Encontro às Escuras

This is a comedy about a blind guy realising that he has never had any taste of women, and hence searches for his first love.

The poster suggests that this is a teenage sex comedy. However, just a few horrible dating scenes are not enough to make it into a comedy. It is not a drama either as there is too little portrayal of the characters feelings. Most of the characters are too clichéd and stereotypical to be funny. The relationship between Danny and Leeza is unconvincing either. The whole film lacks the substance which attracts the viewers to continue finding out what happened.

At least, a film about blind people gets made. It reminds people about the extra hardships that blind people face. Such a theme is not often explored. I guess the filmmakers should be applauded for their effort, but the outcome of it leaves much to be desired.

I really wanted to like this movie. Chris Pine is adorable and gives an appealing performance as a blind man looking for love. It's such a compelling story - how can you not root for this guy? But the movie doesn't know how to pick a tone! First, it's a raunchy, sexed-up comedy, with Danny's therapist stripping down to her underwear for no discernible reason and one of his blind dates pushing his face into her breasts and another doing a completely unsexy strip tease, which, of course, he can't see. Meanwhile, he's fallen in love with the lovely receptionist at his doctor's office, where he is contemplating an experimental surgery to partially restore his sight. It's like there were two movies that got crammed into one. The first is aimed at teenage boys and the other is aimed at people like me, who actually like movies about real people and real emotions. If you can ignore the sophomoric stuff, it's not a bad romance. And I guess if you just came for the breasts, there's enough of those for you. But it could have been a far better movie if they had just decided which one they wanted to make.

I just saw Blind Dating, and I really liked it. It was fairly well acted and, more importantly, it had heart.

What I'm confused about is the cover to the film, it looks like a teenage movie with hot girls and bad jokes, but it's everything but. Chris Pine's portrait of a blind guy seems very real to me, and I really felt for him throughout the whole movie. The story is somewhat obvious, and not that inventive, but it has a point, and even though it's sometimes a little cliché it's still very decent and enjoyable. (After all IT IS a comedy/drama, there just has to bee some parts we all know.)

Everybody are just human, after all. It doesn't matter if you are visually impaired, what skin color you have or what your heritage is. Watch this flick if you want to feel a little better.

Reading the title and seeing the cover made me think this was one of those "American Pie" movies. En contraire mes amis, this movie made me laugh and feel sad at the same time.

The story of Danny's life (pretty darn well written) was touching. The story tells you how wonderful and sad true love can be at the same time. It makes you feel how less fortunate people go through life.

This movie is pure human, and that's what I liked about it.

If you like a good story with some funny and touching moments, I would definitely recommend this one as it's one of the better ones I've seen out there.

I would say that this movie came as a surprise, I was waiting on that comedy/romance/drama movies that you laugh hard in the beginning that it just starts get dramatic and you lose complete interest in the movie.

This movie has a steady flow of funniness, although it won't make you laugh your pants off, it can still make you laugh a few times. Also there are some dramatic parts that are nice and you can have an overall nice time watching this movie.

I liked some parts of the acting, but the main character must have forgotten sometimes that he was supposed to be blind, because he acts like a regular guy, doing regular stuff. Also the I think the part near the ending is a bit over-dramatic and over-acted.

The script takes the cliché story and add a bit of originality to it, and the result is a nice solid 6
