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! Blake Edwards skillfully conducts a talented cast through a maze of comedically complex set pieces in this over-the-top comedy. [More]

A sex farce with flat characters trapped within '80s sensibilities...

This is the kind of movie that serves as a reminder that comedy is agonizingly difficult when it works, and even more trouble when it doesn't.

A guilty pleasure from Willis and Bassinger's glory days!

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.

This is something special, even among its ilk. Frighteningly bad.

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.

When Edwards misfires, he misfires big.

Comic possibilities are everywhere in Blind Date, and the tireless Mr. Edwards leaves none of them unexploited.

Edwards seems to be running out of ideas and his films seem to have less and less care lavished on each.
