15 Insanely Awesome 2018 Movie One Liners

5. "Have You Seen Inferno?" - Blockers

Ike Barinholtz gave a show-stealing performance in this surprisingly smart sex comedy, playing one of the three over-protective parents desperate to stop their kids entering into a sex pact.

Once the trio first deciphers their kids' coded emoji messages where they commit to the pact, Barinholtz's Hunter professes a love for puzzles and also the (terrible) Tom Hanks movie Inferno.

Cue Hunter relentlessly asking Lisa (Leslie Mann) and Mitchell (John Cena) if they've seen Inferno while they complete ignore him and try to phone their kids.

It's such a random reference to make in a 2018 movie, because even though Inferno was only released in late 2016, does anyone actually remember watching that movie?

Plus, it's exactly the sort of trashy nonsense a guy like Hunter would take seriously and enjoy in a totally unironic way. Brilliant.
