Blended Review

Not too long ago I desperately wanted to go out on a Saturday night. All my friends were busy but my sister was keen. So what do you do with an underage sister on a Saturday night? You go to a movie! Thus, my sister and I were laughing our heads off in the cinema watching Blended.

Blended is a romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore with an ensemble cast of Bella Thorne, Emma Fuhrmann, Terry Crews, Joel McHale, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Kevin Nealon and Shaquille O’Neal. The premise of the film saw two families’s travelling to Africa together, despite an awkward blind date between Mom and Dad.

Normally I hate romantic comedies, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed. The jokes were funny, the acting was good and the scenery was incredible. Blended marks Sandler and Barrymore’s third collaboration; and it was easy to tell why the two of them continue to make such great films. They have great chemistry together as well as with the entire cast. It made for a very believable film.

The scenery in the film was magnificent. South Africa is beautiful and it was easy to see why the writers chose to make the family moon in Africa... it gave the director something amazing to work with. Having been to Africa myself I can say that some of the activities the characters did would not happen if you actually visited the country, however it did make for an interesting film.

If you are looking for a film to watch with your sister when you have nothing better to do on a Saturday night then Blended is the film for you, with just the right blend of comedy and seriousness.

Stay random!
