"Win a Date With Tad Hamilton" stars Kate Bosworth ("Blue Crush") and marks the feature film debut of Josh Duhamel, a daytime Emmy Award winner for his work on "All My Children," and the star of DreamWorks' new NBC series "Las Vegas." The film also stars Topher Grace ("Traffic," TV's "That '70s Show"), Nathan Lane ("The Birdcage," Broadway's "The Producers"), Emmy winner Sean Hayes (NBC's "Will and Grace"), and Ginnifer Goodwin (upcoming "Mona Lisa Smile").
Australian native Robert Luketic, who directed the 2001 smash hit comedy "Legally Blonde," directed "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton" from an original screenplay by Victor Levin (TV's "Mad About You"). The film is produced by Douglas Wick ("Gladiator," the upcoming "Peter Pan") & Lucy Fisher ("Stuart Little 2," the upcoming "Peter Pan") under their Red Wagon Productions banner. William S. Beasley ("The Tuxedo," "The Mexican") and Red Wagon's Gail Lyon ("Stuart Little," the upcoming "Peter Pan") are the executive producers.
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 (Josh 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 (Topher 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.
