Awesome Adam Sandler movie!!! As always!!! Funny and entertaining family movie.

BLENDED showed up on late night television. I like Sandler. I like Barrymore. Their chemistry in 50 First Dates was pleasant. In this movie, not so much. Their relationship seems so strained and unbelievable.Kevin Nealon has never been a plus in movies: he is never funny. Instead of casting this loser, it would have been a better idea to put in Rob Schneider. Instead of his lines coming across insincere (which is basically EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER that Nealon does), Schneider would have been insane delivering that same dialogue.There is something really wrong with the sound. Maybe it was just the TV station, but during the credit card swap scene in Lauren's house, the background is literally roaring, overpowering the dialogue, birds chirping, traffic passing, wind blowing. I had to check the surround circuit to see if it was producing the phenomenon, even changing the stereo into left, right and mono with no fix. Eventually when the scene changed, the background went back to being normal. Everything seemed ok except when the story returns once again (after Africa) to a scene in her house, the background roars. It doesn't make any sense (except that the scenes were probably shot at the same time).Other than that particular problem, the movie is acceptable. I'd probably watch it again.

I really enjoyed this movie!! I think that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore should make a movie every year together! This little jewel did not get the exposure that 50 1st dates got and I really enjoyed it, wish I had known about it sooner! I enjoyed it with Sonny Gomez! 😀🐶 Aka "Little Kujo" at Coffee Bean 😉

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.
