it's amazing to me that a society which has mastered the concept of fire is capable of making a film this bad. Too insipidly, cloyingly cutesy to be edgy, too crass, juvenile and vulgar to be cute, and not funny enough to be either.
Additionally, there is not one single iota of genuine wit, emotion, or originality in even one frame of this odious film. It's as someone took "At First Sight", "Daredevil", "My Big fat Greek Wedding" and "Bend Like Beckham" (among others) and threw them in a blender. Worse than that the film is insulting to every group it portrays: blind people, Italian-American, African-Americans, Indian-Americans, limousine drivers, therapists. Even the portrayal of prostitutes is somehow beneath the dignity of the profession.
The ludicrous, predictable plot would be easily forgivable. After all, this is a romantic comedy. We're there to have fun and feel good. But this film sabotages itself so completely with violent swings from saccharine to sleazy that it's just about unwatchable. It's not just bad, it's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" bad. There is no justice if it doesn't reach the IMDb's worst list.
Considering that director James Keach and producer/co-star Jane Seymour have done good work in the past, this is all the more painful. A truly horrendous, painful movie-going experience. It was an insult to my backside that it had to sit through this. When I die and go the Hell, I can say "No thnaks. i saw 'Blind Dating.'"
