I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I love Topher Grace, so it doesn't matter what he does, but the movie is not so bad too, it's not a total waste of time, and I am not being sarcastic. I was kinda enjoy it. but to be fair I do have to skip some parts cuz it's just boring, or too cliché. but for the most part it was funny and interesting enough.

A chick flick romantic comedy although the laughs are mainly provided by Sean Hayes and Nathan Lane.Tad Hamilton is an actor known for wholesome roles but when he is caught drinking and driving, leering with a floozy, his agents decide to get him some positive publicity by raising money for charity via a lottery. The lucky winner getting a date with him.Kate Bosworth plays the likable blonde from a small town who adores him and wins the date. For some reason even though the film is set in the modern day, she and her best friend thinks Tad is wholesome just like his film persona. Such lack of cynicism.Topher Grace plays Bosworth's friend who has always yearned for her but has been afraid to tell her. Tad has a good time in LA with Bosworth and follows her down to their small town, making Grace jealous.This is light, inoffensive, frothy film but with little substance. All the leads are likable enough, even Josh Duhamel gives Tad some likability and sincerity but it never amounts to much.

One thing that makes this movie different than all the others of this genre is the fact that it does not have a negative character and even the stereotype, movie star Ted Hamilton's character is driven by morally and ethically righteous motives. So the main plot of this movie (as unbelievable as it may sound) revolves around the characters struggle with their self and they strive to overcome their own boundaries and limitations. As I said in the beginning there is no bad guy in this movie. Everybody does the right and noble thing at their given time. Now all this philosophy aside, this is a nice easy going movie with overly idealized moral values, which is kind of rare now a days and makes it quite refreshing and unexpected.

Rosalee Futch is a grocery clerk living in rural West Virginia. But even a small-town girl can have big dreams, and Rosalee's is to someday--somehow--meet her big-screen idol Tad Hamilton. The somehow arrives in the form of a contest--the grand prize: a date with Tad Hamilton--and the someday is now. Rosalee wins, much to the chagrin of her best friend and co-worker Pete, who is deeply, hopelessly, and secretly, in love with Rosalee.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. When Tad meets Rosalee and gets a taste of what he's been missing in the real world, he decides he wants seconds and moves to West Virginia, turning Rosalee's dream come true into a nightmare for Pete.Now here is a film that is so heart wrenching to watch through the whole movie because of how realistic it is. You know how you got this crush on this girl you liked in high school and she's going out with the joke because you're a geeky guy? Well, that's why it's almost painful to watch, in a good way.Yeah, the jokes were predictable. I mean, the whole movie is predictable but you will want to go all the way with it. I have to say, though, if this were to have less clichéd jokes and be more of a serious comedy, I would've liked it a lot more.This film is light and funny. There's even a fresh new cast: Kate Bosworth plays the insecure woman, Topher Grace plays the guy who isn't confident enough to tell Bosworth that he loves her, and Josh Duhamel plays the charismatic celebrity.After you finish this film, you will end up happy and enlightened. The movie is an upbeat and endearing comedy that makes you laugh. Yeah, it's full of clichés and it's predictable but who cares?
