Time to visit the world of fluff. Sometimes, when our brains are fried from a long day, it's fun to watch lightweight fare that does not make us think! When I'm in that kind of mood, I enjoy superficial romances, LMN-style, that feature pretty faces and mindless plots. As fluff goes, A Date with Tad Hamilton is right up there.
The threesome in the picture above present the story in a nutshell. Cute young girl is stuck between two guys. Girl likes guy, guy likes girl...you get the point. No plot spoiler, but simply one guy is a movie star and other other a grocery store manager. Which one will the girl end up with (neaswap....sorry, Valerie)?
The appeal? Those faces, of course! We guys can stare at Kate Bosworth in different outfits all day long and never tire of her great looks. And the girls get to ogle two dashingly handsome dudes, Josh Duhamel and Topher Grace. It's like a beauty pageant!
Interestingly, some romances can turn dour and sour quite quickly. After all, we're dealing with broken hearts and disappointments. But not this cute little flick. It's a frothy romp that never loses its delightfully airy, meaningless tone!
So for what the film is, an easy escape from a tough day, A Date with Tad Hamilton sparkles!
Grade of A-, believe it or not!
