Critics Consensus

Nicely cast but clumsily directed, Blind Dating smothers its leads' chemistry in a wildly uneven and mostly unmemorable romantic comedy with far too little of either.

The romcom parts of this are well done: strong romantic leads, lots of funny dates with girls who are not right for the guy. The other half of the movie consists of reflections and jokes about being blind. So you don't get the full romcom experience, but some kind of mixed bag.

Puntaje Original: 3.5 Sigo sin entender que demonios queria hacer James keach en esta película; no solo es una historia llena de estereotipos y una absurda trama, sino que es un claro ejemplo de que cualquier persona cree que puede hacer una película.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was surprisingly heartfelt yet funny. Sure there were some cheesy moments, but who cares? The movie left me with a great feeling, and I am ready to watch it over anytime. Most of the actors gave an amazing performance, and Pine was amazing. I've seen him in some other movies and i never would've imagined him in this role, but he did a fantastic job! And Jay as well gave a wonderful performance,as did the rest of the cast. And the humor is quite funny too... I especially loved Danny's brand of humor- innocent and wry and somehow taking advantage of his situation without quite doing so. And Pine's laugh is just so magical. Did i mention that?

This is a silly and weird and kind of boring comedy. But it wasn't silly or weird or boring enough for me to want to turn it off. Because despite all this I still wanted to know what would happen next. But it isn't a movie I would recommend and I probably won't see it again.

Little White Lies

Blind 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.

Times (UK)

The whole thing ends with a jolly multicultural dance montage so gruesome that temporary blindness would be a blessed relief.

It's quite a bit like a bad date that audiences will desperately want to forget.

Digital Spy

While Pine is superb in the lead role, almost everything else fails to convince in this vastly uneven, unfunny and only sporadically dramatic enterprise.

Rated: 2/5

Elliott Noble

Sky Cinema

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.
