How to lose and find love in two days...

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Do you remember the old movie question "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days?" Well, at least with this movie we've got an answer to a similar question: it just takes you 3 days to lose a GIRL – as long as you are blind and leader of a commercial agency. But wait, there is still more to come. In between the same three days you can:

1) Buy yourself a guide dog for the blind, complete successfully all the needed training which is normally supposed to take you at least several months,

2) Fall in love with your guide dog trainee, make love to her all night long on the roof top of a skyscraper (who cares about this lousy guide dog training anyway, right?!?), break up with her and then fall in love with her again.

3) Be betrayed by your own brother, your former girlfriend and all of you staff. But hey, that is no problem, too. You can finish a whole new commercial campaign for an Asian sneaker all by your own. Nobody in the audience will remember that one day before (so round about 15 minutes ago) you were even not able to use your new computer with its Braille device. Today is a new day, so let's go and show your brother and it new commercial agency who is the real guy in commercial business! ...and please do not forget, that in between these three days you not only have to break up with your brother, you also have to listen to your sense of a common bond and become friends for lifetime again!

4) Present the audience any tool that was invented in the last decade to help blind people to orientate, to read or to write. I mean, nobody in the audience will notice that you use them all wrong and in incongruous situations – you are blind! That's all they need to know!

All in all this movie is nothing than downright ridiculous. To make a good mini TV-series out of this story encompassing one or two years it would take a very good script, but maybe there would be something in it. To present this story in a time range of less than 72 hours is an affront to any thinking audience.
