Well, this movie is definitely light, sweet and entertaining. I definitely enjoyed the character Pete played by Topher Grace and Rosalee played by Kate Bosworth.
I do want to question whether the character Tad Hamilton really exist in real life. Tad Hamilton, the "great" Hollywood star, seems like a very self-absorbed, self-centered man who womenize. Tad Hamilton seems like a man that wants to appear as successful and charming to all others just to serve the ego. The personality of Tad Hamilton seems to be just wanting a fling with someone and thinks he can get all he wants from a girl. It just does not seem to me Tad Hamilton cares about how Roselee really feels about him all the way through the movie. This personality reminds me of some of the people I met in the past and is extremely annoying. It just seems surprising to me how Tad Hamilton at the end over the plane would suddenly confess to Rosalee about about the honest truth. Why would a person who womenize, treat women like trophies, all of a sudden become honest? I wish the director can do a bit more explanation over the drastic change of this character. However, I do love the way the movie starts and the way the movie ends with that dance.
I think all the actors and actresses are great in this movie though. But the Tad Hamilton character seems a little odd to me.

"Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" is one of those movies that had been served up multiple times in the past and yet can still make quite an impressive comeback. We know the taste of this concoction even before we start to sip it. Many, many people have complained of its predictability, and who can deny their allegations? The plot reeks with movie clichés, that even before mid-film, we already know who wins the heart of the girl next door. See if you can figure the answer for yourself: the Hollywood star, or the boy next door?
However, despite its shortcomings, the movie manages to come out quite enjoyable after all, and more than the average fare. No doubt the movie material is an ugly duckling, but I appreciate what Mr. Luketic and the leads did with it. In particular, Mr. Topher Grace's earnest performance as the silently-in-love, jealous and overly-protective "friend" is a joy to watch. And, while Mr. Josh Duhamel's part in the film is to primarily be the handsome Hollywood guy who sweeps the town girl off her feet, he does deliver some of the best lines, making his presence more than just a mere excuse if this were a lesser film. His unHollywood-stereotype performance also makes a nice counterbalance to Mr. Grace's as they vie for Rosalee, the town girl. What further ups the bar is that the movie throbs, it says something to the heart. It tells young people to be steadfast, to be fair, and to admit to their faults.

I decided to see this movie after seeing an ad in a magazine, but mostly just for poking fun at yet another crappy romance. To my surprise, it was very charming!! Topher Grace did an outstanding job. The only con for me was the ending; kind of tacky, but i mean, it's a romance, what else can you expect!
*If you enjoy fun romantic comedies with cheesy endings, test this one.

I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I thought it would be very cheesy, and have many roll your eye moments, but I found it quite entertaining. It has some very funny moments, as well some some sweet moments. The film is so strong based on it's performances. Kate Bosworth is absolutley charming and likeable. Topher Grace also gives a likeable performance. Josh Duhamel is could have been over the top, but he gives an understated and sincere performance. Best of all is newcomer Ginnifer Goodwin. She is hysterical and I can't wait to see her in more films. While it does start to drag the second part of the film, it still was a very fun and cute film. If you had any doubts about not liking this film, like I did, then give it a chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ok let me get this straight. This is one of the most precdictable movies I have ever seen. Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!, guess what happens? She wins a date with Tad Hamilton. Thats all! Robert Luketic has gone from one of the most funniest and enjoying films (LEGALLY BLONDE) to this crap! The casting is apalling except for her friend (manager of the piggly wiggly). The first date is sooooo boring and pointless and some of the deleted scenes should have been put in (eg when Paris Hilton lands in the pool). This movie has probablly copied every romantic-comedy there is with its OH SO HOLLYWOOD story and ending. Kate Bosworth has talent but none is shown here. If you have found that this review has said nothing well thats whats in the movie NOTHING. Or at least it seems. I REMAIN DISSAPOINTED!
