There is this stigma that if you want a rom-com to work, you must cast Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan for it to be a success (Joe Versus the Volcano is by far my favorite, but that is just me). There is no denying the chemistry of the Hanks-Ryan connection, but I feel that there is a comparable duo out there: Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore! If you feel the way that I do, then you are in luck. As it turns out the 50 First Dates and Wedding Singer co-stars are going to be teaming back up for a new film called Blended.
I haven’t heard too much about this film until today. Thanks to moviehole, we now have a detailed synopsis of the film.:
Recently divorced mother of two boys, LAUREN REYNOLDS, and widowed father of three girls, JIM FRIEDMAN, 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.
It probably won’t win any awards, but it does sound fun.
Do you think they have what it takes to pull off one more rom-com, or are you over it?
Until next time…
Billy Out!
