Blended 🎥 2014 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Divorced Lauren Reynolds goes on a blind date with widower Jim Friedman at Hooters, but it ends in disaster. Jim’s wife has died from cancer and his three daughters, Hilary “Larry”, Espen “ESPN” and Louise “Lou”, try to cope with her loss. Lauren’s husband Mark cheated on her, but she never told her two sons, Brendan and Tyler, why they are divorced, so they are hostile to her dating again. While Jim struggles with his girls, Lauren struggles with her sons. The two run into each other while on errands to the pharmacy.

Jim is buying tampons for Hilary, while Lauren is looking at porn for Brendan. The cashier mistakenly switches their credit cards, so Jim goes to Lauren’s house to switch the credit cards back. Jen, Lauren’s friend and co-worker, arrives at Lauren’s house to announce that she has broken up with her boyfriend Dick, Jim’s boss. Devastated, Jen tells Lauren and, inadvertently, Jim that Dick had planned on taking Jen on a special trip to Africa. Since Jen and Dick broke up, Lauren commits to using Jen’s portion of the vacation package without knowing that Jim is simultaneously making the same arrangement with Dick.

When both families arrive at the resort, they are dismayed to see one another and that the hotel room is a romantic suite. At meal-time, the families are put together for a “blended familymoon”, where they dine together with other blended families, including the oversexed Eddy and Ginger. Eddy’s new bride is quite his junior, to the chagrin of his teenage son Jake, on whom Hilary develops a crush at first sight. The kids make an awkward impression on each other, with Brendan calling his mother “hot” and the others not knowing how to react to Espen acting like her mother is there with her.
