Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! | 2004 | PG-13 | - 4.2.4

A young woman (Kate Bosworth) from a small West Virginia hamlet wins a date with a famous movie star (Josh Duhamel). She travels to Hollywood for the date but when she returns home it's evident that she has had a profound impact on the star, who follows her back to her small town. That's until, however, the part he's been waiting for comes through. At the same time, the manager of the grocery store (Topher Grace) where she works admits that he loves her. Also with Gary Cole and Ginnifer Goodwin. Directed by Robert Luketic. [1:35]

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
