Blind Date is a 1987 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Bruce Willis (in his first credited lead role) and Kim Basinger.

Blind Date earned mostly negative reviews from critics, but was a financial success and opened at number one at the box office.

Workaholic Walter Davis is under pressure to secure a deal for his employer to manage the vast assets of Japanese industrialist Yakamoto.

After Nadia convinces Yakamoto's meek wife to divorce him and take half his assets, the deal collapses and Walter is fired.

Nadia sobers up and expresses regret for her actions before Walter is forced to ram the pursuing David's car off the road.

Manic from the night's events, Walter insists on taking Nadia to her friend's party, where he embarasses her with his dishevelled appearance and erratic behaviour.

Feeling remorseful and with Walter facing years of imprisonment, Nadia asks David, a defense lawyer, to represent him.

As the wedding day approaches, Walter injects a box of chocolates with brandy and sends them to Nadia at David's parents's mansion, where the event will take place.

The film was originally intended for the recently married Madonna and Sean Penn, but both backed out after the project failed to attract a director.

The website's consensus reads, "Blind Date has all the ingredients for a successful madcap comedy, but the end results suggest director Blake Edwards has lost his once-reliable touch.

[9] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote: "There are individual moments in this movie that are as funny as anything Edwards has ever done, but they're mostly sight gags and don't grow out of the characters.
