production, it's so all-round classy. I caught this on cable not long after its release in 1987-88, so it was not a big box-office hit. Probably because the critics whizzed all over it see my above remarks about "graphic sex," "gross," and "smutty" -- pretentious critics apparently only like graphic, gross, and smutty in their comedies. This is on my personal list of "perfect" movies and is in my personal collection. Every time I introduce someone to it, they can't believe how funny it is -- usually because they haven't heard of it.

Hartman-brilliant as always offers to help, setting a blind date with his wife's cousin Nadia Kim Basinger . Everything should go smooth, if it weren't for Nadia's psychotic ex boy-friend David John Larroquette , who is following her, and Nadia's intolerance for alcohol. The dialog is excellent, the slapstick and exploration of awkwardness in social circumstances are magnificent. The restaurant scene, the Walter gone wild at the party and police drinking test scene, David's parents house scene, and John Larroquette's performance altogether, are only a few of the deliriously funny bits in this excellent comedy.

in Heaven". Love comes at a price, as this great film proves.

Basinger lives up to what's expected from her in this film.This movie is full of absurd situations that you forget if the story makes sense. After all, if it would there wouldn't be as much fun.The parts I most enjoy are those in the restaurant, especially when Nadia comes to Yakamoto's dinner table and Walter's boss accidentally takes that weird hat off Yakamoto's wife's head. Also when Walter goes insane and takes Nadia to crash that party with his fearless antics and vocabulary - especially funny is when he drops that olive in a woman's bossom. And when they come to what's supposed to be Nadia's friend's house turns out to be a mobile one that starts moving as she presses the doorbell. Then some crooks steal the right door of his car and run away. And right after that Walter is mugged again by those wacky-dressed girls. I love the scene when they run away from the police car and Walter loses it banging in the car yelling at the cops to go chase the girls. The scenes in judge Bedford's house are hysterical as well.Well, I could go on and on mentioning the funny parts of this film, but I think it's enough. Only I'm left to say that if you wanna spend ninety minutes of pure fun and nonstop laughter pick this movie. Nine out of ten.

action classic called Die Hard coming. Next year there should be coming Die Hard 4.0, so can't wait to see that.Other actors do a great job too.There are John Larroquette as David Bedford, Nadia's ex, who's doing an excellent job and William Daniels, who's known as the voice of KITT in Knight Rider and George Feeny in Boy Meets World is marvelous.Phil Hartman, who is sadly gone now after his wife shot him in 1998, is wonderful.There certainly is a cast to remember.I remember the first time I saw this movie back in 1994.I was the biggest Bruce Willis fan at the time and I enjoyed this movie very much.These days it doesn't work quite as good, but it's still pretty enjoyable flick.It offers some great comedic moments that bring a grin on your face.

dobermans, golf balls, moonwalking and an abject lesson in why you should never get your new girlfriend drunk.

champagne. And this is the beginning of a very disasterous date. Things go wrong left and right. She makes a fool of herself. She makes him look like a fool of himself. And so forth. Caught in the middle of the crazy shenanigans is Nadia's pain in the butt ex-boyfriend David Bedford played in delightfully goofy fashion by John Larroquette who proceeds to make their date even worse. "Blind Date" is alot of silly fun. Basinger is terrific, and Willis made a good film debut here before going on to action pictures such as the "Die Hard" films and "Armageddon"; and to more serious fare such as last year's smash hit "The Sixth Sense". "Blind Date" isn't the best film of Willis' career that's the original "Die Hard" but it's a good one and pretty entertaining. *** out of four
