| A great family film (by scott_g_white) |
| I loved this film. Per the advertisement, Adam and Drew are back to their funny antics as a potential couple. Yet, this film had underlying messages that will hit home with anyone that has been through tough times in a relationship, is trying to raise kids or has lost their "nuclear" family. You see it touches on the male and female roles in a relationship. It's not a Saving Private Ryan or Transformers action or drama. This is healthy comedy. This is a good family oriented film about today's realities, but throws in well timed humorous. When it was over I wished it had been <more> |
| Much Better Than His Recent Films!!!! (by ISpoonFeedMyself) |
| I rated this movie based on what I expected, and compared to his recent films like Grown Ups 2, Jack and Jill, and Just Go With It, which to me were a let down. Based on Blended, though, probably too early to say, it looks like he's steadily climbing back up the ladder in Sandler- Movie-Quality.Now before watching the movie, I was already expecting to be disappointed, because the trailer's do not do it justice... but I felt incredibly relieved watching this. The chemistry between Sandler and Drew is not gone, and this film is just as good as 50 first dates, if not, better in terms of <more> |

| A touching comedy (by Vega7473) |
| The lower ratings on this film are too harsh. This is actually a sweet comedy where two individuals who initially repel each other grow to like each other. The added touches are the children in this film, who are not only hilarious but also bring out the parental qualities in Drew and Sandler's characters. The holiday setting in this movie is also fantastic and adds a bit more quality to the film. The backing singers who appeared every now and then made me chuckle. The various activities that you find on a 5 star holiday are all here, which really makes you want to visit this <more> |
| Lucky there's a family guy who isn't ashamed of being a GUY (by tonyblass) |
| If you can believe it, we loved it. Don't care what the critics say, obviously. But you know why they hate it. Stubbornly suburban, vaguely sexist, more like sketch comedy lacking a finely crafted story arc, and definitely an unashamedly traditionalist pro-family view of "boys need dads and girls need moms." So that's Sandler's POV. You can go to the art house to see witty, urbane and progressive films and we do or to the multiplex to see the endless parade of horror, action, YA and/or comic book dumb dumb fare. and we don't But I'm still glad there's <more> |
| Great comedy/I wanna see it again (by pthinkii) |
| Ignore the critics, this movie is great. Really sweet. Hilarious. Adam Sandler has grown a lot over the years and the critics should give him break.Loved the setting. Wonderful one liners! Drew and Adam did an amazing on the movie.Guys and girls and even kids will enjoy it.

Heck the guys will enjoy it too.The writing is incredible! I want to visit the resort it was shot at. If you are looking for a <more> |
| Been a while since I've laughed so hard (by bobbo204) |
| Went to this movie a little leery because of the reviews and because I haven't loved all of Adam Sandler's movies. I was very surprised to find that I laughed nearly the whole movie. I thought Adam and Drew Barrymore did a great job together. All of the supporting cast was hilarious, especially Kevin Nealon and his "wife," and Terry Crews, who cracked me up every single scene he was in. Some of the scenes were a bit emotional, and even these scenes teared me up a little bit, thought all the acting was well done. The Africa setting was beautiful and the scenes in the hotel <more> |
| I loved it (by insanemoviecollector) |
| I truly loved this film. It was heart warming, fun and had me laughing several times. Yes, it's totally predictable but that can sometimes be OK. You know what you are going to get, the freaky children and the inevitable romance. I like these two when there together and I like Sandler despite what the critics say. He is someone you can relate to. A great movie to chill out, relax or just something to make you happy. The children's antics were annoying at times and the transformation from tomboy to beauty was slightly abrupt but I did like the the way that each parent dealt with the <more> |
| Drew! Barrymore/Sandler pairing magic (by cadadmail) |
| OK, well I love Drew Barrymore - so maybe 8 is high, but the romance and love was so well done mixing families I rate this at 8. The humor and seeing Mr. Sandler's friends was so perfect for the scenes they were in. Hearing those around me laugh seeing them preform brings a smile to your face. So being Adam Sandler is in this you must know the humor will be low brow - and it is, but not as much as when he was single.It is so great they are together again!Easy to love this movie as I also think kids are 99% the focus of the adults in their lives. So this message was not lost on me. Oh just <more> |
