"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.

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.

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.

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.

It's really fun and charming! I genuinely laughed several times! It helps to know ahead of time it's not highly rated. It's just a fun journey

Movie Nation

A rigidly fomulaic, stunningly dull rom-com with nary a whiff of “rom” and barely a nod towards “com.”

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

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

Despite a promising cast and premise, the film lacks comedy and relatable, believable romance.
