Danny is a man who was born blind. He is intelligent and pretty confident,as he doesn't walk with a cane. Being that he is 22 years old and still a virgo ( although all women he meets find him attractive,including his sister's 14 year old friends who want to date him ), his brother offers to set him up on a few blind dates with his female friends. Although at first skeptic about it,as his brother set him up with nasty women in the past, he accepts.

Some women are too sensitive ( one cries the whole time she's with him on the date,when she realizes he's blind) ,or too forthcoming ( one likes to take the lead,just that she keeps on literally hurt him every time).So, Danny puts an end to this endless stream of ridiculous dates.

 

He sees a doctor in hopes he'll consider him for a surgery which might give him back his sight.

There,he meets an Indian woman, Leeza,whom he falls for,as they can talk freely about their life and problems.

 

After a few dates,the woman puts an end to it,as she comes from a strict Indian family who wants her to marry an Indian man.

 

Danny thinks she ends it with him due to his blindness,so he starts dating again,this time not telling women he is blind ( I don't know how that works,considering one can see if one is blind or not due to where their eyes go).

 

The actors were all good,Chris Pine was really good as the blind man.

 

The movie has a good plot,the part with the blindness is an unique take, not the part with him trying to get surgery,though. The movie has a few dirty jokes,one right at the beginning,with his brother messing with him,and then him paying him back at the end.
