It could have been a bit smarter and a lot shorter, but Blended, the third big-screen pairing for Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore (after "The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates"), is a fun, often funny, largely enjoyable romp.
You have to work hard to make an African vacation seem unpleasant. And Adam Sandler nearly pulls it off in Blended.

Like usual, this movie follows in the traditional path of greatness expected by the comedic duo pairing of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. I love that it has family elements and themes and that the two of them play a couple that never seems like they could get along and yet find they have so very much in common that can't deny it. It was entertaining and had some hilarious dialogue lines. I found it thoroughly amusing in every sense of the word. I know that Adam and Drew have only made three films together so far, but with how wildly successful 3-for-3 has been, I'd love to see more come from the two of them.
10 huge shining stars!

The movie feels like a throwback; it brings to mind the blandly crappy movies Sandler made 10 years ago, rather than the brazenly crappy movies he makes today. In that sense, it’s a double disappointment, neither consistently funny nor endurance-testing.
What's missing from Blended? Two key ingredients: it doesn't touch the heart and it doesn't tickle the funny bone (at least not often enough).
It’s a good family movie the way Hooters is a good family restaurant.
A movie that is, in its subtle way, as offensive and mean-spirited as anything Sandler has done, but in a way that is so cuddly, there's the possibility it could, somehow, go unnoticed.
Most of Blended has the look and pacing of a three-camera sitcom filmed by a bunch of eighth graders and conceived by their less bright classmates. Shots don’t match. Jokes misfire. Gags that are visible from a mile away fail to deliver.
unfunny, boring, just not one of Adam's entertaining movies. Sometimes bad can be fun, but not this time

Blended is the atypical, lowbrow date-night film you expect it to be. Surprisingly one of Adam Sandler's more recent palatable movies, thanks to his humanization by Drew Barrymore, the film still lacks any originality or substance. The script is repetitive, using extremely racy comedy in what is supposedly considered a family film. The premise of two broken families merging is not a new one, but the chemistry of Sandler and Barrymore would have been enough to create an entertaining film. Unfortunately the over abundance of stereotypes and prejudices mixed with a terrible misuse of themes causes this ship to sink. A promising niche date film turns into a vulgar attempt at comedy with family aspects present but not full accounted for. Blended is a blend of bland jokes and a tacky storyline.
