Blind Date (1987)

.
"I just have this chemical imbalance almost like an allergy to alcohol. It just makes me crazy!"

Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is a serious workaholic. He's been so enmeshed in his career that he's not bothered with other relationships. When he's required to bring a date to an important business dinner, he's at a lost until his brother Ted (Phil Hartman) and sister-in-law (Stepahnie Faracy) arrange a blind date with a friend of hers. However, he is cautioned to not let her drink alcohol.

Not paying heed to the warning, he offers Nadia (Kim Basinger) champagne before going to the restaurant. Big mistake. She twirls out of control and does several things that embarrass him and even compromise his job. As though that isn't bad enough, her ex-boyfriend David Bedford (John Larroquette) is stalking her and making Walter's life absolutely crazy.

Also appearing are George Coe as Walter's boss; William Daniels as the judge; Alice Hirson as David's mother; Joyce Van Patton as Nadia's mother.
