Product Description Blind Dating is a hilarious comedy about Danny (Chris Pine), an intelligent, confident, handsome young man who also happens to be blind. Not that he's letting that hold him back -- for the most part, Danny refuses to let his visual impairment get in the way of anything. He's one of the most popular guys in town, and is even an ace at basketball. Which is why Danny's girl-crazy, limo-driving brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is horrified to discover that Danny is not only shy and nervous when it comes to the opposite sex, he's also a virgin. Determined to help Danny have his first sexual experience, his brother Larry sets up a series of hysterically disastrous blind dates with shallow girls that can?t seem to get past his sight impairment. Danny is all but ready to give up on love, until he meets a pretty young East Indian nurse named Leeza (Anjali Jay), who works at the office of his eye doctor. The two seem made for each other -- until Leeza reveals that she has been promised to another man in an arranged marriage. The film also stars Jane Seymour, who plays Danny's psychologist and has a penchant for disrobing during their sessions together. .com A romantic comedy disguised as an American Pie-type sex romp, Blind Dating tells the story of a sweet young blind man who falls for a woman who is engaged to be married. Hottie Chris Pine plays Danny, who has never had a serious girlfriend. His annoying but well-meaning brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas, American Pie) is intent on helping Danny lose his virginity by hooking him up with several inappropriate women. Then there's Dr. Evans (Jane Seymour), Danny's unorthodox therapist who has the odd habit of undressing as he talks about his dates. Though the scenes are played for laughs, there's something inherently creepy about them since Dr. Evans clearly needs to take a class on boundaries. Blind Dating has an uneven feel because it's trying to be too many things at the same time. It would've fared better had it concentrated less on Larry's shenanigans and more on the budding romance between Danny and Leeza (Anjali Jay), the receptionist at Danny's eye doctor's office. Because one of the central characters is blind, and another works for an optometrist, it is giving nothing away to say that part of the plot involves a surgical procedure that could potentially restore Danny's eyesight. It would've been nice to learn more about Leeza's Indian background; the film implies that the marriage her parents have arranged for her is a bad one (and it probably is). But it would've been interesting to see the family presented as more than caricatures. While not a great film, Blind Dating has some sweet moments, courtesy of Pine and Jay. --Jae-Ha Kim

Movie
This was a very touching movie. Always when dealing with disabilities it helps others to be more sensitive to the plight of others trapped in an unforgiving dilemma. So pull up ones boot straps and find the path to happiness when faced with life's challenges. I had an Uncle that faced a serious physical problem but his heart was always so forgiving and found joy in the important things of life. He held a job when others couldn't get one. He gave from his pocket to others less fortunate and he loved you and cried with you when you hurt. This movie was very good I love the cast and crew that did a great job telling this story

It does a good job of showing cultural differences and handicaps where relationships ...
Cute movie. It does a good job of showing cultural differences and handicaps where relationships are concerned. I was expecting more from a movie proclaiming to be a romance.

Naughty but charming
I enjoyed this romantic comedy directed by James Keach (The Long Riders) and starring Chris Pine (Smokin' Aces) and Eddie Kaye Thomas ( American Pie ). It's difficult to come across a film that not only makes you really laugh but also touches your heart on the journey. I could understand how hard it would be telling a story about a blind person and the odd humorous circumstances they may find themselves in trying to go on blind date (No pun intended) and being politically corrected as to distract one from the story. Well they did it perfectly here with this little gem. If you like Wedding Crashers and Sleepless in Seattle, you will love this story!

Disoraganized;Inaccurate;Bad Humor
I did not enjoy this film. I feel like the film poked fun at people who are blind, and made it sound like some un-livable curse. Besides that, the whole idea of the procedure to make the blind main character see again is not believable; when he first "sees", he says he can see white and black, and a square shape. He's been blind his entire life! He wouldn't know what he was seeing at all! Let alone what colors or shapes he's seeing!I think his desire for a relationship was believable and realistic, but again, I think the women he dated were written into the story to poke fun more than anything, and the result was not in the least bit funny. His relationship with the Indian woman from the clinic was honest and believable, but I think her family problems were distracting from the main character's story, and that angle wasn't very interesting.

Another Piney Plus!!!!
Chris Pine is absolutely adorable as a young blind man trying to find his way into a crazy world. He has a wonderful family, and solid friends. What he wants is a lady to call his own. The title is misleading because if you didn't know Danny was blind, it sounds like a frat brothers setting each other up for a score. Instead, it's anything but that. Chris delivers a wonderful performance, and of course, he gets the girl in the end. Sigh….. a must see for any Chris Pine fan - or for anyone who loves a sweet, charming love story.
