The most shocking revelation to come from the latest Adam Sandler movie, Blended, has nothing to do with any gross-out joke or adolescent gag, nothing to do with projectile vomiting or messy excrement or children behaving in wildly inappropriate ways in the pursuit of a cheap laugh.
Rather, it’s the fact that Blended isn’t completely terrible. I mean, of course it’s terrible, but a certain level of care appears to have been taken here compared to Sandler’s many recent attempts at comedy.
The bar is just so low, people. It’s just hovering there above the ground.
