In their unintentional quest for love, Jim and Lauren’s lives and dealing with loss, single parenthood and divorce, offers an interesting and unintentional insight into suburban middle class America. Sandler is firmly in his comfort zone and Barrymore is the cute person she is in most of her films. The movie is no doubt funny, but the genuinely good jokes are just by the handful.

16 years after The Wedding Singer, we expected Sandler and Barrymore to have a better reunion film, sadly Blended is a mash up of all the wrong ingredients that make up a good rom com.

Most Sandler films in recent time are like Akshay Kumar or Sajid Khan equivalent of English film. They hardly have a story or a comprehensible plot and character development is a even rarer occurrence.

It’s a lame rom-com, a lame melodrama, a lame slapstick and a lame attempt at schmaltz — all rolled into one horribly lame package.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore try to spell magic with their chemistry, but not quite.
