Reviews for Blind Dating
Top CriticBlind Dating also manages to be an incredibly muddled 95 minutes in which emotions are replaced by aggressive music cues to force the viewer to care for characters that are paper thin at best.
09/18/09
Pleasant but forgettable, it’s destined to end up as little more than a minor footnote on Pine’s megastar CV.
09/18/09
Top CriticThe whole thing ends with a jolly multicultural dance montage so gruesome that temporary blindness would be a blessed relief.
09/18/09
Top CriticThe standard of acting and directing is at a very low ebb.
09/18/09
Top CriticWhile Pine is superb in the lead role, almost everything else fails to convince in this vastly uneven, unfunny and only sporadically dramatic enterprise.
09/18/09
Small wonder this hard-to-swallow cocktail of bawdy comedy, cross-cultural romance and issue-of-the-week melodrama was left on the shelf for three years. The marketing people can’t have had a clue what to do with it.
09/18/09
This is harmless, breezy fluff.
09/18/09
It's Pine that keeps the whole thing afloat, and he manages, astonishingly, to make even the clunkiest, cheesiest lines work, almost transforming the film's chocolate-box sentiments into something honest.
09/18/09
An uneven mixture of crude high jinks and sweet romance, this just about makes the grade thanks to its breezy geniality and Pine’s charismatic performance as Danny.
09/18/09
Blind Dating is a flawed but essentially likeable romantic comedy that succeeds thanks to a charming performance by rising star Chris Pine.
09/18/09
An inoffensively bland piece of rom-com fluff.
09/18/09
This film wavers between a sweet rom-com, a gross-out romp and a drama about diversity. Thanks to a strong cast, these three elements work on their own, but struggle to make much sense together.

Top Criticmixes too many issues
08/18/08
ambles along to no great effect but has a few chuckles along the way. No harm, no foul.
06/13/08
A forgettable slice of hackneyed romance.
02/17/08
The fact that Blind Dating provides a relationship between two characters whom the audience desperately wants to see wind up together is ultimately all that matters.
05/11/07
It's not preachy or weepy. Instead, it's a lively yet meaningful romantic comedy that doesn't lose sight of its central mission: to entertain.
05/11/07
Christopher Theo's script aims for American Pie raunch, which doesn't work in a watered-down PG-13 form.
