Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Warrants a full swipe left. It completely whiffs on its potential and fails to deliver much by way of comedy or an engaging romance. Rated: 3/10 May 20, 2024 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post 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. Rated: 1/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review LaNeysha Campbell But Why Tho? A Geek Community Five Blind Dates leans too hard into romantic comedy cliches, so much so it drowns itself in it. But it is not all bad. Rated: 6/10 Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Anthony Morris ScreenHub 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 Rated: 4/5 Feb 14, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller Geek Vibes Nation This rom-com spills the tea. Rated: 5/10 Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut Despite a promising cast and premise, the film lacks comedy and relatable, believable romance. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel G 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review R C A typical rom com that plays on Chinese cultural tropes with untraditional possibilities based in Australia. Not groundbreaking. Cringy moments with a predictable ending. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Libby C "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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review D L 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Norma V It's the kind of movie that you just want to watch something that wouldn't upset you. Time to kill, my silly, I don't want to think movies, just watch don't analyze. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Katie E The most average and predictable romance movie I've seen in years. And this is coming from someone with a low bar for a trashy romcoms. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
