Bland on the one hand, tacky on the other, Blended lives up to its name in more ways than one.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 12, 2014

It has become something of a tradition to dismiss the latest Adam Sandler movie outright or, if one is feeling particularly generous, damn it with faint praise. Blended is no exception to this strategy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 6, 2014

[A] vomit-inducing blend of mawkish sentimentality and dead-on-arrival humour, all bundled up in a putrid package of festering family-friendly fun.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 26, 2014

The romance is sweet and even effervescent, the comedy is homespun and sentimental, but it's packaged with such a repellent batch of stereotypes and prejudices that it's unpalatable even to contemplate.

| May 24, 2014

In the world of this sitcom love story, men are from Mars and women should be from a defiled menstrual tent far enough away that Adam Sandler won't have to hear them talk about tampons.

| Original Score: D- | May 23, 2014

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore star in Blended, their third pairing, and, while the chemistry may be good, the movie isn't.

| Original Score: C+ | May 23, 2014

I felt like it was crushing the soul out of me. But it's still not as bad as Grown-Ups 2.

| Original Score: 1.5/10 | May 23, 2014

Sandler would piss out of the screen if he thought he could get a laugh. This is not his worst film, but it's his most offensive.

| May 23, 2014

Another year has passed, and so, as with the cold inevitability of death, another Adam Sandler movie is upon us.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 23, 2014

A decent movie might actually be buried here somewhere deep, deep down. The world will never know.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 23, 2014

The laughs are sporadic and the supposedly tender moments are as heartwarming as a Hot Pocket.

| Original Score: C | May 23, 2014

Blended throws a lot of things on the screen, but in the end, it has to confront its awkward and artificial "romance." And that's just ugly.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | May 23, 2014

Sandler should keep working with Drew Barrymore, and next time he should also try a script with a second draft.

| Original Score: C | May 22, 2014

Blended is a rather sloppily-made effort, with stock shots of lions and giraffes randomly dropped in.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2014

"Blended" is far from the worst movie to come out of a studio-subsidized Adam Sandler vacation.

| Original Score: C- | May 22, 2014

Most of "Blended" has the look and pacing of a three-camera sitcom filmed by a bunch of eighth graders and conceived by their less bright classmates.

| May 22, 2014

Consider this review as confirmation of your fears and hopes: The flick is really really really really dumb - yet gets by thanks to the sweet chemistry of its stars.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 22, 2014

It proves very much un film de Sandler: so lazy you feel unconscionably guilty for snorting at the three jokes in its two hours that merit any response.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 22, 2014

A fun, often funny, largely enjoyable romp. The trick: Manage your expectations.

| May 22, 2014

The sunnier that Barrymore gets in her scenes with Sandler, the more the iffy elements and leaden bits seem to just melt away. Blend in more of that spirit, and their latest pairing might rate better.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 22, 2014
