Review of Blended

Blended (2014)
5/10
Laugh out loud, true family humor
17 January 2016
OK forgive me...but if I were to type the first thing on my mind without worrying about offending anyone, it would be this:

Anyone who didn't love this movie doesn't get family dynamics and emotions (especially when you've lost someone or simply feel misunderstood).

Granted, this isn't the kind of movie that wins a critics choice award...it's not a dark comedy or modern film noir.

But come on, we all feel this way sometimes...once in a while, you just want to watch an all-rounder...a movie that features a great cast, amazing setting, a bit of action, romance, and drama... laugh out loud moments and heartfelt moments, too.

If you have a family, this movie will move you.

Yes, I would love to see my people of color in more substantial/less stereotypical roles, but this movie has a slightly diverse cast, Terry Crews is an effing SUPERSTAR (so funny), and who doesn't love Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore?

Let's hope these funny, sweet, giving, powerful Hollywood moguls choose to make even better decisions in the future when it comes to featuring a truly diverse cast.

Should you watch this movie? YES! It is well worth your time.
