Ginnifer Goodwin is swept under the rug in this film, and this isn’t the first time she’s stolen the show. They wink and nod to the audience at the beginning of the film when Rosalee, Pete and Cathy (Ginnifer Goodwin) are watching one of Tad’s movies, and Pete riffs about the silliness of the romance formula. And it knows that the girls are just going to get weak in the knees when they watch it. It knows that it’s just throwing formula at the audience. The one redeeming quality of “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton” is that it knows itself. And it mocks the standard experience that just about every red-blooded American guy has gone through. The problem with “Win a Date With Tad Hamilton” is that it requires more than just setting reality aside for a while. After all, if you take the quintessential romantic comedy “Pretty Woman” as an example, I doubt there are many Fortune 500 CEOs that pick up hookers on Hollywood Blvd., spend a week with them and then run off together. I understand that romantic comedies and love stories take a certain amount of accepting situations that don’t exist in reality.

What happens is that you get the “I just want to be friends” speech. Heck, she doesn’t even leave her half-drunk, mildly attractive jerk boyfriend for you. She doesn’t leave her movie star boyfriend to be with you. When you finally do get up the nerve to tell her about your feelings, kiss her or confess your undying love, what happens? While she enjoys your company and will always use you as a shoulder to cry on, she hasn’t got the foggiest notion that you like her. Let’s have a show of hands out there… How many guys have faced this situation before? One of your best friends in junior high, high school or college is a girl.

Pete now not only has to contend with Rosalee’s inability to see his “great love” for her, but now he is in competition with one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. But when Tad meets Rosalee, he is smitten and pursues her back to her home town of Fraziers Bottom, WV. Of course, this contest is a publicity stunt pulled off by Tad’s agent and manager (Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes) to improve his image. When Rosalee enters an online contest to win a date with Tad Hamilton, she never thought she’d come out on top. Pete (Topher Grace) is her manager at the local Piggly-Wiggly who has been carrying a torch for Rosalee since grade school. Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) is a small town girl from West Virginia who has a crush on movie star Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel). The problem many of us guys face is that rarely do the women want to have sex with us. If you believe that American cinema is the mythology of the modern age, then surely the great prophet Harry Burns from “When Harry Met Sally” speaks the truth when he says that men cannot be friends with women without wanting to have sex with them. However, deep down in the plot, it is going to touch a seed of rejection in most guys that will cause them to pull their hair out. On the surface, it is a sweet romantic comedy.
