However, when they separately sign up for a family vacation in Africa with their individual kids, they are forced to share a suite which may end up bringing both families together…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore were great together in The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, which could mean good news for their pairing in this new Happy Madison comedy.
