When bachelor Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is set up with his sister-in-law's pretty cousin, Nadia Gates (Kim Basinger), a seemingly average blind date turns into a chaotic night on the town. Walter's brother, Ted (Phil Hartman), tells him not to let Nadia drink alcohol, but he dismisses the warning, and her behavior gets increasingly wild. Walter and Nadia's numerous incidents are made even worse as her former lover David (John Larroquette) relentlessly follows them around town.

Critics Consensus

Blind Date has all the ingredients for a successful madcap comedy, but the end results suggest director Blake Edwards has lost his once-reliable touch.

4/4

Rambo, the family Great Dane, provides the film with some of its funniest visual and aural gags.

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

What this movie needs is Cybill Shepherd playing hard to get. Or anybody playing hard to get.

As Edwards well understand, the perfect farcical situation creates mayhem in staid, highly structured social situations.

There are pratfalls aplenty and enough animal antics to elicit a few giggles, but Willis and Basinger never quite bring the necessary spark to the roles and the film disappears as fast as a bag of popcorn.

2/4

[Blu-ray Review] Increasingly contrived and longwinded at just 95 minutes, this is the kind of film that has been helmed with skill despite lackluster material.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I don't understand why this movie was panned so viciously. It's hysterical & I don't usually like physical, "slap stick" comedy. Bruce Willis plays the straight guy to Kim Bassinger's "Train Wreck". I take it for what it is, a movie with a shallow storyline & weak script that is saved by the two appealing leads in their prime (Cause let's face it. That's 'bout the last movie Bruce had most of his hair in). I get lots of LOLs & don't have to burn any neurons following the plot. Done & Done!

Off the wall romantic comedy sees Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger as they navigate their first date together. John Larroquette stands out as Basinger's obsessive ex.

Once again, Blind Date is one of those movies I finally watched because the poster fascinated me when I was a kid. And, once again, the movie did not live up to the poster's potential. Bruce Willis has charisma, and Kim Basinger has charm, but the comedy falls flat, and the plot is all over the place. The story is almost like a romantic comedy version of Gremlins, where if you don’t follow the rules, chaos ensues. To be honest, I don’t really find Blake Edward’s films that funny, so I shouldn’t be surprised that Blind Date didn’t make a great impression on me. I don’t think I’ll be taking it out again.

It's just God awful. Never wanted to spend my time watching Bruce willis acquiesced to an undeserving women consistently from one scene to the next. Really just disjointed picture who's comedic beats go entirely unregistered. In a way it was ahead of its time with its depiction of Western women though.
