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.

What to Know

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 Jun 12, 2014 Full Review 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 Jun 6, 2014 Full Review 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 May 26, 2014 Full Review Richard Crouse 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Ignore the critics. Blended a return to form for Sandler. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Avaryl Halley Movie Bitches It's garbage. May 26, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Alex Hilarious Adam and drew Barrymore classic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/21 Full Review Sandy F Awesome film. Cant believe i never heard of it at the time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Brian M Lite and easy. This isn’t meant to be War and Peace. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Obviously a Sandler movie. Light hearted movie that you can watch multiple times. Like a comfort movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Blu B It has the same problems and strengths as Click. First half it does not stop with the typical Adam Sandler comedy B.S. tropes. Tons of product placements, reference jokes, dumb lazy humor, and just Adam playing himself. It's terribly jumpy and just very shaky when it starts. Once they go to Africa though....it starts to become almost a whole different movie. It starts actually having charm, some ground ball hit jokes that get little chuckles and the pros start to outweigh the cons. It still has dumb humor and it can feel like stuff still happens but it takes a big jump up. Africa also is really well shot and a interesting/beautiful backdrop as well so that helps. The final 20 minutes is good also and doesn't have hardly any dumb Sandler humor and is charming. It's half decently made all around. This would be an actual good family comedy if it wasn't for the problems of the first half. Particulary right before they go to Africa. As it stands, anyone who is a Adam Sandler fan and/or Rom-Coms will probably like this.
