Prismark10 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.
Vain-Adryanne I did not like the movie. I was looking for something to make me laugh and be also sweet but I did not find anything funny. I did not like Rosalee cause she seemed very superficial and I think she should have been more interesting and captivating to catch the attention of a guy like Ted. I think that Rosalee and Cathy were behaving in a way that just girls under 14 years old girls could. I did not like that she liked Ted because he was a movie star and not for the way he was. I did not like that the scriptwriter made Ted look bad cause he did not love Rosalee's details while Pete knew them after knowing her from 22 years while Ted only knew her for a couple of days. I did not like Pete, and I did not like Rosalee, the way that the scriptwriter developed their characters while Ted was really sweet and way more sensitive than Pete and if she would have chosen him I would have probably like this movie more. When you make two characters that the main character have to chose between, the one that loses should not be so lovely.
kittiekat414 I am not actually here to criticize the movie, just curious how come in the goofs section, it never mentions anything about the main actresses eyes! Several scenes in the movie, they looked to be two different colors, and indeed, on her IMDb page she is reported to have one brown eye and one blue eye, but they kept going from two colors, to both of them being blue. I can't believe no one else noticed this! That being said, I didn't think the movie was all that great. I loved Topher Grace, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Josh Duhamel is delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the main actress. She's like the opposite of Kristin Stewart, but in a completely bad way. But to be fair, this is the only thing I've seen her in.The plot was nothing new, either. Your average romantic comedy, not too smart, nor too stupid, not too good, nor too bad.
Lechuguilla A naive, young woman, Rosalee (Kate Bosworth), from hicks-ville, wins a date with a self-absorbed Hollywood hunk straight out of central casting. The smarmy guy is all smiles and no depth. But then, none of the characters in this film have much depth.The plot contains lots of predictably awkward moments, as Rosalee's down-home lifestyle clashes with the hunk's Hollywood lifestyle. Stereotypes abound. And given that the down-home setting is West Virginia, the story is fairly insulting.The script implies that Americans who do not live on the West Coast or the East Coast are simple-minded, unsophisticated dolts that idolize Hollywood sophistication. Wow! The corporate suit that approved money for this film is dreadfully out of touch, and needs to get out of Tinseltown, fast.Nothing in the script is credible, not the characters, not the plot, not the dialogue. And the ending you can see coming a mile away. Cinematography consists of bright, garish colors. And the soundtrack is irritatingly hip.With the exception of Topher Grace (miscast as Rosalee's supermarket boss), the actors overact their roles, in an apparent effort to force humor into the film. Actually, the DVD outtakes are funnier than anything in the film. Nathan Lane is marginally tolerable as a Hollywood bigwig. But Sean Hayes, in an unnecessary role, is super annoying, with that permanent smirk that seems pasted to his face.Evidently aimed at an audience of junior high school girls, this bubble gum flick is annoying in its insulting stereotypes, its predictability, and in its puerile, prepubescent tone.
