I really liked the lead girl and it's a cute enough rom-com Go to Full Review

Warrants a full swipe left. It completely whiffs on its potential and fails to deliver much by way of comedy or an engaging romance. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post 05/09/2024
1/5
Despite its almost entirely Asian-Australian cast, and an engaging central performance from Hu, Five Blind Dates is painfully devoid of serious laughs or genuine romance. The courtship it depicts is tired and unconvincing. Go to Full Review

Five Blind Dates leans too hard into romantic comedy cliches, so much so it drowns itself in it. But it is not all bad. Go to Full Review

While Five Blind Dates leans a little too hard on the cliches at first, once the characters settle in this becomes a film where familiarity breeds a lot of fun Go to Full Review

Xiaoqui C Mar 8 I appreciate this movie so much more now given that I just witnessed a horrible adaptation of it lol, I’d much prefer this! See more Matthew P 12/07/2024 Completely laugh-free... so unless the Asian-Australian angle is something you'd like to see in an Australian rom-com, avoid... See more Daniel G 08/10/2024 So many RomComs now available with the streaming services that in some ways they're all quite similar. But I liked the dynamics of this and the Chinese culture angle in Australia. In particular, I really thought the tea shop was so quaint and the main protagonist shone brightly on screen. See more R C @originalsalt 05/26/2024 A typical rom com that plays on Chinese cultural tropes with untraditional possibilities based in Australia. Not groundbreaking. Cringy moments with a predictable ending. See more Libby C 04/07/2024 "Five Blind Dates" is a quintessential cheesy romance that leans heavily on clichés and predictable plot twists. While some may find its sweetness endearing, others may find it overly saccharine. Despite its flaws, it offers a lighthearted escape for fans of the genre. See more D L 02/26/2024 Five Blind Dates is a beautiful, intelligent and uplifting romantic comedy. There's many original jokes. You'll be bursting out loud at the most unlikely moments, but it never distracts from the poignant moments. Shuang Hu's Lia is vulnerable, yet heroic. She can play along, but also take responsibility. She faces choices rather than being swept along by fate. She can make a spectacular scene or deliver an emotional punch with equal ease. The standard rom-com tropes are not here - no grand romantic gesture, no makeover reveal or profound thesis on love. Five Blind Dates is fast-paced, original and entertaining - more smiles than tears. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
