In Blended, recently divorced mom Lauren Reynolds and widowed dad Jim Friedman suffer through the world’s worst blind date, vowing never to meet again. Fate intervenes when both unknowingly purchase halves of the same vacation package to a luxury resort in South Africa designed for families. Forced to share a romantic suite, their clashing personalities and their children’s antics spark chaos, comedy, and gradual connection. As the families navigate activities, wildlife, and turbulent emotions, Jim and Lauren begin to soften toward one another — helped by caring moments and shared parenting challenges. The children, originally hostile, slowly bond and form a new kind of family unity. Heartfelt, messy, and humorous, Blended is about finding love and support in unexpected places.
