Synopsis

Walter Davis is a workaholic. His attention is all to his work and very little to his personal life or appearance. Now he needs a date to take to his company's business dinner with a new important Japanese client. His brother sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia, who is new in town and wants to socialize, but he was warned that if she gets drunk, she loses control and becomes wild. How will the date turn out - especially when they encounter Nadia's ex-boyfriend David?

Critics' reviews

"Is the movie worth seeing? Gee, I dunno. Most of the time I wasn't laughing. But when I was laughing, I was genuinely laughing (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Edwards's complete enthusiasm for the form creates a comic style so avid that it's slightly surreal"

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
With a better script and better on-screen fizz, this might have been a date worth remembering. As it is, move on and put this one down to experience (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
"If Blind Date is soft and simple at its core, it is certainly the sharpest, funniest film Edwards has made since Victor/Victoria"

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
"Blake Edwards directs this unfunny farce, a banal boozer's comedy that relies on the comedic e'clat of Basinger: basically, Barbie doing standup."

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
