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:
