Blind Dating (2006)
2/10
Doesn't know what it wants to be
5 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Is it supposed to be a romantic comedy, a drama about interracial dating or perhaps a feel good story about a blind man wanting to see and finding something special instead? This movie is a train wreck and though it initially seems like a good concept, the execution is way off!! After watching this movie, I am still confused about what the viewer is supposed to see? It doesn't entertain (there are a lot of movies out there that do the same thing less painfully), it doesn't provide a message and it doesn't even excel at being a good romantic comedy. It seems that through using an old clichéd storyline (blind guy falls in love), a twist is put upon this but whether that pays off, really is a different story.

'Blind Dating' chronicles the life of a blind man, Johnny who at 22 realizes that he has yet to fall in love. After a string of horrible blind dates, he falls in love with a receptionist at the clinic which he is going to, she happens to be Indian, and therefore drama ensues.

I would recommend seeing this movie only if you are extremely bored or there is nothing else to watch. After watching this movie, I have wasted an hour or so of my time which I won't get back. The writer should have really done many more rewrites in this script, and although the execution of this movie begs you to like it - at the end you are left with nothing but an big empty hole.
