08/24/2014

OVERVIEW: Two families will have to survive their vacation when “Blended” arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD on August 26 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Gulfstream Pictures and Happy Madison Productions. Marking the third comedy collaboration between stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, “Blended” follows two single parents whose families collide on an African safari.

“Blended” stars Drew Barrymore as Lauren and Adam Sandler as Jim, alongside Wendi McLendon-Covey (“Bridesmaids”) as Lauren’s best friend, Jen, and Joel McHale (TV’s “Community”) as her unreliable ex-husband, Mark. Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”) and Jessica Lowe (funnyordie’s “RobotDown”) star as Eddy and Ginger, an overly romantic couple who are also vacationing at the resort, and Terry Crews (television’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) stars as the resort’s singing host. Dan Patrick (ESPN SportsCenter) appears as Jim’s boss, Dick; and Shaquille O’Neal as his coworker, Doug. Playing Jim’s three daughters are Bella Thorne (Disney Channel’s “Shake it Up”), Emma Fuhrmann and Alyvia Alyn Lind. Kyle Red Silverstein and Braxton Beckham appear as Lauren’s two sons. 

“Blended” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and includes the film in high definition on Blu-ray Disc, a DVD, and a digital version of the movie in Digital HD with UltraViolet.* Fans can also own “Blended” on Digital HD on August 26 via purchase from digital retailers.

SYNOPSIS: After a disastrous blind date, single parents Lauren (Barrymore) and Jim (Sandler) agree on only one thing: they never want to see each other again. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort for a week.

BLU-RAY: The film is presented in widescreen in a 1.85:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby Digital in English that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes  English, French  and Spanish subtitles.
