You need a date for the big com- pany dinner, so your brother fixes you up with his wife's cousin. You go to pick her up, and she turns out to be - Kim Basinger! A male fantasy come true, yes? For here is the abso- lutely perfect woman. A' Bo Derek with brains and per- sonality. Well, as it turns out in the new comedy, Blind Date, (Rated: PG-13) this male fan- tasy goes very much awry. It seems that the character played by the beauteous Basinger goes berserk when she imbibes even the littlest bit of alcohol. And, in this state, she completely de- molishes the clothing, car and career of her feckless date. That's pretty much the story of Blind Date. So what have we got left? A ton of nifty slapstick sequences that are bound to make you laugh at one time or another. Along with the ravishing Basinger, the film stars Bruce Willis, famed on TV's Moonlighting. The director is the master of this kihd of slapstick farce, Blake Ed- wards. Screenplay is by Dale Launer who wrote Ruthless People. Score is by Henry Mancini. There must have been some pretty heady Hol- lywood days when this pack- age was assembled! Blind Date may be the big box-office break-through for Basinger. She's been in an almost never-ending stream of movies recently. It would appear that the poor girl hasn't had a day off in the last couple of years! And she hasn't had a big winner yet, either. But this may be it. Edwards is at the top of his form in this one. The timing on the slapstick gags is near perfection and reminds one of his earlier Pink Panther series. There is a very nice crazed bit by John Larroquette as Basinger's rejected lover. This is a distinctly Edwards character, played very much like Richard Mulligan in S.O.B. Launer hasn't done nearly as well with this screenplay as he did with Ruthless People. The script is slight. But it moves, picking up momentum as it goes, and fi- nally is humming on all cylinders in the final se- quences. Kim Basinger: Bo Derek with brains A light-as-air confection that has some charming per- formers, including Kim Basinger in her best screen role so far, this is not the worst Blind Date you could have. Some Kind of Wonderful (Rated: PG-13), written and produced by John Hughes, has a set of stereotypical characters and situations, and yet it manages to be ex- ceptionally believable and charming. As in his big hit Sixteen Candles, Hughes is once again telling a story about high schoolers and teen ro- mance. At first blush, you might wonder how anyone could dare to attempt a story with this hackneyed set-up: nerdy boy is unaware that his tom- boy girl pal secretly loves him; he, all the while, has an unrealistic crush on the "Prom Queen" who is selling herself short to be with the sleazy rich boy. You'd think that any self- respecting writer would im- mediately discard such a time-worn set-up. But give credit to Hughes. If he doesn't succeed in alchemiz- ing this dross into gold, he does turn it into something with a luster all its own. The performers are all be- lievable. The dialogue is bright and breezy, and sounds real. One quibble - Eric Stolz as the nerdy guy is really too good looking to be a completely acceptable nerd. We know he's going to turn out all right. Lea Thompson is a standout as the tomboy girl pal. Whether deliberate or not, her style, mannerisms and even her look reminded me so much of Jessica Lange
