If the phrase ‘Adam Sandler-starring romantic comedy’ doesn’t fill your heart with dread and terror then you’ve probably not been paying too much attention to film criticism in recent years. That’s okay, neither has Adam Sandler. The reviews are generally terrible and yet Sandler has rolled out at least one comedy every year since 1998, which is undeniably impressive. Presumably these films make money, else he wouldn’t be able to make them and therefore it’s logical to suggest that people are going to see them. It’s almost as if the general public couldn’t care less about critical opinion. Huh.
I wouldn’t include myself as a member of the critical fraternity, by the way. I...

Chicago – Two things save “Blended” from getting a zero star review. Number one is the still palpable chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. Number two is the occasional chuckle courtesy of Wendi McClendon-Covey as Barrymore’s business partner. Otherwise this is a barren laugh-free safari through Africa that doesn’t even have the benefit of Al Pacino trampling on his prestigious career for our amusement.
Rating: 1.0/5.0
“Blended” never sinks to the astonishingly awful lows of “Jack And Jill” or “That’s My Boy.” Both of those films had ideas I couldn’t believe had ever made it to the silver screen. But I won’t soon forget them, as hard as I may try. “Blended” is both painfully unfunny and bland and boring.
I feel a little sorry for Drew Barrymore’s career these days, because the closest thing she’s got to a dependable leading man is Adam Sandler.

Chicago – Trying to understand the psychology and philosophy of manchild Adam Sandler, when it comes to his “middle-age” movies, will perplex film scholars and therapists for generations to come. His latest excuse for a “family comedy” is the insipid and exploitative “Blended.”
Rating: 1.5/5.0
There is a strange dichotomy in these Sandler comedies – see also “Grown-Ups,” “Jack and Jill” and “That’s My Boy” – that desires to be warm explorations of family, but at the same time wants to showcase the sixth grade level baby humor that is Sandler’s bread and butter. And make no mistake, despite “screenwriters” and “directors,” the mark on these films is all Sandler, who most likely goes over each line with his staff of sycophants, giggling at every change he makes. If your idea of hilarity is Sandler riding an ostrich, or Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal doing a sex dance, then go to movie alone...

Proving that third time isn't always a charm, Blended reunites Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore after the duo's previous box office successes The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
This time out the pair play single parents Jim and Lauren who, after a disastrous blind date at Hooters, find themselves thrust together on an African safari holiday. This 'blended' family find themselves at odds initially, but naturally this wouldn't be a Hollywood rom-com without hugging, learning and the two opposing sides gradually finding a place in each other's hearts.
Unfortunately, Blended falls flat from the off despite an endearing performance from Barrymore and palpable chemistry between her and Sandler (who's always better when in the company of his Wedding Singer co-star). Scriptwriters Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera...

You know those real estate scams where you're offered a free vacation if you just sit through a time-share presentation and that time-share presentation seems never-ending, because even if it's just two hours, what you really wanted was a free vacation? For Adam Sandler, filmmaking is like that time-share presentation. All the guy wants is to get major motion picture studios to subsidize his vacations. Is that so wrong? If Sony or Warner Brothers said to you, "How would you like an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii or Africa or a secluded lake? And all you have to do is deliver a movie and nobody on our side will even ask to see a script or bother looking at the final cut," what would you say? You'd accept the deal. Don't deny it. It's obvious that Sandler and his partners-in-vacation-loving-crime don't especially enjoy the quid pro quo required for their global galavanting,...

Adam Sandler goes to Africa, via the tampon aisle, and assumes you’ll agree with him that racism and sexism are family values worth celebrating. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): I hate Adam Sandler and everything he stands for
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Attempting to determine the very worst thing about the oeuvre of Adam Sandler is akin to trying to decide which sort of cancer is the most horrible: even to finally settle on one isn’t to say that all the rest aren’t blights on humanity. But I think I may now have it.
It’s the smugness. The Sandler smug reaches a new nadir of appalling with Blended. For everything is presented with the same self-satisfied confidence that the audience is entirely onboard with the indisputable fact of every assumption with which the film presents us.

Chicago – Standing out among the crowd of young actors is a daunting task, but Bella Thorne is up to the challenge, portraying Adam Sandler’s teenage daughter in the new film “Blended,” which also features Drew Barrymore.
In addition, the 16 year old actress has conquered series TV, having starred in Disney Channel’s “Shake it Up.”

Annabelle Avery “Bella” Thorne was born in Florida, and first dipped her toe in show business as a child and teen model. After expanding into acting, Thorne got her first big break in the TV series “My Own Worst Enemy” (2008). After doing some independent films, she got the lead in the Disney Channel series, “Shake it Up,” portraying CeCe Jones. Art imitated life for that show, because Thorne’s character had dyslexia, a condition that Thorne herself has in real life.

Community star Joel McHale is going to join Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in their upcoming new romantic comedy for Warner Bros.
The story follow a "recently divorced mother of two boys, Lauren Reynolds, and widowed father of three girls, Jim Friedman, [who] have a disastrous blind date that puts them off dating for the foreseeable future. However, when the two purchase a discount 'Familymoon' vacation from Lauren’s best friend and business partner, Jen, they wind up at an African resort with their kids in tow. Initially acrimonious, their relationship skews, gradually and irresistibly, towards romance."
McHale will play Barrymore’s ex-husband in the film, which is being directed by Frank Coraci from an original script by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera. Hopefully the movie turns out good. I like McHale, I think he'll make the film that much more enjoyable.

Lately, when we hear the words “new Adam Sandler movie,” they ultimately prove to be followed by some horrifying, bottom barrel plotline that makes us regret ever considering ourselves a fan of the funny man (sorry, Sandler, I still remember That’s My Boy), but for all the Just Go With Its and Grown Ups (and its upcoming sequel), Sandler can still charm the hell out of an audience with stuff like Fifty First Dates and The Wedding Singer. The continuing thread between such fare? Co-star Drew Barrymore. So, it is with some excitement that we reveal news about a new Sandler/Barrymore pairing that actually sounds charming, romantic, and – get this - mature. Moviehole passes along a ton of information about the film (via /Film), including that it will reunite the pair with Wedding Singer director Frank Coraci, that it features a script by Ivan Menchell and Claire Sera, with...

Pair follow up The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates with new film set at family resort, directed by Frank Coraci
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are to pair up for the third time on a new comedy that revolves around the fallout from a disastrous blind date, reports Variety.
Sandler and Barrymore previously co-headlined 1998's The Wedding Singer and 2004's 50 First Dates, both of which were considered box office successes. The Wedding Singer even managed to be that rare concern in Hollywood, the well-reviewed Adam Sandler movie.
The new film will centre on two people who find themselves stuck together in a family resort with their children from previous marriages after the aforementioned disastrous romantic coupling. The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci, a regular Sandler collaborator, will direct from a screenplay by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera.

When news broke that Adam Sandler had shelved plans to make Paramount’s comedy Western The Ridiculous Six (it needs more script tweaks) and switched to a new, untitled film for Warner Bros., talk almost immediately turned to his Wedding Singer partner Drew Barrymore as a possible co-star. Well, to almost no-one’s surprise, she’s decided to reunite with him for the film.The movie itself is still in need of a name, but it has a director, another Sandler veteran, Frank Coraci, and a script by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera.Sandler and Barrymore will play a couple who, after a disastrous blind date, are stuck hanging out together at a family resort with their children from previous marriages.

It’s official – Drew Barrymore will join Adam Sandler in an upcoming (and still untitled) comedy which comes from director Frank Coraci! And although (almost) everything about this project is still a mystery, the above mentioned duo was pretty good in The Wedding Singer, so I guess we have nothing to worry about (right?) So, at this moment we know that Coraci will direct the movie from an original script written by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera.

The untitled comedy for Warner Bros. will see the two as single parents who after an awful blind date wind up stuck together at a family resort with their children from previous marriages. Yikes. Frank Coraci (Click, The Wedding Singer) will direct a script from Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera....

Adam Sandler has signed on to star in an untitled Warner Bros. rom-com, formerly titled Blended, and could possibly re-team with his The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates co-star Drew Barrymore, who has emerged as the frontrunner to play the female lead. Still untitled project reportedly explores the growing phenomenon of ‘blended families,’ following ‘a man and a woman who, after a disastrous first date, get trapped at a family resort with their kids from previous marriages in tow.’ The two begin to develop mutual romantic feelings, of course. Ivan Menchell and Claire Sera penned the script, already under the search for a director...

Adam Sandler has a new project in the pipeline, and this one might not be the Razzie bait we.re used to, since it falls into the romantic comedy genre where he isn.t judged quite as harshly by critics and fans. It isn.t completely clear why Sandler, the man who has enough comedic gifts to have given us The Goat, tends to smother the genuine comedy right out of the films he makes, but it.s to be expected at this point. Deadline reports Sandler.s Happy Madison will team up with Warner Bros. to produce an untitled .blended family. comedy. Sandler himself will be taking the lead role, and they.re looking at a small group of actresses, including Sandler.s past co-star Drew Barrymore, to join the fast-paced production, which will also be eyeing directors in quick fashion. The script, originally written by Ivan Menchell and...

Adam Sandler’s on the move again. Last October it appeared he had locked down his next project with Paramount’s comedy Western The Ridiculous Six. But things have changed. Now it would seem he’s more interested in a new, untitled romantic comedy for Warner Bros.According to Variety, he was all systems go on Ridiculous Six, but script issues on that one have led to delays and now he’s shoved it back in line and dragged the new film to the fore.Ivan Menchell and Claire Sera wrote the original version of the script, which finds a couple going on a terrible blind date. Somehow, this leads to them stuck together with their various kids from a previous marriage. It’s all spun from the idea of blended families (not literally in a blender – that would be more of a horror movie).Sandler is now on the...

Thanks to The Cog, we're privy to a lot of inside information on projects currently in development. Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do with many of those projects. When there's not a big name attached to it, or where it's not a sequel or a remake, it rarely rises to the level of newsworthy. But I hate for all that information to go to waste. Bad ideas are great fodder for a site like ours -- you folks have a tendency to feed off Hollywood's stupidity. I'd like to offer a vehicle for that.
So, today we introduce a new feature: Green Light This! I'll give you the loglines to three movies currently in development -- and in most cases, this will be content exclusive to Pajiba -- and you determine which of the three projects is the best candidate for a green light. In the month's ahead,...
