The script, while not over-the-top funny, works in that it is rather mild, cute and simple. The character of Tad is the only one fully fleshed out, and while there are a few times when things could have been clearing regarding the intentions of his character, he seems to be the one that is most believable. As for Duhamel, he plays Tad Hamilton fairly flawlessly. Grace is not used to his full potential, but he is still enjoyable here. Though his character could have been ironed out a bit, I related to Pete because of the similar sense of humor. Grace, who is arguable the funniest of the talented cast on Fox's "That 70's Show," brings some of his wit to the movie, though it is much more muted than on television. Bosworth, in the lead, is entertaining to watch, especially in the early goings when she is in the more uncomfortable stages of the relationship with Tad. Win a Date with Tad Hamilton succeeds in that it has managed to gather up a young and energetic cast that fit their characters well and compliment the script. You can probably guess how everything ends up, but there is no need to state the obvious anyway. Rosalee accepts, much to the spite of Pete (Topher Grace), her manager, best friend and long-time secret admirer. Of course, after the awkward date, Tad realizes there was something special in Rosalee and heads out east to West Virginia where she lives, in hopes of starting some kind of a relationship. Though guaranteed to have a sappy and predictable ending - the one here is especially bad - the movie has its moments and a likeable cast.įor most romantic comedies, the story really doesn't matter, but it does a little here, as Kate Bosworth stars as Rosalee, a 22-year old girl who wins a date with Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), a big-time Hollywood actor looking to resurrect his image as a good boy after an incident that labels him as quite the opposite. The latest romantic comedy uses the same formula, a marginally-different plot and some new faces, but Win a Date with Tad Hamilton does a decent job of being halfway entertaining.
