When nerdy Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is fixed up with sexy, soft-spoken Nadia (Kim Basinger) in order to impress his associates a high-powered corporate dinner, he thinks it'll get him ahead in the company. But Nadia has a drinking problem--it only takes one drink to make her go completely crazy, and she has that one drink. Over the course of the night, Nadia's behavior will cause Walter to lose his job and get beaten up, arrested, and chased across town boy Nadia's homicidally jealous former fiance (John Larroquette). But somewhere along the line, Walter and Nadia may even decide that they like each other!

Reviews
Hir or miss, but a couple of the gags that do hit are screamingly funny. A bit involving Graham Stark's butler and a doberman had me howling uncontrollably.
Blind Date is a funny movie, but only in parts. As a Sunday afternoon Superstation timewaster, it'll do the job every bit as well as an episode of Moonlighting or Night Court.
Comic possibilities are everywhere in Blind Date, and the tireless Mr. Edwards leaves none of them unexploited.
