Blended is a 2014 American romantic comedy film directed by Frank Coraci and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Written by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera, the film stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore as two single parents who went on a blind date together and never wanted to see each other again afterwards. To their surprise, they both end up at the same African safari resort with their children and are forced to stay together. The film's ensemble cast also features Kevin Nealon, Terry Crews, and Wendi McLendon-Covey. South African cricketer Dale Steyn makes a cameo appearance as himself.
The film was produced by Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo, and Mike Karz and was released on May 23, 2014.[4][5] It grossed $128 million worldwide, against a budget of $40 million,[2] and received generally negative reviews from critics.[6][7] This is the third collaboration between Sandler and Barrymore after The Wedding Singer (also directed by Coraci) and 50 First Dates.
