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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2009

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.

Full Review | Sep 18, 2009

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 18, 2009

The standard of acting and directing is at a very low ebb.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 18, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2009

This is harmless, breezy fluff.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2009

It's Pine that keeps the whole thing afloat, and he manages, astonishingly, to make even the clunkiest, cheesiest lines work, almost transforming the film's chocolate-box sentiments into something honest.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2009

An uneven mixture of crude high jinks and sweet romance, this just about makes the grade thanks to its breezy geniality and Pine's charismatic performance as Danny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2009

Blind Dating is a flawed but essentially likeable romantic comedy that succeeds thanks to a charming performance by rising star Chris Pine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2009

An inoffensively bland piece of rom-com fluff.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2009

This film wavers between a sweet rom-com, a gross-out romp and a drama about diversity. Thanks to a strong cast, these three elements work on their own, but struggle to make much sense together.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2009

mixes too many issues

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 18, 2008

ambles along to no great effect but has a few chuckles along the way. No harm, no foul.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2008

A forgettable slice of hackneyed romance.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 17, 2008

The fact that Blind Dating provides a relationship between two characters whom the audience desperately wants to see wind up together is ultimately all that matters.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 11, 2007

It's not preachy or weepy. Instead, it's a lively yet meaningful romantic comedy that doesn't lose sight of its central mission: to entertain.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 11, 2007

Christopher Theo's script aims for American Pie raunch, which doesn't work in a watered-down PG-13 form.
