Five Blind Dates

Lia runs a tea shop and has little room in her life for romance, so when a fortune teller tells her that the future of both her business and her love life depends on what happens next, her family and her best friend arrange five blind dates. Reluctantly, she agrees to go through with them. The Chinese-Australian comedy follows her attempts to balance the shop with a string of introductions she never asked for.

The film is directed by Shawn Seet, whose previous feature was Storm Boy in 2019, and was written by Shuang Hu and Nathan Ramos-Park, who also produced it with Kylie du Fresne. Hu stars as Lia, alongside Ilai Swindells as Mason, Desmond Chiam as Appollo, Rob Collins as Curtis, Yoson An as Richard and Tzi Ma as Xien. Made by Amazon MGM Studios with Goalpost Pictures, it runs 84 minutes and was released in February 2024.

On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.1 from roughly 2,200 votes, while on TMDB it has a rating of 5.6 from about 103 votes, showing modest and limited audience approval. A film critics' rating of 5 out of 10 from eight reviews places it close to the audience scores. These figures suggest a small-scale romantic comedy that found a modest response rather than broad acclaim.
