Recently divorced mom Lauren (Drew Barrymore) and widowed dad Jim (Adam Sandler) 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, unbeknown to each other, purchase one-half of the same vacation package at a South African resort; they and their children are forced to share the same suite and participate in a slew of family activities together.

Critics Consensus

Lurching between slapstick and schmaltz without showing much of a commitment to either, Blended commits the rare Sandler sin of provoking little more than boredom.

Philippa Hawker

The Age (Australia)

Bland on the one hand, tacky on the other, Blended lives up to its name in more ways than one.

Rated: 2/5

Eddie Cockrell

The Australian

It has become something of a tradition to dismiss the latest Adam Sandler movie outright or, if one is feeling particularly generous, damn it with faint praise. Blended is no exception to this strategy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

[A] vomit-inducing blend of mawkish sentimentality and dead-on-arrival humour, all bundled up in a putrid package of festering family-friendly fun.

Rated: 1/5

EscribiendoCine

With a steady pace and supported by the chemistry of its lead couple, Blended is presented as a comedy designed to be shared with the family and enjoyed in the movie theater. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Richard Crouse

Much of the humor is Sandler boilerplate stuff but a musical montage when Sandler realizes his daughter isn't just a tomboy anymore is funny and worth a look.

Blended is my all time favorite movie! It is a perfect mix of comedy and romance along with family fun. It is the best way to spend a calm Sunday in Summer when you are having a family movie night.

16%? Really? Cheesy but charming. Why does every Adam Sandler movie have an emotional gut punch? Also, Drew Barrymore should be his love interest in every movie he stars in. Best Character: Jen (I needed more of her. She was hilarious.) Best Quote: "I may have misread that situation." - Mfana Best Scene: Lauren singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in Africa

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Sweet movie, but a surprising lack of tension. Every problem was gotten over easily and quickly.

Filme: Juntos e Misturados Assistido: 7-9-25 Elenco: @adamsandler @drewbarrymore @bellathorne @jessmarlo @emmafuhrmann @kevinnealon @alyviaalind @terrycrews @braxtonbeckham11 @joelmchale @zaknotwack @lurenlapkus Modelo: #romance #comédia Duração: 2h Ano: 2014 Minha opinião: Afinado no Amor 1998, Como se Fosse a Primeira Vez 2004 e Juntos e Misturados 2014. São os filmes de Adam com Drew e outra parceira com 3 filmes temos Jennifer Aniston. Nesta comédia creio que Adam usa da mesma fórmula para o sucesso do filme. Dê uma forma onde Adam tem 3 filhas que ele cria depois da morte da mãe. Como trabalha em um loja de produtos para esporte, ele veste as meninas com roupas de esporte e leva elas para cortar o cabelo em um barbeiro e cria como se elas fossem seus filhos. Já Drew é divorciada e tem 2 filhos sendo que o mais velho esta na puberdade e com um pai ausente que não participa de nada. O filme começa com Adam e Drew em um encontro, mas nada deu certo. MAs o destino os uniu na África com toda a família. Mesmo no inicio com tudo para dar errado, já que estão no mesmo quarto, pouco a pouco um vai suprimindo a necessidade do outro principalmente em relação aos filhos. Vendo como cada um esta sendo falho na condução da educação e interação. Vendo que as meninas precisam de um toque de mulher e os meninos de um toque masculino. E assim vão se completando até que a mágia do amor toca os 2. Com vários momento hilários co um casal louco e a presença de Crew como um comercial a cada 5 minutos. Vale apena assistir? Um filme bom para assitir e relaxar. Não é o melhor dos 2. Mas vale apena assistir comendo pipoca com a família. Nota: 7
