  Blind Dating (2006)
A blind young man (Pine) thinks he finds love with an Indian woman (Jay), though their relationship is fraught with cultural differences.
Additionally, there is not one single iota of genuine wit, emotion, or originality in even one frame of this odious film.
Worse than that the film is insulting to every group it portrays: blind people, Italian-American, African-Americans, Indian-Americans, limousine drivers, therapists.

  Blind Date - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blind Date is the name of a British dating game show and an American reality show.
The dates are often unsuccessful, and this, too, appears to add to the enjoyment of the viewers.
Certain dates are described as "Dates from Hell" and the show frequently concludes with an excerpt from the show's "Hall of Shame." The show features, and is primary aimed at young adults.

 Blind Date - UKGameshows   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The short film of the week tended to show their good sides, but it was the bit afterwards that was the funny part.
In 1998, the journey for one Blind Date was all planned, all the crew were ready to go and film it, everyone had their passports.
The choice was shown to be apparently random because some of the blind dates during the series were for exotic locations, and others were for a week in Skegness or similar.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | ITV denies Blind Date rumours
Blind Date's producers have denied reports that daytime TV host Trisha Goddard was being lined up to replace Cilla Black as the long-running show's presenter.

 BLIND DATE: UNCENSORED - DVD
For the uninitiated: cameras follow a couple apparently arbitrarily but more often, one imagines, cruelly matched on their first date, and, in the vein of pop-up video, word balloons and subtitles provide patronizing though often uproarious and surreal commentary on the proceedings.
A jumble of excerpts, then, "blind date: UNCENSORED" is actually more of a best-of than an outtake compilation, the uncensored footage tempered with less controversial material that aired intact, and while the 42-minute running time may sound short for the money, the length satiates a porn appetite and leaves room for future volumes.
Less is certainly more when dealing with the exhibitionists who sign up for "blind date", and for as entertaining the show is, its frequent deterioration into amateur erotica speaks to a Warholian desperation that can be surprisingly asexual, as it's all just mugging.

Bottoms becomes traumatically blind after witnessing his object of desire with another man, and so has a computer embedded in his brain.
Unfortunately not enough is made of this blurring of the interface between man and machine; and the key concept of voyeurism is kept strictly on the exploitative level.

 Movie Review - Blind Date (1987) - eFilmCritic
While the humor that does work in Blind Date is genuinely 'oh my god' funny (and some of it really is that good), for the most part it seems to be merely a star vehicle designed to get two TV stars on screen with a Bond Girl.
Blind Date's third act routine of slamming doors, pratfalls, changing rooms and 'where did she go' confusion is straight out of Edwards' Victor/Victoria, not to mention any of the Marx Brothers' better works.
Blind Date is a simple concept played out in a most simple way, with seemingly little care about trying to do anything more than finish the thing.

The good people of Blind Date set her up with Chad, a twentysomething surfer wannabe with a questionable amount of hair growth under his nose.
While background information and conversation snippets are used to engage the viewer in the lives of the participants, the producers are whiz kids at reducing the participants to their primitive sexuality.
Blind Date might not quite hold up the mirror to nature sufficiently to be dubbed cultural anthropology, but it does strike a very common vein.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Blind Date
Blind Date is a typical Blake Edwards movie, which is to say that it features plenty of pratfalls, sight gags, and awkward moments.
The second half of the film opts for a more dynamic premise, as Nadia plans to marry smarmy attorney David (John Larroquette) while Walter re-examines his life after getting fired, all leading to a conclusion ripped from Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934) — but it's hard to care.
Blind Date only has apocryphal value as a look at Bruno's nascent, smirking persona, Basinger's stab at comedy after her steamy turn in 9-1/2 Weeks (1986), and the charms of John Larroquette, Phil Hartman, and William Daniels, all successful TV stars who made little impact on feature films.

 Amazon.ca: Blind Date (Widescreen): DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This film is very amateurish and tries to be an erotic thriller, but never gets there because the characters are flat and the dialogue is wretchedly mundane and doesn't cut to the heart.
A big problem with this film is that it is so obviously in love with women as objects and not as characters, this is one main problem, lots of naked women and killing with no set-up.
The dvd extras are quite good, with a very comprehensive film history of the director, including some outtakes of this film which include even lengthier nudity from Kirstie during her sex scene, some of which had been trimmed for the final print.

 The Blind Date Leading the Blind
Dates were set through the non-confrontational mediums of phone and note passing.
The "date" of yore, previously regarded as a function to facilitate a relationship, had morphed into the Blind Date-influenced "mega date," a format where people paired up in snazzy clothes to trade off-color insults.
Traits like charm and a nice sense of humor have been overtaken by "fuckability" and "in-your-faceness." Blind Date took something that I had once enjoyed heartily — the homespun rituals and coyness of the great American date — and morphed it into a loud, flashy, aggressive show of debauchery.

I've seen worse so I was still able to sit through it and besides, it's loaded with typical nondescript 1980's music by unknown acts (at least here in the States, probably), bad acting, bad photography, bad special effects, bad writing and bad directing, so watching it was a kind of excercise in sadomasochistic patience.

About halfway through Blind Date, after the titular rendezvous has passed, Edwards stops pulling literal De Palmas (or Hitchcocks, as it were: there's an homage to Vertigo when Walter meets Nadia that's very close to clever) on the material.
The film becomes blander for being suddenly overedited, settling into the quick-react rhythm of modern sitcoms.
The only extra is Blind Date's trailer, featuring Walter on the telephone with his brother (the dearly-departed Phil Hartman) from jail, a framing device that apparently wound up on the cutting room floor.
