Blended

A divorcée (Drew Barrymore) and a widower (Adam Sandler) survive a blind date from hell, then—through a ridiculously contrived chain of circumstances—wind up on the same African vacation, this time with all their kids (her two boys, his three girls). It's the usual string of dumbass gags from Sandler and his crony and director Frank Coraci, with the South African locale allowing for a little patronizing racism thrown in for bad measure. Barrymore should make fewer movies with Sandler, but he should make more with her. She raises the level of his game, and when they're onscreen together, makes his presence palatable (now that's talent!). Among the supporting cast, Bella Thorne as Sandler's oldest daughter and Wendi McLendon-Covey as Barrymore's best friend come off best.
