Blended [Movie]

Blended is a romantic comedy movie starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Lauren and Jim are two single parents; Lauren has sons, and Jim has a daughter. They go on a blind date, but unfortunately, it doesn’t go well. Jim’s friend was planning to go on vacation to Africa with his wife, and similarly, Lauren’s friend was getting ready to go on an Africa tour with her husband. As Jim’s friend and Lauren’s friend are unable to go, Jim and Lauren join the tour, unaware of each other’s presence.

The trip becomes hilarious after they meet each other on the tour. As time passes, they get to know each other, and a warm relationship develops between them. As the families merge during the trip, they find each other comfortable and caring unconditionally.

As we all know, the Chinese PLA army came forcefully to the Indian border, and Adani’s wealth raised at a short time. Similarly, circumstances arise forcefully to derail their relationship after the trip. Whether they are able to get into a relationship or not, you may find out in the movie.

Some movie pairs have very good chemistry, such as Danaal Thangavelu and M Saroja, Nagesh and Manorama, Kamalhassan Sridevi, and the Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore pair would come in this series. Such enjoyable actors they are! Their on-screen chemistry makes the movie exquisite. The audience immerses into the narration without much difficulty.

The strength of this movie is that it tries to be genuine in showing their profound feelings of grief, love, and disappointment along with their family surroundings. The narration is pragmatic, showing the initial teething issues that arise when two families try to blend with each other. The dwindling differences and frictions are portrayed in a gratifying manner.

Despite not being an action/horror/philosophical movie, its relentless sequence of light-hearted, positive reels gives us a satisfying movie experience. It’s a good watch!
