Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!

A romantic triangle develops between a small-town supermarket cashier (Kate Bosworth), the friend who quietly pines after her (Topher Grace) and the movie star (Josh Duhamel) who falls for her after she wins a contest to go on a date with him. We’re supposed to find these characters endearing, but the movie treats them like three
stooges. Case in point: She’s never heard of saying “cheers” before drinking a beer and uses phrases such as “yikes-a-bee” when happy.
