Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
There are several good, interesting ideas that could have been explored in this movie - one is a blind young man, interested in a serious relationship and wanting to have sex with meaning -- who doesn't view himself as attractive -- and how he goes about pursuing that relationship and what happens along the way. This movie could play as a drama with comedy or a comedy with drama. Another way it could have gone is the experience of a blind young man who undergoes experimental surgery and the outcome and difficulties encountered along the way. More than likely this would be mostly a drama. Finally, there's the relationship between a blind man and a sighted woman, a romance based movie, either drama or comedy, or the relationship between a Caucasian American male and an female of Indian descent from a very traditional Indian family, and the difficulties they would encounter along the way, again a drama with some comedy more than likely.Unfortunately, this movie overreached it grasp. There were some very good moments: the basketball game with the friend, the parents at the hospital while they await the outcome of the surgery, etc. But the whole isn't even a sum of these parts -- it's a combination of movies that do not cohere in a way that one can call a success.Its unfortunate: the idea of a romance comedy that isn't simplistic, Boy meets Girl, Boy and Girl find love, encounter hindrance, break-up, but Love Wins Out, is a trite, tired formula. This movie had the promise to be a bit more than that, as DEFINITELY, MAYBE attempted and succeeded earlier this year. A longer running time would have helped and a better screenplay.The performances was reasonably solid for the budget. Technically, the film is fine, location wise and situation some interesting choices. The biggest weakness is the plot, story and script.Chris Pine deserves some better roles, to see what he can actually make with something more complex and intelligent. Some excellent character actors are wasted, although their performances are fine. There are some unfortunate and unnecessary stereotypes with both the Indian characters and the females set-ups that the Larry character attempts to hook up with Chris Pine's role as Danny.
I just saw Blind Dating, and I really liked it. It was fairly well acted and, more importantly, it had heart.What I'm confused about is the cover to the film, it looks like a teenage movie with hot girls and bad jokes, but it's everything but. Chris Pine's portrait of a blind guy seems very real to me, and I really felt for him throughout the whole movie. The story is somewhat obvious, and not that inventive, but it has a point, and even though it's sometimes a little cliché it's still very decent and enjoyable. (After all IT IS a comedy/drama, there just has to bee some parts we all know.)Everybody are just human, after all. It doesn't matter if you are visually impaired, what skin color you have or what your heritage is. Watch this flick if you want to feel a little better.
Is it supposed to be a romantic comedy, a drama about interracial dating or perhaps a feel good story about a blind man wanting to see and finding something special instead? This movie is a train wreck and though it initially seems like a good concept, the execution is way off!! After watching this movie, I am still confused about what the viewer is supposed to see? It doesn't entertain (there are a lot of movies out there that do the same thing less painfully), it doesn't provide a message and it doesn't even excel at being a good romantic comedy. It seems that through using an old clichéd storyline (blind guy falls in love), a twist is put upon this but whether that pays off, really is a different story.'Blind Dating' chronicles the life of a blind man, Johnny who at 22 realizes that he has yet to fall in love. After a string of horrible blind dates, he falls in love with a receptionist at the clinic which he is going to, she happens to be Indian, and therefore drama ensues.I would recommend seeing this movie only if you are extremely bored or there is nothing else to watch. After watching this movie, I have wasted an hour or so of my time which I won't get back. The writer should have really done many more rewrites in this script, and although the execution of this movie begs you to like it - at the end you are left with nothing but an big empty hole.
I think this was a beautiful and heart warming romantic comedy. If you like feel good movies this is one to watch,and i really have to say that Chris Pine has the most beautiful eyes.I saw this on my birthday and it was definitely worth it.Danny is an intelligent, confident, GORGEOUS young man who also happens to be blind. Not that he's letting that hold him back--for the most part, Danny refuses to let his visual impairment get in the way of anything. Which is why Danny's girl-crazy, limo-driving brother Larry is horrified to discover that Danny is shy and nervous when it comes to the opposite sex, his brother tries to set him up on a variety of disastrous blind dates.
