Synopsis
Robert Luketic, the director of LEGALLY BLONDE, helms this retro romantic comedy that stars Kate Bosworth as Rosalee Futch, a modern day Sandra Dee embroiled in a whirlwind love triangle. Rosalee, a naively innocent small-town girl works at her local Piggly Wiggly and dreams of love with movie hunk Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel) unaware that her best friend and manager Pete (Topher Grace) is secretly in love with her but afraid to tell her how he really feels. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, Tad Hamilton's bad boy image needs some revamping so his managers (played by Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes) cook up a charity contest to WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON! in an effort to clean up his act. In West Virginia, Rosalee enters and surprisingly wins, and is instantly whisked away to Los Angeles for a tabloid perfect dream date complete with a stretch limo and make-over, much to the chagrin of tortured Pete. What begins as a publicity stunt becomes much more serious as Tad becomes smitten by Rosalee's innocence and honesty. Within days he follows Rosalee back to West Virginia, buys a house, and declares his love to her, shocking not only Rosalee but also the entire town, especially Pete. Back home, Rosalee is forced to choose between a fantasy romance with Tad or the real life love possible with Pete in this classic 1950s style romance that harkens back to the days of Elvis Presley and Sandra Dee.

4.0 out of 5 stars frothy and delightful fun, 27 Feb 2005
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This romantic comedy may be predictable, but it's also utterly charming, cleverly written, and wonderfully acted. All the young actors in the cast are terrific, and helped by the good script, are always believable; there are no lame lapses of dialogue that come off as insincere.
Kate Bosworth (seen recently as Sandra Dee in "Beyond the Sea"), is beautiful and sweet as Rosalee, a cashier at the Piggly Wiggly supermarket, who wins a date with movie star Tad Hamilton; Tad's hilarious management team (Nathan Lane as Richard Levy the Driven, and Sean Hayes as Richard Levy the Shameless), in order to rehabilitate their client's shoddy image invent a "charity date" scheme, never thinking that Tad will actually fall for the girl, which he does, creating a love triangle with Piggly Wiggly's store manager, who is madly but secretly in love with Rosalee.

Topher Grace shines as Pete the supermarket manager, as he tries to compete with the smile and abs of movie hunk Tad (perfectly played by Josh Duhamel). His comedic timing is marvelous, and he has a "lovability factor" that reminds me of John Cusack's Lloyd Dobler in that other romantic gem, "Say Anything".
Also good in the cast is the very funny Ginnifer Goodwin as Rosalee's best friend, and Kathryn Hahn as Angelica the Bartender.

The above average script was written by Victor Levin, Robert Luketic did the well paced direction, and it has a pleasant (meaning nothing overtly annoyed me) contemporary soundtrack with songs like Liz Phair's "Why Can't I ?" and John Mayer's "Back to You". There are scenes that have laugh-out-loud humor, and a lovely sappy ending that will bring tears to the eyes of those with sentimental hearts.
Total running time 95 minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars a humorous love story with two men fighting for the same woman, 4 Jun 2008
By dan the fan (england,uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is a humorous film that starts well, gets a little dull and then becomes really good for the last 30 minutes or so.Beautiful people in beautiful locations (in Virginia) and some great acting from Topher Grace as Pete the guy who's grown up with Rosalee (Kate Bosworth)over 22 years and secretly wants her as his girlfriend but finds that she's already fallen for the film star Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel, who you may have seen as Danny in the tv series Las Vegas).This film is called Win A Date With Tad Hamilton but Kate Bosworth looks so nice that most male viewers will wish they had won a date with her (her best film is Blue Crush - a surfing movie which is well worth seeing for the outstanding photography of the ocean).

4.0 out of 5 stars The Marmite Film, 5 Nov 2007
By M. R. Jones "harper2007" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a film you either LOVE or HATE.
Now, I personally enjoyed the film but I admit I did have to look through its faults and watch with an open mind. Some of the characters are anoying at times. Some are underused. Some are too over the top. But if you look past this it is actually quite a good film.
And its a shame that its been blacklisted as another teen comedy. Its not, its a romantic comedy that isn't afraid to try to be funny.
Its a good price, and it will make you laugh with jokes that aren't just aimed at teens.
The cast works well together with some good turns by Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes.
Overall a good movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good...
I was expecting this film to be appalling - the whole premise sounds utterly cringeworthy, for starters.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Read more
