Description of Blind Date:
Bruce Willis's first starring vehicle was this 1987 comedy by Blake Edwards (Victor/Victoria), in which the actor plays a yuppie set up on a blind date with a beautiful blonde (Kim Basinger). Everything goes swimmingly until Willis does what he was warned not to do: give the lady alcohol, which causes her to get entirely out of control. The one-note joke basically turns the film into a succession of set pieces in which Willis has to keep up with Basinger, bail her out of trouble, or get out of the way of her hotheaded former boyfriend (John Larroquette). Willis is fine, Basinger is impressively unhinged, Larroquette is hilarious, and Phil Hartman has a nice role as the friend who set up Willis's evening from hell. The slapstick shtick is classic Edwards, but the film is not Edwards at his most inspired. Consider Blind Date the work of a good filmmaker in a holding pattern. --Tom Keogh
Blind Date Reviews:
Blind Date 
2009-09-08 - I like Bruce Willis style and I think this is one of the Funniest movies ever.
Blind Date
2009-01-15 - If you enjoyed the "Moonlighting" series you will probably enjoy this movie. Bruce Willis, Kim Basinger, and John Larroqette do a fine job in this comedy. Blake Edwards directs this night of comic craziness that evolves running jokes, pratfalls, and more. Most of the movie is centered around one nights activities as Willis and Basinger go out on a blind date. If Basinger being pursued by a lovestruck Larroquette isn't enough, Basinger goes crazy after having a few drinks and totally wrecks Willis's life by disrupting his bosses party. Not to be outdone Willis decides to return the favor at Basinger's friends party. It doesn't end there but suffice it to say this is an enjoyable romantic comedy and worth at least a rental. Good quality DVD with decent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Overboard".

2008-02-08 - Great movie......Bruce Willis in the early years. Saw it back when it was first released, wanted it for my library. I can watch only a few movies more than once, and this is one of them.
