There are several good, interesting ideas that could have been explored in this movie - one is a blind young man, interested in a serious relationship and wanting to have sex with meaning -- who doesn't view himself as attractive -- and how he goes about pursuing that relationship and what happens along the way. This movie could play as a drama with comedy or a comedy with drama. Another way it could have gone is the experience of a blind young man who undergoes experimental surgery and the outcome and difficulties encountered along the way. More than likely this would be mostly a drama. Finally, there's the relationship between a blind man and a sighted woman, a romance based movie, either drama or comedy, or the relationship between a Caucasian American male and an female of Indian descent from a very traditional Indian family, and the difficulties they would encounter along the way, again a drama with some comedy more than likely. Unfortunately, this movie overreached it grasp. There were some very good moments: the basketball game with the friend, the parents at the hospital while they await the outcome of the surgery, etc. But the whole isn't even a sum of these parts -- it's a combination of movies that do not cohere in a way that one can call a success. Its unfortunate: the idea of a romance comedy that isn't simplistic, Boy meets Girl, Boy and Girl find love, encounter hindrance, break-up, but Love Wins Out, is a trite, tired formula. This movie had the promise to be a bit more than that, as DEFINITELY, MAYBE attempted and succeeded earlier this year. A longer running time would have helped and a better screenplay. The performances was reasonably solid for the budget. Technically, the film is fine, location wise and situation some interesting choices. The biggest weakness is the plot, story and script. Chris Pine deserves some better roles, to see what he can actually make with something more complex and intelligent. Some excellent character actors are wasted, although their performances are fine. There are some unfortunate and unnecessary stereotypes with both the Indian characters and the females set-ups that the Larry character attempts to hook up with Chris Pine's role as Danny.

The movie focuses on a blind man called Danny who tries to find a soul mate via his brother Larry. The few dates that he have proves to be unsuccessful because he has the bad luck to met only easy women but he is in search for the real love. Will he find her having in mind his flaw? Will a girl be able to accept him as he is? I fancy this film only because on Chris Pine. He shows his acting skills by playing a blind guy and that's not an easy job. Here he demonstrates to all that he is a talented actor. Although I'm mad of the director for the scene where he tries a bunch on condoms and says they not fit. Are we really supposed to expect that he doesn't know that a condom must be put on a fully erect *? Even a 16 years old knows that. He maybe be blind but not that silly. Why ruin the character for such a thing? In rest it was all OK.

OK, I guess if you like action, horror or sci-fi you are right out of luck - but this is a really enjoyable movie. The start was a bit off-target for me and I thought it was going to be very slap-stick but actually it turned out it was making a few points about how kids deal with differences (I think). From then if started to contrast the way adults deal with disabilities like blindness, but not in a heavy way, always using humour - until it came to love - then it changed the approach again. I would perhaps have liked a bit more of the "contrasting cultures" difficulties but that might have been a bit too much to ask. At the end of the day I do think it is a movie I'll watch again.

This movie is a humorous, moving little jewel. There's not a sentimental or maudlin moment in it, the cast is terrific, the performances and direction nuanced...and the script is *archetypal*, not "clichéd". It's a hero's journey in miniature. With jokes! What it is not is a pandering teen flick, any more than Chris Pine is a teen idol. I'm agog at some of the reviews here. I rented this movie because Chris Pine is so fabulous as Kirk that I wanted to see him in other performances. I saw some very subtle echoes of Wm Shatner in Pine's Star Trek performance that apparently others didn't, so I wanted to see him in other roles to gauge what he was doing on purpose and what might simply be aspects of himself that coincidentally resembled Shatner. Well, the man's an actor; there's no Kirk in this movie. I am so delighted and cannot wait to see the next Star Trek flick, and anything else Chris Pine does.

They didn't have fine chicks in 2006? Damn. As expected the "nice" blind guy ends up with the ugly indian chick. No value at all in this Z minus movie.

Well, this was good enough that I watched it the whole way through... but also bad enough that at the end I was kind of letdown. I wanted it to be so much better than it was. The romance was so simplistic that it did not seem authentic and they didn't seem to have much chemistry. The family was so hodgepodge looking that it was distracting- yeah right they are brothers, yeah right that's his dad... I think this got bit in the butt by a low budget and honestly it was kind of sophomoric... it's a romance without "big boy pants." So I neither recommend it nor swear you off it completely.. just keep your expectations low and they will be met.

Reading the title and seeing the cover made me think this was one of those "American Pie" movies. En contraire mes amis, this movie made me laugh and feel sad at the same time. The story of Danny's life (pretty darn well written) was touching. The story tells you how wonderful and sad true love can be at the same time. It makes you feel how less fortunate people go through life. This movie is pure human, and that's what I liked about it. If you like a good story with some funny and touching moments, I would definitely recommend this one as it's one of the better ones I've seen out there.

I'll admit...I didn't watch all of it. Only a bit at the beginning and end. And I could barely stomach those parts. I have the same problem I have with almost any other movie about a disabled person. We always have to be "fixed". For the majority of us, no experimental surgery will help. Life isn't going to get all rosey after the doctors try and "fix" us. And we don't miraculously become "normal" people. Please...make a movie that has a blind person always blind. A deaf person always deaf. And someone in a wheelchair who doesn't get up and walk down the isle at the end. Living life disabled in an able world isn't easy but no one's life is. These movies just perpetuate the idea we need to be "fixed", and aid the belief that we can only be accepted when we are normal.

I would say that this movie came as a surprise, I was waiting on that comedy/romance/drama movies that you laugh hard in the beginning that it just starts get dramatic and you lose complete interest in the movie. This movie has a steady flow of funniness, although it won't make you laugh your pants off, it can still make you laugh a few times. Also there are some dramatic parts that are nice and you can have an overall nice time watching this movie. I liked some parts of the acting, but the main character must have forgotten sometimes that he was supposed to be blind, because he acts like a regular guy, doing regular stuff. Also the I think the part near the ending is a bit over-dramatic and over-acted. The script takes the cliché story and add a bit of originality to it, and the result is a nice solid 6

I really wanted to like this movie. Chris Pine is adorable and gives an appealing performance as a blind man looking for love. It's such a compelling story - how can you not root for this guy? But the movie doesn't know how to pick a tone! First, it's a raunchy, sexed-up comedy, with Danny's therapist stripping down to her underwear for no discernible reason and one of his blind dates pushing his face into her breasts and another doing a completely unsexy strip tease, which, of course, he can't see. Meanwhile, he's fallen in love with the lovely receptionist at his doctor's office, where he is contemplating an experimental surgery to partially restore his sight. It's like there were two movies that got crammed into one. The first is aimed at teenage boys and the other is aimed at people like me, who actually like movies about real people and real emotions. If you can ignore the sophomoric stuff, it's not a bad romance. And I guess if you just came for the breasts, there's enough of those for you. But it could have been a far better movie if they had just decided which one they wanted to make.
