Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (2004) PG-13 (US) Comedy, Romance 1h 35m User Score. Tad Hamilton: Josh Duhamel Rosalee Futch: Kate Bosworth Cathy Freely: Ginnifer Goodwin Pete Monash: Topher Grace. The desperately over-acting Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes seem to be playing in a different film – a gay farce – as Hamilton’s manager and agent. A fluffy confection that’’s not too heavy, not too light, but instead has a perfectly sweet tone, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton is a perfectly charming way to start the year. The Win a Date contest was cooked up by Tad’s agent, Richard Levy, and his manager, also named Richard Levy, to clean up Tad’s bad-boy image. Neatly written by Victor Levin, it entertains delightfully in relaxed style but just lacks the continuous rush of funny gags that would have made a cute movie a superlative one. The star trio are very charming and amusing in director Robert Luketic’s utterly sweet, nicely made teen 2004 rom-com. But her kinda-ordinary-looking long-time best friend and co-worker Pete Monash (Topher Grace) is understandably mighty upset because he’s deeply but secretly in love with Rosalee. And Tad, looking for a life in the real world, moves to West Virginia, making Rosalee’s dream come true. Note: That leaves just one other elbow sticking out of the sack. Kate Bosworth holds it all together with a sweetness that is beyond calculation. The date goes better than expected and they fall for each other. The dream date is handled with lots of little touches that will warm the innards of PG-13 females in the audience, and the movie wants to be gentle, not raucous in its comedy. Kate Bosworth stars as West Virginia small-town store girl Rosalee Futch (!), who enters a competition and wins a date with gorgeous movie star Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel). Rounding out the star-studded cast are Ginnifer Goodwin (Rosalee and Pete’s pal Cathy) Nathan Lane (Tad’s agent Richard Levy) Sean Hayes (Tad’s manager, also named Richard Levy) Kathryn. Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! *** (2004, Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel, Topher Grace, Nathan Lane, Sean Hayes, Gary Cole, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kathryn Hahn) – Classic Movie Review 639
