Title: Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!
Year: 2004
Director: Robert Luketic
Plot: Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde) directs the romantic comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! from a screenplay by TV scriptwriter Victor Levin. Famous Hollywood actor Tad Hamilton (soap opera star Josh Duhamel making his film debut) is trying to promote his new movie. His manager (Sean Hayes) and his agent (Nathan Lane) both convince him to participate in a dating contest in order to improve his bad-boy image. The contest is won by Rosalee Futch (Kate Bosworth), an attractive young checkout girl who works at a Piggly Wiggly in West Virginia. When Tad ends up falling in love with her, he's willing to give up big-city life and move to small-town America. Meanwhile, her best friend and co-worker Pete (Topher Grace) is finally motivated to reveal his secret crush on her. Rosalee finds herself in the middle of a love triangle between her closest friend and a dream date. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Body: By Tricia Olszewski In Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!, the titular name is not only a character but also an idea. “Everybody is Tad Hamilton to somebody,” pronounces a character in this fluffy but satisfying story about nabbing the swooniest catch. Appropriately enough, director Robert Luketic’s follow-up to Legally Blonde offers almost everyone a little something to fall in love with: a great cast, likable characters, and even a self-aware assessment of the romantic comedy as a genre that caters to “pathetic and desperate emotional cripples.” Grocery-store clerk Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) and her friend Cathy (Ginnifer Goodwin) are over the moon for Hollywood hottie Tad (Josh Duhamel). Soon enough, the virginal Rosalee enters and wins a contest to go on a date with her crush, then becomes the talk of Frazier’s Bottom, W.Va., as Tad follows her home hoping that her “goodness will rub off on him.” Adding a bit of dramatic weight to the gigglefest that ensues is store manager Pete (Topher Grace), whose sarcastic analysis of the situation (“he wants your ass to rub off on him!”) not-so-effectively masks his love of Rosalee. Mad About You writer Victor Levin’s dialogue is occasionally groan-inducing but more often funny, aided by the comic talents of bit players such as Nathan Lane, Sean Hayes, and Gary Cole (who, as Rosalee’s suddenly Tinseltown-crazed dad, quotes unintelligible Variety headlines and sports a Project Greenlight T-shirt). Bosworth, meanwhile, simply gleams as the sunny, vulnerable small-town girl, and Grace, whether his Pete is lip-synching to Barry White or nervously telling Rosalee to “guard your carnal treasure,” gets a laugh out of his every scene. If Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! really was made for emotional cripples, it also proves that sometimes that’s not such a bad thing.
