Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Amy Adler In Hollywood, talented but reckless Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel) has been caught by the press in situations not befitting his wholesome star image. Therefore, his agent (Nathan Lane) must think up a solution. Eureka! How about a win a date contest with Tad, where they can choose the most sweet-and-light woman for the movie actor? Meanwhile, in Frazier's Bottom West Virginia, Rosalee Fudge (Kate Bosworth) is a beautiful lass who works at the local Piggly Wiggly. Toiling beside her are two best friends, Cathy (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Pete, the PW manager (Topher Grace). Unknown to everyone is that Pete is in love with Rosie and wants to go beyond palsy walsies. Guess who enters the win-a-date contest? Yes, its our Rosalee and she wins! The date is a dream in Tinseltown and Tad is surprised he thinks so highly of the WV lady. In fact, after the date is over and after Rosalee comes back to the Piggly Wiggly, Pete may not be able to breathe a sigh of relief. That's because Tad, who is in-between roles, chooses to travel to Fraziers Bottom and pursue a possible romance with a beautiful blonde cashier. With Pete thwarting Mr. Hamilton's chances at every turn, will Rosalee remain starry-eyed over Tad? Will Pete ever get an opportunity to tell Rosie how he feels? This truly fine romantic comedy is a win win win for romcom fans. The trio of Bosworth, Duhamel, and Grace are wonderfully talented, handsome actors while Goodwin, Lane and the rest provide excellent comic relief. The cameras have captured beauty of West Virginia without showing any flaws while the costumes, script and zesty direction are quite acceptable. Are you pining away for a romcom you haven't seen? Make a date with Tad, Rosalee and Pete and grab this movie.

Tss5078 I'm not one for romantic comedies, but I was a huge fan of That 70s show, and wanted to see if Topher Grace's movie roles were really worth leaving the show for, and needless to say, I was unimpressed. The film centers around three friends working in the grocery store of a small town. They are big movie fans and the girls love Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), the hottest new star in Hollywood. Hamilton has the looks, but his reputation isn't so good. To fix this, his people come up with the idea of a contest, where the winner get a date with Hamilton and hence the name of the film. Josh Duhamel stars and really shouldn't do comedy. He may have been terrific in the show Las Vegas, but he just isn't believable in a comedic role. As for Topher Grace, he plays this whiny, love struck, jealous friend of Kate Bosworth, and he wasn't really that funny either. Win A Date With Tad Hamilton seemed like someones attempt at making a Woody Allen film and ultimately they failed. This film just tries too hard and gets to a point where it isn't funny. It lacks all the subtle, intelligent humor of a Woody Allen film, not to mention the plot is kind of cheesy. There is a lot to look at in this movie for both men and women, but beyond that, it's really not worth your time.

T Y Where do I get in line for that movie? Cause I'm bewildered about this dud. Who on earth was it made for? Girls, who don't want to end up with their best platonic male friend? Or guys, who don't want to see their pathetic situation depicted in a lousy chick flick? Kate Bosworth takes a step-down from Blue Crush (!) where she at least had to feign competence at something. Here her underwritten part doesn't give her two brain cells to rub together. She's given nothing to play with or develop, except conventions, which the movie (also) relies on way too much.Despite being a media hound (She has to be to follow Tad Hamilton) her character is a smalltown, corn-pone drip, just this side of the Beverly Hillbillies. She's unaware of wealth, players, real estate, the game... etc. What girl (with looks) passes up an express ticket into the center of the Hollywood machine to stay in Hooterville and hold sweaty hands with some guy? Topher Grace plays the putz, who desires Bosworth although he, and the entire audience have concluded she's an irritating dunce.The world could bear a funny, smart movie called "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" but this movie has no energy, no charm, no hook, no look, no humor, no angle, no viewpoint, and not a shred of savviness. It's like a time tunnel transporting you back to 20 or 30 lookalike, half-hearted romances from the 80s.

lucy kate i really like the music playing in it.they are all nice and romantic.Rosalee is a pretty girl whose eyes can talk.i think tad sometimes looks old,like a mid-aged married man,OK for example,especially how about the scene while he was having dinner with rosalee,his way talking and the facial expressions,the pretending "hurting" smile with a low voice can tell that.second,the chemistry about love between tad and rosalee is not logical and in reality.especially sometimes she cant help dating with him ,kissing him,and sometimes she is so sensible.tad doesn't make it much better.particularly how about the scene they face to face sit on the plane embarrassedly talking about her smiles.he can make a hug with her instead of answering her question or just jokingly pretend not to remember or give a honest explanation like "LOOK,Rosalee,i do like you,perhaps i cant say how much i like you ,but i feel it.a love starts with acquaintanceship and fate and will be test of time " since he already stole different excuses from movies many times and the six smiles sayings at the beginning.how come he suddenly seemed to be so frankly,so there is something wrong with the loving chemistry between them .it only always appears in the movies.i prefer more logical loving movies like Roman Holiday,Anna Karenina,pride and prejudice,etc.anyway it's a nice comedy too although love story cant tell very well.and i like Topher Grace better
