Walter invites Nadia to a button-down corporate dinner, expecting to impress his associates with this dazzling beauty. But all hell breaks loose when Nadia has \u201cone too many\u201d and reduces the evening \u2013 and Walter\u2019s career \u2013 to shambles. Bad turns to worse when Nadia\u2019s insanely jealous ex-beau David (JOHN LARROQUETTE), discovers them together and decides to annihilate the unsuspecting Walter. Can true love blossom amidst the havoc? Will Nadia and Walter ever get down to courting each other instead of courting disaster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No features were included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Surprisingly enough, for a cheap and quick catalogue release, <b><i>Blind Date<\/i><\/b> actually looks pretty darn good.

The Blu-ray released by RLJ Entertainment has zero bonus material but the video transfer is excellent and the lossless audio is good enough.
