Synopsis

Recently divorced mom Lauren and widowed dad Jim let their friends push them into a blind date, which goes disastrously wrong. Unsurprisingly, neither wants to see the other ever again. However, fate intervenes when both Jim and Lauren, unbeknownst to each other, purchase one-half of the same vacation package at a South African resort for families, during spring break. They and their children are forced to share the same romantic suite and participate in a slew of family activities together.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
x-nikki-xx I'll give it to you straight. Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore's acting is fine. They're always pretty great at their roles. However, my goodness, the writers truly ruined it. The best part about a film is the unraveling of the characters but the writers just added in unnecessary comments or things that really didn't need to be in there to show character development. It's the old saying from high school English class, "show don't tell." All they did was tell. So many words, not enough showing, and let me remind you this is a movie. On top of that the kids in the movie unfortunately couldn't act. It's a shame, with a better/more writers, a little revising from producing, and a different cast of kids, the film could have been a hit.
charlesvine-75968 I had never been much of an Adam Sandler film fan. Most of his earlier films seemed sophomoric and I didn't care for them. Blended, however, is pretty well done.There appears to be an on screen chemistry between Sandler and Drew Barrymore, although she has vehemently denied it. The story line, while humorous, has a romantic appeal to it. Two people who don't like each other at all, come together at the end with the help of their children.I was especially impressed with the performance by a young Bella Thorne. I hadn't seen her before.
areatw 'Blended' is a generic, stale comedy that is almost identical to every other generic, stale comedy that Sandler has done. The plot might be different but it's still the same dumb humour and jokes that we've seen umpteen times before. You would have thought that an African safari trip would have made 'Blended' more appealing, but somehow it still manages to be totally uninspiring, verging on boring, despite the huge amount of potential with such a storyline. There are dumb jokes aplenty, most aren't funny, but they will probably keep the average viewer entertained.Unless you're Adam Sandler's biggest fan, there's little point watching 'Blended'. Generic comedies are everywhere you look at the moment, and this is one we could have all done without.
Steve-Zoicks I read most of the Movie Critics comments and almost decided not to watch it. I am glad I did watch it. Was it Adam Sandlers most comedic movie. No, but haters will be haters. It is so easy to look and highlight all the negative components, but this was an incredible movie that highlighted the fact that for life to be great, there must be two sides to the coin, a positive and negative, the yin and the Yan. What a great movie and a clever named show of blended. Harmony comes from the blending of our goals, thoughts and live rather than the preconceived ideas we are taught or are in grown by society. Adam and Drew created that perfect harmony that shows that we believe we need, or we think our kids need is not real. That we must learn to give and create opportunities that allow us to be us. I so recommend this movie for every person, dad, mom, son, daughter and for every person who feels alone. It put a smile on my face and a beat back into my heart. Blended. That will be the word of the month.
