Brain in a blender

Adam Sandler is one of Hollywood’s great enigmas. In my opinion, his decent movies are about as common as a competent driver from across the Causeway, yet he somehow manages to be counted amongst the industry’s elite. His latest effort to roll out a film actually worthy of his top star billing falls flat on its face and is doomed from its inception. Blended is a tired film full of genre tropes that brings nothing fresh to the table.
