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.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Definitely worth the time to watch it. These two have done a few movies together and they always have good chemistry. Sure, it's formulaic. But, they're both seasoned actors, and able to be convincingly relatable. The usual Sandler suspects populate the cast, along with a few surprises. I watched this on HBO, and was interrupted a half hour into it. I decided to watch it all the way through, from the beginning, later in the night. Glad I did.

'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.

When I say "A classic Adam Sandler film" in the summary I mean this movie is just as awful as any reasonable person may expect. The movie Blended has poorly crafted low-brow and sexual jokes "blended" throughout it's 1 hour and 57 minutes too long run time. Some people may call it heartfelt, but I call it predictable and irritating. The most heartfelt thing about this movie is how it makes me want to stab myself in the chest so that I don't have to watch it anymore.You would think that the inclusion of such hilarious and well versed stars like Terry Crews and Joel McHale would redeem some comedic value, but alas, the movie is as lame and flat with them as it would be without.Please, Don't watch this film.

After watching this movie, I thought any wonder Adam Sandler is stuck mostly doing Netflix films. He has given us some beauties in Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and The Waterboy but I think this one has to be among his worst. As soon as this film started, I could feel that it was going to be a doozy. A lot of people will just give up and not bother watching the rest of it. I am not one of those people but about 45 minutes into it, the thought did cross my mind. The film lacks a lot of things, such as no plot, hardly any humour, and forced acting. The humour in this is forced and I think at some stages, you could tell that the actors looked uncomfortable in delivering the lines. I'm looking at you, Drew Barrymore. One reason that the humour could be forced is that it seems to be aimed towards younger people. One thing this film did prove is third time is not the charm in the Sandler-Barrymore partnership, and after this, I am not looking forward to a fourth installment.Essentially, the film is about a guy who has kids and a girl who has kids and they have a chance meeting at an African resort and nothing much else seems to happen after that. Terry Crews and Shaquille O'Neal, who both cameo don't add anything to an already terrible excuse of a comedy. One more gripe I have is that the word "Blended" is used so much that the turkey is practically overcooked by the time that word is said more than twice. As if the viewing audience didn't already know the title of the movie, we have to get it shoved down our throats.
