Tagline: In every love story, there’s only room for one leading man.
In “Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!,” Kate Bosworth stars as Rosalee Futch, 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 (Duhamel). 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 (Grace), who is deeply, hopelessly — and secretly — in love with Rosalee. The “Win a Date” contest was cooked up by Tad’s agent, Richard Levy (Nathan Lane), and his manager, also named Richard Levy (Sean Hayes), to clean up Tad’s bad-boy image.
Someone should have told them to be careful what you wish for. 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 Richard Levy, Richard Levy and, most of all, Pete.
