This film reunites Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who last acted as a couple in “50 First Dates.”

    It opens with a blind date* between the two main characters that’s a disaster.

    Sporting-goods salesman Jim, a widower*, and closet* organizer Lauren, recently divorced*, are just getting back to dating.

    However terrible Lauren and Jim’s first meeting, it’s clear that these devoted* parents are meant for each other*.

    Then they meet again at a drugstore. He’s there for his teen daughter, Hilary (Bella Thorne), whom he treats like a boy. Lauren is at the store to replace a girly magazine that she destroyed after discovering it under the bed of her older son (Braxton Beckham).

    In the next scene, Jim, Lauren and their children go on a journey to a South African resort. They share a fancy suite* with a view.

    They’re caught in the middle of the resort’s annual celebration of the blended family, a “familymoon” event that’s designed with lots of activities for kids and romantic* opportunities for grownups. Avoiding the latter, Lauren and Jim keep busy on the family-friendly front.

    They coach* each other’s children: Jim coaches the baseball-challenged Tyler (Kyle Red Silverstein), and Lauren coaxes* Hilary into a beautiful makeover*.

    The action is sometimes sunny and sometimes mawkish*.

    Supporting roles are of the mostly thankless* sort. Kevin Nealon plays a middle-aged vacationer* who’s blind to the tension between his young wife (Jessica Lowe) and his teenage son (Zak Henri). Stateside, Shaquille O’Neal is called upon to do some belly-dancing as Jim’s co-worker, while Joel McHale fills the role of Lauren’s ex, a no-show* dad whose every move only emphasizes Jim’s goodness.

    Director Frank Coraci, whose past films with Sandler include “Click” and “The Waterboy,” keeps things moving but does not provide many laughs. The production*, shot in Georgia and South Africa by Julio Macat, with colorful design contributions from Perry Andelin Blake and Christine Wada, is good.(SD-Agencies)
