Admittedly, I’m a bit of an Adam Sandler fan. I haven’t seen all of his movies, but I’ve seen quite a few, and I generally like them, even some that no one else seems to life (Just Go With It, That’s My Boy). I don’t always enjoy stupid adolescent humor, but for whatever unknown reason I can’t help but laugh at Sandler’s movies. Blended is just the most recent example. There are plenty of silly jokes that no sane adult would laugh at, but once again I couldn’t help myself.
Blended joins Sandler with Drew Barrymore, and this will be the third romantic comedy they’ve made together. This isn’t a deep movie, and isn’t as stirring as their last (50 First Dates), but there are still plenty of genuinely laugh-out-loud moments. Sandler brings out a lot of his friends as he always does in his movies, and there are cameos by characters of his previous movies as well.
Of course, you see the inevitable conclusion practically from the first 5 minutes into the film, but it is still worth sticking around for and enjoying the banter along the way. Blended isn’t fine film-making, but Sandler’s fans will find more of what they like here.
