Review.

SINGLE DAD, NO CLUE. SINGLE MUM, FLYING SOLO.

I've never been a big fan of that crazy Adam Sandler,I once beat the hell out of my buddy cause he said he liked Sandler. Most Sandler movies that I've seen their worst then piss,and trust me this is bad but it's not as most of his others, I mean I stopped and said what the buck is this? So many crappy movie I've seen from Sandler while this movie may be bad it's not as bad his others or maybe even his next one. So for now I'm Ok with that crazy Adam Sandler I won't beat ya if you like Sandler,and I'll try to understand ya, if you like Sandler.

The film revolves around Jim who after a blind date decides to spend more time with his kids by booking a trip from his boss for his family at Africa,as does his date Jenn with her kids. They form a bond at the vacation through their children.

The movie did achieve it's goal for only about a small percentage. I only laughed six times in this film,I counted six times. You maybe like me where I have seen comedy's were I have laughed my butt off. I recently did with last year's The World's End were every five minutes I was laughing so hard I almost fell of my couch and spit out my soda.The film is funny at least which is more then I can say for click or the Grown up movies. The film presents it's humor through funny dialogue and actions. Sometimes their funny,most times their not.

The story did not interest me in the least and if you've seen Sandler's Just Go With It,then it might no interest you that much either.

The performances from Sandler and Barrymore are not terrible but their not that good either cause half the time I felt like I was watching a sop-opera special or something. I have seen nine Sandler movies one which was 50 first dates and I actually enjoyed that picture,so I guess maybe when he's not that bad. The supporting cast is the worst thing in the film though, I was getting really tired of that actor Kevin Nealon in the movie, for every time he and that blonde chick were at on screen I was really annoyed because they just weren't funny. Terry Crews however every time he was on screen I just looked at the screen and thought to myself this is even worse then Expendables 3.

The direction is just terrible. He doesn't direct his actors cause every time Sandlers on screen he's just doing his usually kind of thing he does for the people at Happy Madison. The usually can get tiresome and very boring unless you provide something new which this movie does not.

The elements of any good comedy are not present from start to finish,the acting is not all that impressive and the direction is terrible,I'm going to shred this terrible movie in my blender,Blended gets a two out of five.
