Where To Watch Blended (2014)

Blended follows Jim Friedman (Adam Sandler), a widowed father raising three daughters, and Lauren Reynolds (Drew Barrymore), a divorced mother with two sons. After an extremely awkward blind date, both agree that they never want to see each other again. Their plans change when they independently book the same family vacation at a luxury resort in South Africa. Forced to share a suite and participate in family activities, Jim and Lauren gradually discover that their children—and even they themselves—may have more in common than they initially thought. As the vacation continues, rivalry, embarrassing situations, family conflicts, and unexpected romantic feelings turn an uncomfortable holiday into an opportunity for two families to become closer.

More details about Blended (2014) and where you can watch

Blended is the third movie to reunite Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, following The Wedding Singer (1998) and 50 First Dates (2004). It was also directed by Frank Coraci, who directed The Wedding Singer, making the film a reunion of the same popular comedy team. The movie was filmed partly in South Africa, including the famous Sun City resort, which provides much of the film’s vacation setting. Another interesting detail is that Terry Crews plays Nickens, the resort entertainer, giving the movie several memorable musical-comedy moments. Former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal also makes a credited appearance. The title Blended has a double meaning, referring both to Jim and Lauren’s relationship and to their two families gradually coming together as a blended family.
