Blended 2: Family Safari – The Reunion (2025) is a heartwarming and hilarious sequel to the 2014 comedy Blended, reuniting Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore as Jim and Lauren in a new adventure full of wild mishaps, heartfelt family moments, and unexpected second chances.
Set nearly a decade after their unforgettable trip to Africa, Jim and Lauren are now fully blended: juggling teenagers, college applications, exes, and career changes. Their once-chaotic family dynamic has found its rhythm—mostly. But when the couple receives an invitation to a “Blended Families Safari Reunion” at the luxurious South African resort where they first fell in love, they decide to return, this time bringing their kids—older, sassier, and with romantic complications of their own.
What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway quickly turns into a whirlwind of awkward run-ins with old vacation friends, wild animal encounters, and generational clashes between the parents and their tech-obsessed, attitude-filled teens. Jim struggles to bond with his now more independent daughters, while Lauren tries to keep peace between her sons and their new step-siblings. Meanwhile, tensions rise when Jim’s ex-wife unexpectedly shows up—with her new fiancé in tow.
Adding to the fun is the return of Nickens (Terry Crews), the ever-dramatic resort host, who now runs a full-blown “blended bootcamp” for families, complete with musical numbers, trust falls, and elephant yoga. His over-the-top antics provide comic relief while sneakily delivering life advice—Crews-style.
Romance is also in the air as one of Jim’s daughters falls for a local guide, while Lauren’s son hides a secret relationship with someone back home. Amid the teenage drama, Jim and Lauren begin to realize they’ve been so focused on parenting and responsibilities that they’ve forgotten to nourish their own relationship. A classic Sandler-Barrymore-style miscommunication nearly derails their romantic spark—until a thunderstorm, a lost zebra, and a surprise vow renewal ceremony bring them back together.
Blended 2: Family Safari – The Reunion is packed with physical comedy, awkward parenting moments, heartfelt family lessons, and beautiful African scenery. With a mix of slapstick humor and real emotional warmth, the film reminds audiences that blending a family isn’t a one-time event—it’s a lifetime of growing, forgiving, and laughing through the chaos.
In the end, the family gathers around a campfire under the stars, reaffirming that love—like a good safari—is messy, unpredictable, and worth the ride.
