Who would have thought that we’re actually going to bump
into our blind date partner after a disastrous date with him or her while
vacationing in South Africa? Let’s catch "Blended" starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore to see how things escalate
after that date. The synopsis as below :
Synopsis: After a disastrous blind date, single parents
Lauren (Drew Barrymore) and Jim (Adam Sandler) agree on only one thing: they
never want to see each other again. But
when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their
kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort
for a week.
“Blended” marks the third collaboration between stars
Sandler and Barrymore, following their successful onscreen pairings in the hit
romantic comedies “The Wedding SIger” and
“50 First Dates.”
The film also stars Wendi McLendon-Covey (“Bridesmaids”)
as Lauren’s best friend, Jen, and Joel McHale (TV’s “Community”) as her
unreliable ex-husband, Mark. Kevin
Nealon (“Weeds”) and Jessica Lowe (funnyordie’s “RobotDown”) star as Eddy and
Ginger, an overly romantic couple who are also vacationing at the resort, and
Terry Crews (“The Expendables 2”) stars as the resort’s singing host. Dan
Patrick (ESPN SportsCenter) appears as Jim’s boss, Dick; and Shaquille O’Neal
as his coworker, Doug.
Playing Jim’s three daughters are Bella Thorne (Disney
Channel’s “Shake it Up”), Emma Fuhrmann and Alyvia Alyn Lind. Kyle Red Silverstein and Braxton Beckham
appear as Lauren’s two sons.
“Blended” was directed by Frank Coraci, who previously
collaborated with Sandler and Barrymore on “The Wedding Singer” and also
directed Sandler in the hit comedies “The Waterboy” and “Click.” The screenplay is by Ivan Menchell &
Clare Sera. The film was produced by
Mike Karz, Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo, with Barry Bernardi, Josie Rosen,
Tim Herlihy, Allen Covert and Steven Koren serving as executive producers.
Collaborating with Coraci behind the scenes were director
of photography Julio Macat (“Pitch Perfect”), production designer Perry Andelin
Blake (“The Wedding Singer,” “Here Comes the Boom”), editor Tom Costain (“Grown
Ups”) and costume designer Christine Wada (“Bridesmaids”). The music was composed by Rupert
Gregson-Williams.
