Unfortunately, there are a lot of lonely and disappointed people who cannot find a worthy life partner. The search for loved ones turns for them into the meaning of being and is the primary goal. For some, such behavior becomes a phobia and disaster only because they sacredly believe in one very ancient truth, which convinces us that with the arrival of a loved one everything in life changes for the better and the world begins to shine with bright colors. It is hard to argue with this, because love is the happiest and most valuable of the gifts of the Almighty. Everyone knows that only in love hardships and troubles are borne by a person much easier, quickly erasing the remnants of negativity from memory. The film, which will be discussed today, can be safely attributed to the pictures about the search for loved ones with all the ensuing details, incidents and humorous moments. On the agenda is the tape "Mixed" (2014): actors, plot and interesting facts about the filming process.
Director's idea
Frank Korachi, a well-known film director in Hollywood films, conceived the film Mixed as a story about desperate single people who are capable of much to change their social status. In the picture, young people decide on a blind date, or, more simply, on an acquaintance and dinner with a person about whom they know nothing at all. In addition to everything, it is worth noting that both young people already have family experience and several children of their own. Of course, such a plot is full of surprises and funny situations. But the film "Mixed" (2014), whose actors are loved and revered by many, would not have brought the director such success if it had not ended in a good way, in the best Hollywood traditions. It’s worth dwelling on its plot in more detail, because it’s also an adventure film full of romance, sparkling humor and color of the African continent with its unique animals.
The film "Mixed" (2014): actors and roles
The heroes of this story, Sam, played by Adam Sendler, and Lauren, her role was brilliantly played by Drew Barrymore, failing again on a blind date. An unlucky waiter brings by mistake for a girl a dish ordered by another person, to which Lauren immediately has a food allergy. The situation unsettles the girl, and the whole story with a romantic acquaintance ends in a complete fiasco. Further, the film "Mixed" (2014), whose actors were chosen by Frank Korachi for a reason, unfolds in the plot in the very opposite direction: from melodrama with comedy elements to an extreme journey through the African savannah, full of incredible adventures and exoticism.
Comedian, actor, director and composer
The tandem of actors (Adam Sendler and Drew Barrymore) has long established itself as successful, sparkling and memorable. Adam is a comedic character who can make a film interesting only because of his participation in it. His career in Hollywood began with a role in the movie "The Shown Clown", and to date, Sandler is popular and in demand on the path of art: he has over 50 acting roles, a huge number of independently produced projects and even musical works.
Spielberg's goddaughter
Drew Barrymore, who has become Sendler's almost constant companion in popular American comedy films, is the legendary Hollywood film star, model, producer, and film director. Many people remember her from the films "Alien" and "Charlie's Angels." By the way, Drew is the goddaughter of Stephen Spielberg and Sophia Loren himself. She appeared on the screen quite at a young age, and over the course of her career she overcame many difficulties. One of them can be considered child alcoholism, which developed due to the huge number of parties and the glory girl leaning on the fragile shoulders. True, Drew overcame this addiction, becoming for many a role model. Now she shines in many successful projects, and the film "Mixed" (2014), the actors of which we are discussing today, is no exception.
When everyone is important
The success of the movie is always the united work of the whole team. In the story about Lauren and Sam, this truth should be taken literally, because not all directors venture to shoot animals: such work is incredibly complicated and even dangerous in some cases. In the film Mixed (2014), the actors and the crew were in the wild. In some situations, I had to work to the limit of my capabilities, but the team coped with the task. It is worth saying that in the episode where Lauren flies by parachute, Barrymore refused an understudy and did not even call a stuntman, wanting to complete the whole trick on her own. It is worth giving her credit, because the Hollywood diva showed everyone excellent physical fitness.
Budget, box office and rewards
The screenwriters of the film Mixed (2014), directed by Frank Korachi, are Ivan Menchell and Claire Serra. They also applied all their hidden and overt talents, creating a story that millions of people around the world have been able to appreciate. The budget of the films amounted to $ 40 million, and box office reached 128 million. It is worth saying that the work of Korachi did not bring an Oscar, was awarded the famous Golden Raspberry losers award.
