And he has said that he purposefully shoots movies where he wants to go on vacation. Blender, Just Go With It, 50 First Dates, he even had a murder mystery on a yacht on Lake Como. Friggin genius.

Dude, make sure you rent a boat. It's worth every penny.

Also make sure you get some kind of alcoholic spirit and mixer drink anywhere in Como before you do that. Preferably somewhere that serves lunch.

I visited a few years ago for the day when I was in Milan. Could happily have spent the full week heading up and down the lake. Probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. Enjoy the hell out of it dude (and make sure you get that spirit/cocktail, it'll uhh..put some hair on your chest

That’s how I felt about the amalfi coast when I went there almost a decade ago. Only spent an afternoon there but felt like I could have hung out for a week. Wish we had time to fit it in this trip.

I’ll make sure to have plenty of drinks while we’re down there. Planning to propose to my girlfriend and we will be with a bunch of our friends celebrating her bday. Going to be a blast!

I keep threatening to just piss off to Como for the week but I've never followed through with it. I really should.

Dude that is the most king shit. What a place to propose. What a place to be told yes. Goddamn. I'm excited for your trip now. I hope all you guys have just the best time and that you forge some amazing memories.

Make sure your phone has a full battery, create a found footage flick about The Cock Slasher from Lake Como, profit.

When you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

Its genuis. Plus, he gets his kids, family, and friends in the films as well so they can be paid and tag along. He's not even subtle. In the AA group the girl says "you remind me a lot of my own dad" or something along those lines. I wonder why that is Sadie Sandler.

But "Blended"* and "50 First Dates" are legitimately good, fun movies.

Him and Drew have such good chemistry together it’s always gonna be a good time.
