#TAD HAMILTON MOVIE#
The movie contains some light sexual innuendoes and light foul language, however. Viewers will be able to relate to both his character and Rosalee, who is played by Kate Bosworth. Yet for all its period-specific details, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton also has a certain wholesome innocence that makes it unexpectedly timeless too. Topher Grace as Pete is particularly funny. The leads are appealing, and the story is entertaining. WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON is a breezy, positive, morality-tale, romantic comedy. When he goes to Rosalee’s home town to seriously woo her, Pete accelerates into competitive mode, but how do you compete with a Matinee Idol, especially one that’s not above stealing some of your best lines? Tad finds Rosalee’s wholesome, beautiful innocence too much to resist. Of course, who should happen to win the contest but Rosalee.
When Tad’s wholesome image suffers some bad publicity, his manager concocts a scheme to restore his image – run a dating contest for Tad’s female fans. So, he sits and suffers through his friend’s doe-eyed admiration of actor Tad Hamilton, who cuts a dashing, handsome figure on the Big Screen. Pete can’t bring himself to tell Rosalee about his feelings, however. He is also in love with Rosalee, his best friend who also works at the store. Pete Monash is the sarcastic manager of the local Piggly Wiggly in a small town in rural West Virginia. There are, however, some light sexual innuendoes and light foul language.

(Bosworth, Grace, and Duhamel’s completely charismatic work here is undoubtedly matched by a superb supporting cast that includes Nathan Lane, Gary Cole, and Kathryn Hahn.) It’s clear, then, that Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!‘s overall impact is affected by the less-than-satisfying treatment of the expected love triangle (ie the viewer is, given Pete’s relentlessly cynical and sarcastic attitude, forced to root for Rosalee and Tad’s successful coupling), while the needlessly protracted third act ultimately does ensure that the whole thing peters out before arriving at its relatively romantic finale – which does, in the end, cement the picture’s place as a decent-enough romcom that’s perhaps not quite as consistently engaging as one might’ve hoped.WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON is the story of a love triangle. Filmmaker Luketic, armed with Victor Levin’s screenplay, delivers a briskly-paced romantic comedy that fares best in its thoroughly entertaining and compulsively watchable first half, as Luketic does an effective job of establishing the affable central characters and the decidedly over-the-top scenario in which they find themselves – with the agreeable atmosphere perpetuated and heightened by the efforts of a uniformly appealing roster of performers. Directed by Robert Luketic, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! follows small-town cashier Rosalee Futch (Kate Bosworth) as she begins seeing a famous Hollywood star (Josh Duhamel’s Tad Hamilton) after winning a contest – with complications ensuing after Rosalee’s boss (Topher Grace’s Pete) finally works up the courage to profess his love for her.
