Though Danny refuses to let his visual deficiency keep him from enjoying every aspect of life, he does shy away from women. When his brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas) discovers Danny is a virgin, he makes every effort to lift that burden from him. Although a series of dates goes very wrong in a number of ways, Danny eventually meets a nurse (Anjali Jay), who agrees to go out with him, although her Indian family may prove a greater hindrance to their happiness than his medical condition. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Pleasant but forgettable, it's destined to end up as little more than a minor footnote on Pine's megastar CV.
-
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
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.
-
Annemarie Moody, Arizona Republic
The chemistry between Leeza and Danny is the only saving grace of this messy film. It's almost as if the writers couldn't stand to just watch them sweetly fall in love.
-
Limara Salt, Little White Lies
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.
-
Wendy Ide, Times [UK]
The whole thing ends with a jolly multicultural dance montage so gruesome that temporary blindness would be a blessed relief.
