Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore push their luck with a third rom-com (following The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates). After a disastrous blind date, they find themselves stuck together in a South African family resort with their children from previous marriages.
“Adam Sandler” - two words that strike fear into this movie critic. Fortunately, here he’s Blended with Drew Barrymore who, having co-starred in The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, is back for more - of the same. Adam and Drew play a couple of single parents who, following a disastrous blind date, meet again whilst on a South African holiday with their respective kids in tow. Cue mismatched romantic shenanigans.

No surprises here, nor many laughs, though the romance has a simple, sentimental appeal.
