Blind Date

Blind Date stars Bruce Willis (Moonlighting Die Hard), Kim Bassinger (Never Say Never, 91/2 Weeks, No Mercy) and John Larroquette (Stripes, Cat People, Summer Rental), and a real cherry White Nissan 300ZX.

Willis is Walter Davis, an overstressed business man who works hard and plays little. His brother Ted (Phil Hartman) fixes him up with a beautiful but dangerous date Nadia Gates (Bassinger). It seems like love at first sight until alcohol is added to the ingredient.

Walter’s translation of the message of “if you get her drunk, she loses control” is wrong. Thinking it will improve the date, he gives her a glass of bubbly and bam, instant Dr. Jckle and Ms. Hyde. Nadia transforms into a divorce starting, party crashing, job ending bogusly CRAZY date.

As if that isn’t bad enough, Walter has to deal with love sick Nadia stalker David Bedford (Larroquette). Not able to take “good-bye” for an answer, David dogs Nadia all across the Los Angeles setting. Pushed to the limit, the mild mannered Walter explodes into righteous rage and loses his job, car, dignity and faces a lengthy sentence behind bars.

Blind Date is a very funny comedy. Great lines include, “Dance scumbag, now moonwalk. I hate that…(dance)...” and “ I only wish this was the army. So that I could have you shot... Twice!”

Blind Date has some great 80’s nostalgia including “Heeeere’s Johnny” as the TV plays in the background and a delivery truck featuring Emery Worldwide.
