The Empty Nest, Interrupted: Honeymoon Havoc
The beautifully complicated Friedman-Reynolds clan is officially back, and their family tree has never been more hilariously tangled. Blended 2: The Honeymoon Crashers reunites the iconic comedic pairing of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore for a laugh-out-loud exploration of the “empty nest” that, much to their dismay, just isn’t quite empty enough.
Twelve years after their chaotic but heartwarming African adventure, Jim (Sandler) and Lauren (Barrymore) have finally raised their combined brood and decide it’s time for the ultimate payoff. They book the romantic, desperately needed, kids-free honeymoon they never had to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary: a luxurious, secluded two-week stay at an exclusive, pristine resort deep in the Italian Dolomites.
The Adult Children Strike Back
Jim and Lauren manage approximately 72 hours of peace before their well-intentioned but disastrously clumsy adult children decide to stage the ultimate “surprise.” Led by the neurotic energy of the older kids, the entire blended family descends upon the tranquil European haven, instantly turning the dream vacation into a nightmare of lost luggage mishaps, massive cultural misunderstandings, and high-stakes relationship drama.
Bella Thorne returns as Hilary, now an adult, high-strung bride-to-be whose own meticulously planned destination wedding has completely imploded (think runaway flower girls and a destroyed wedding dress). She arrives seeking comfort, but instead drags the entire family into her frantic mess, forcing Jim and Lauren to mediate bridal meltdowns instead of sipping prosecco.
The Return of the Unstoppable Nickens
And just when Jim and Lauren think the noise and chaos couldn’t possibly escalate, a familiar, booming voice echoes across the Italian villa. Terry Crews returns as the irrepressible, musically gifted Nickens. This time, he is no longer running the African resort; he is the charismatic, over-the-top leader of a spectacular, synchronized European Cabaret Choir that has been booked as the resort’s nightly entertainment.
Nickens and his choir don’t just perform; they hilariously narrate the Friedman-Reynolds family’s every embarrassing argument, romantic misstep, and slapstick failure through elaborately choreographed song and dance numbers, turning their private vacation into a loud, public musical production.
Packed with Sandler’s signature physical slapstick, Barrymore’s genuine heart, and Crews’s explosive energy, Blended 2 proves that while their children may have grown up, the chaos has only amplified. In this loud, loving, and perpetually messy family, love means never having a single, quiet moment of silence.
