Actor/Comedian Adam Sandler has teamed up again with Actress Drew Barrymore in a comedic romance of blended proportions. Sandler stars as a widower with his three young girls, going on a blind date with Barrymore who’s divorced with two young boys. The date, of course, goes terribly awry and the two part company.
Meanwhile, Barrymore’s friend and Sandler’s boss have a weekend blended couples vacation in Africa that they decide not to go on and little unbeknownst to either Sandler or Barrymore, they convince their friends to let them take their children on a “Family” trip to Africa.
Upon their arrival, Barrymore and Sandler are abhorred that they are together once again and despite staying in the same room for a “romantic” week, they try to make the trip about their kids only.
Before we know it, the two are finding ways to help each other’s children in a friendly, comical matter and they slowly find themselves inadvertently falling for each other and each other’s children.
But will it be enough, to keep them together once the trip is over?
“Blended”, in true Adam Sandler form, is a story that keeps you on your toes and laughing from the first minute on and is highly recommended for anyone who is a hopeless romantic or just wants a good laugh. Due to the PG 13 Rating, it is highly recommended for an older teenage to young adult audience.
“Blended” was released to theaters on May 23rd and thus far has earned over 32 million in the United States alone.
