A few good laughs, 7 June 2000
Author: Captain Ed from Minnesooooooooota

I'd give this a six or seven. The first half of the movie is an absolute riot, with both Kim Basinger and Bruce Willis doing a great job with physical comedy. However, the second half drags despite a near film-stealing performance by William Daniels, as tart as ever. As mentioned in an earlier review, the continuity of the story stumbles in several places, most notably when the two main characters declare that they never want to see each other and, without benefit of any developing scenes, suddenly can't live without each other. Looks like part of the film got left on the cutting room floor. Unfortunately, this is a consistent aspect of Blake Edwards' films (see Skin Deep, which is almost unintelligible). This film is no exception.

Still, if it comes up on cable (pay channels only), you could do a lot worse than Blind Date.
