MOVIEEEE!!!!

         

BLENDED

It's a movie mostly about family.A single father with 3 pretty girls of his and a single mother with 2 proactive boys of hers.They went for a first date somewhere in HOOTERS after knowing each other through the net (blind date).They found their relationship will not go far right on their first date.Both of this cheeky parents planned on vacation for their kids,however their we meant to bumped on each other in Africa.Got up things wrongly "you followed me to Africa?".A hard time went on for about a few minutes..Jim(single father) treat his daughters as if they are boys.From the hair till the way they act are exactly like a boy.Till one day on the vacation ,larry the eldest fell in love with a guy and she tend to change herself and Laura(single mother) caught her looking at the hensem guy.Laura gave a hand in changing her hair style;she gave her salon date to larry.There were more positive changes between this 2 fanilies and they tend to get into each other.In the end,it's cliche in most of the movies where Jim and Laura fell in love and they were together.

What I would say bout this story is,it might be good to some people and might not..to me there's plenty of good things people could imply to them especially to those who get divorce and need someone to take care of the kids.A dad kind of not to know every single stuff bout their daughter well I'm not saying they know nothing but mom is the best person in understanding girls stuff as hiw potrayed in this movie.Moreover,blended family need tolaration between each member in order to stay concord.I love this movie cause it is entertaining and kind of childish or maybe more towards finding a person who can replace the place of the person you love so that you won't feel lonely but however,this replacement does not change the perseption your first love will always be the first.
