From the latest trailer, Blended looks pretty much how you would expect it to. It’s a typical modern Hollywood comedy, but it does have one thing going from it. For one, Adam Sandler doesn’t look like he’s taking centre stage, which is a good thing because he’s bloody annoying. And two, the children are actually quite funny. I laughed a couple of times at them. It looks like they could be the comic relief.
So the story’s like this: after a disastrous blind date, single parents Lauren and Jim agree on only one thing: they never want to see each other again. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort for a week. I think it’s safe to say, that ‘against all odds’, Jim and Lauren will get together at the end of the film.
Blended is out on May 23rd in the UK.
