Win A Date With Tad Hamilton movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: What it lacks in clever writing and direction it nearly makes up for through its likable cast. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: There is nothing special about this half-hearted satire of Hollywood and small-town life, and Bosworth is not particularly memorable in it. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: It's all predictable stuff, but played with a nice lightness. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Win should please its core audience, which includes anyone who might actually want to win a date with Tad Hamilton. Others may opt to wait for another date with Kate Bosworth -- or Nathan Lane. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: It must be admitted that the final 10 minutes of Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! are likable: one cliche following another, but with charming restraint. Or it might just have been that the movie's simple-mindedness wore me down. Read more
Melinda Ennis, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A fluffy, forgettable bit of froth that has little to do with reality as we know it. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Fourteen- year-old girls will find the movie enchanting. Your own response may depend on your tolerance for confectioner's sugar. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A sweet-natured romantic comedy that's easy viewing but could have used a little more energy and a little less unalloyed niceness to put it over with more punch. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Formulaic, predictable and skimpy on characters, it succeeds, thanks to a lively, fresh cast and a director who sidesteps cornball sweetness. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: A light yet deftly paced date movie. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: I found it to be a leftover John Hughes triangle. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Sweet but clumsy, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton is a youth film with an appealing cast and not much idea what to do with it. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: The movie's got enough genuine wit to keep it a notch above most contemporary comedies. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: [A] refreshingly laid-back romantic comedy. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: The enterprise seems cobbled together by someone who reads nothing but back issues of People magazine. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The film may not break the romantic comedy mold, but at least it offers some engaging chiseling. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! starts out as fresh as your popcorn, but turns stale before you finish it. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: A sweet little nothing of a romantic comedy that has all the edge of an overstuffed cream puff. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Too overbearing to be funny. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: For those who are looking for a mediocre teen date movie with a love story that it more obligatory than heartfelt, Win a Date will do the job. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Here is a movie for people who haunt the aisles of the video stores searching for 1950s romances. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Veering from throwback innocence to modern cynicism, the movie is neither a compelling underdog story nor an especially funny romantic comedy. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film feels terribly dated, flat and inbred, as if it was created by people who acquired all their knowledge of human nature from old movies. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: Win A Date With Tad Hamilton might be as nauseating as its assumptions of wholesomeness, but for some smart dialogue and acting. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: An oddity, unsure of its tone and even of what period it's set in. Read more
