Adam Sandler 2014 comedy climbs Netflix charts
Warner Bros.Adam Sandler has quickly cemented his place on Netflix with original hits for the streaming platform, but his 2014 comedy Blended is now climbing the Netflix charts.
From Hubie Halloween and Spaceman, to the animated movie Leo, Adam Sandler has made himself an impressive Netflix library. It also includes some of his other well-known works like Happy Gilmore to Uncut Gems. But one movie that has now taken over Netflix is Blended.
The 2014 movie starring Sandler and Drew Barrymore is a comical, fun, witty, and heartwarming story of family and unsuspecting love. Divorced Lauren Reynolds (Barrymore) goes on a blind date with widower Jim Friedman (Sandler) at none other than Hooters.
Jim lost his wife to cancer, with him and his daughters coping with the loss differently. Lauren’s marriage fell apart due to infidelity, but she never told her children the truth.
The date goes horribly wrong and they vow to never see each other again. When Jim goes to her house to return her credit card, they both learn that Jim’s boss and Lauren’s friend have broken up. Having planned a getaway to an African resort, Lauren and Jim decide to use their tickets to take their children.
The only problem is that neither of them have any idea what the other is doing. They find themselves meeting again at the resort with their families. Having no choice but to make nice, they soon realize how well they blend together.
Blended has been added to the Netflix library and has quickly climbed the charts. It’s now head-to-head against Mortal Kombat and Matt Damon’s fantasy movie The Great Wall, currently sitting in fourth place. You can see the full list as it currently stands below:
