Movie - Girl Pretending to be Drunk on Date


This is I believe a rom-com from the late '90s-mid-2000s, it opens with the main character going to meet a girl on a blind date; when he shows up, she's already had a few drinks and is falling down drunk. He escorts her home on foot, and when they get back to her place, she reveals she's completely sober and it was a test (he passed).

Google searches all just come up with Promising Young Woman now :-\

Could be: "Blind Date" (1987) ?

"Walter Davis is a workaholic. His attention is all to his work and very little to his personal life or appearance. Now he needs a date to take to his company's business dinner with a new important Japanese client. His brother sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia, who is new in town and wants to socialize, but he was warned that if she gets drunk, she loses control and becomes wild. How will the date turn out - especially when they encounter Nadia's ex-boyfriend David?"

Ha, wow, Bruce and Basinger?! Dunno how I've never heard of that one, but no, it was definitely later, I'm thinking mid-2000s if I had to guess, and the blind date/being drunk thing is just their introduction, not the plot of the movie. Thanks tho!

OK. Could be: "I'm with Lucy" (2002)

"It's an hour before Lucy's wedding and her best friend wants to hear all about what led up to that moment. So, Lucy tells about the five men she had blind dates with over the past year (Doug, Gabriel, Bobby, Barry, and Luke) and her experiences with each one. As each date is told at the same time as the other four, the many ups and downs of new relationships are shown. So, while some dates start off terribly, but end well others are just the opposite. But which one of the five men is Lucy about to walk down the aisle with?"

Damn, good find, but unfortunately no, this one just follows the same couple through the whole movie I believe. Part of me was thinking it was Justin Long, but I didn't see anything like that in his filmography, someone like him though. Gahhh, haha.

And "Good Luck Chuck" ?

Much more indie

OK. And "My sassy girl" (2001) ?
"A young man sees a drunk, cute woman standing too close to the tracks at a metro station in Seoul and pulls her back. She ends up getting him into trouble repeatedly after that, starting on the train."

Other possibility is "My sassy girl (2008) is some similar too.
" When Charlie is accepted at an elite college in Manhattan, it seems dreams can come true. However, just as Charlie is settling in and keeping his eye on the prize, a woman totally diverts his path. Beautiful Jordan (Elisha Cuthbert) appears very drunk and lands on a subway track. Yes, indeed, Charlie rescues her. It soon becomes a pattern, as Jordan self proclaims that she is in a "reckless" phase. "
