There was a time when Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore together spelt romance, with a generous dose of laughter thrown in. In Frank Coraci’s Blended, they just make you cringe and feel sorry for them.

Considering how many of Sandler’s films are filled with potty humour, it’s good to see ‘Blended’ uphold family values like commitment, togetherness and the unique roles that only a father and mother can play.
