Blind Dating

Blind Dating (2006) — watch online this romantic comedy from director James Keach, starring a pre-fame Chris Pine in one of his early leading roles. Danny is blind, cheerful, and apparently a disaster at every date his brother Larry lines up for him.

The string of failed setups eventually gives way to something real: Danny meets Leeza, a nurse at the clinic where he's signed up for risky experimental eye surgery. She's warm, funny, and completely off-limits — promised to another man by her traditional Indian family. Danny is undeterred.

This is light, unpretentious fare, but Pine brings a genuine ease to the part that makes it work better than it has any right to. Worth watching for an early look at an actor who would later carry a franchise on his back. Stream Blind Dating online on iFILM.
