldine Viswanathan will be seen opposite WWE superstar John Cena in "Blockers," a new R-rated comedy about teen sexuality, parental anxieties and consent. The film opened April 6. "Blockers" had its premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

The LA Times wrote that Viswanathan and Cena together create an outrageous comedy with "a relatable parent-child dynamic. 

The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Viswanathan shines as Kayla, the all-American star athlete whose confidence leads a trio of teenagers (including Kathryn Newton and Gideon Adlon) into every overprotective parent's worst nightmare: a sex pact to lose their virginity on prom night.”

The LA Times wrote that Viswanathan and Cena together create an outrageous comedy with "a relatable parent-child dynamic. Cena is the perennial dad-coach training his daughter to be strong and confident in sports terms, the only language he knows, and Viswanathan is a self-possessed young woman developing a curiosity for life experiences beyond the goal posts."
