Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!
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.

This pleasing romantic comedy from Legally Blonde director Robert Luketic may break no new ground, but it treads old territory with surprising sweetness. Kate Bosworth plays Rosalee, a small-town supermarket checkout girl who enters a competition to win a date with dreamboat Hollywood superstar Tad (Josh Duhamel, from TV's Las Vegas). And, of course, she wins, much to the chagrin of her co-worker Pete, who's secretly in love with her. Tad initially regards Rosalee as just another potential notch on the bedpost, but gradually finds himself falling head over heels for the girl's simple charms. Next thing you know, he's off to Hicksville to woo and win her. Nicely underplayed and with likeably credible leads, this is the sort of film for which the term “feel-good” might have been especially coined.

Bright, unmemorable, romantic comedy that stays in the shallows.

An enjoyable piece of fluff
This is a good enough movie, don't expect anything great, but it is reasonably entertaining, raises a few smiles and whiles away an evening pleasantly enough. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than a teen romance movie.

Enjoyable
Apart from being highly predictable it leaves you with a smile on your face and the humour is entertaining, not obviously funny but sharp at times.
It's one for a lazy Sunday afternoon if you are looking for a fun, loving easy going movie that might just spark a few romantic memories of your own.
It's fun! -
