Such a frustrating disappointment
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I find this a very amusing movie about dating, i am owner of speedydating.nl and a lot experience about dating. This movie make all issues pass by. Nice. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has interest about dating. I would be a good idea to make another movie about this. Chris Pine makes this movie rock. It would be nice to see him in the next movie. What i like a lot that all aspect of dating are played on, many situations in the dating branche, you will see in this movie. What even would be more great, is that when a man and woman separate date each other. So there are 2 movies from 2 two kind of views.
Romantic comedies have been so overdone that new ones try exotic and obscure twists to draw in their audience.In Blind Dating, not only is Danny (Chris Pine) blind, he's a virgin. Get it? He's literally blind dating. Although he's quite the hottie, girls are either repulsed by Danny's handicap or feel sorry for him.The story is a bizarre-yet-bland mix of Bend It Like Beckham, American Pie and that '99 Val Kilmer dud At First Sight.If you didn't catch At First Sight (and you wouldn't be alone), Kilmer played a blind masseuse who falls in love with Mira Sorvino and undergoes a revolutionary surgery to regain his sight.That's the basic plot line here, with touches of cross-cultural dating and raunchy sex comedy thrown in haphazardly. Danny spends half the film nervously dating the women his brother Larry (Pie's Eddie Kaye Thomas) sets him up with, including not one but two hookers, while also seeing a therapist (Jane Seymour) who inexplicably doffs her clothes once Danny starts speaking of his women troubles.He spends the other half falling in love with his eye doctor's receptionist, Leeza (Anjali Jay), who is the catalyst for him to have surgery to regain his sight. Leeza is Indian and is preparing for an arranged marriage to Arvind (Heroes' Sendhil Ramamurthy), but she finds a connection with Danny.The chemistry between Leeza and Danny is the only saving grace of this messy film. It's almost as if the writers couldn't stand to just watch them sweetly fall in love.Thomas plays Larry as a Sopranos-obsessed pimp, desperate for his brother to get laid. Funny in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, not so amusing here. Director James Keach is married to Seymour, which explains her presence but not her cougar-like character. Again, funny when she played that character on How I Met Your Mother, not so funny here.The cultural differences between Leeza and Danny aren't insignificant, but there's no time or effort spent for them to get their full due. It's a case of too many ingredients ruining the dish. Plus, Danny's family is supposed to be Italian Jersey Catholics, but because the movie was filmed in Utah and their accents come in and out, it has no authenticity.Just like the rest of this clutter. http://www.free6xxx.org
Reading the title and seeing the cover made me think this was one of those "American Pie" movies. En contraire mes amis, this movie made me laugh and feel sad at the same time.The story of Danny's life (pretty darn well written) was touching. The story tells you how wonderful and sad true love can be at the same time. It makes you feel how less fortunate people go through life.This movie is pure human, and that's what I liked about it.If you like a good story with some funny and touching moments, I would definitely recommend this one as it's one of the better ones I've seen out there.
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.
