Review of Blended (2014) by A T — 25 Sep 2014

I honestly give Sandler the benefit of the doubt more than I should sometimes. Blended isn't dreck like Zohan or has a story unlike Grown-Ups, but it still just feels boring. The scenes in suburbia just should have been cut (even though it gives us Jeff Winger, yes Joel McHale still doing Jeff Winger) and this might be the first movie in a while to feature a chorus.

Still Sandler offers funny one liners, if far and fewer than before. it's a shame since 50 First Dates is actually one of my favourite movies. I just wish a bit more effort went into it gelling (forgive the pun if you've seen the movie).

Sandler tries to show dramatic chops when dealing with his wife who dies of cancer, but it just feels so out of place in a movie filled with so many boob jokes.
