At First Sight

Amy (Sorvino) is a fast-paced Manhattan architect who falls for the the masseur at a resort where she is trying to relax. Virgil has been blind since the age of three, and is cared for by his loving sister. Amy takes Virgil to New York, to his sister's objections, in order for him to receive a radical new treatment which will restore his sight. Though the surgery is successful, Virgil's added sense creates a whole new set of problems for him, straining his relationship with Amy. When disease once again threatens his vision, important decisions must be made, which will affect Virgil and Amy forever.

    Jonathan Silverman stars as a lovable schmuck who's dating the lovely Rhonda (Allison Smith). But his pal Joey (Dan Cortese) bullies him into more adventurous romantic escapades. Funny in parts, . . . At First Sight feels like a warm-up for Silverman's Single Guy TV series, which began the same year. Like its main characters, however, it doen't really go anywhere. The film features a hilarious cameo from voice actress Pamela Segall as a wallflower turned vamp.

    Really Enjoyable Film

    This was a good little film. Well acted and very enjoyable.

    It wasn't a soppy romance as I first thought it might be. It was mainly to do with the man's blindness and how he copes with it and other things (I won't spoil it!)

    You could most certainly do a lot worse than rent this film.
