Cute Movie Novelization, January 22, 2004
This review is from: Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (Paperback)
Tad Hamilton, big-time movie star, has recently been named a bad-boy. To continue getting the parts that he really wants, he needs to clean up his image. That's when his agent comes up with a brilliant scheme to have him loved by all once again. A contest called Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!, where any girl in the entire country can win a date with the heartthrob. Bring in Rosalee Futch, a small-town girl, and Piggly Wiggly grocery store clerk. Not to mention Tad's biggest fan, and the winner of the contest. After the agreed one date, Tad is so in love with being a part of "the real world," that he moves to West Virginia, just to be near Rosalee. Much to the chagrin of Pete, Rosalee's best friend, and boss at the Piggly Wiggly. Who just happens to be desparately in love with her, and has been his entire life. Now Rosalee's got to choose between the glamour of Hollywood, or her best friend.
Cristina Fox has done a fantastic job of making a novelization out of a cute romantic comedy. Tad is a macho, self-centered, egotistical, actor, who thinks that he can change his ways in one night. Rosalee is somewhat of a clueless girl, who's sweet, with a cute personality. And Pete is a funny character who will do anything to get the girl, including threatening a big-time star like Tad Hamilton. With quirky dialogue, and a plot that every teenage girl wishes she would be so lucky to experience, WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON! is guaranteed to be a surefire hit with the tweens/teens market. Especially around Valentine's Day.<P

The movie must have been made first!!!!!, March 22, 2006
This review is from: Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (Paperback)
I am usually a big fan of romance novels. I bought this at a school book fair becasue I did not ever get to see the movie! I read the book and I was good but It did get a bit confusing at times concerning the location. It also could have used a bit more detail. If the book was made first the author would have described things a lot more than they did because a good author always wants their audience to feel like they are in the setting. And by the way that is difficult to do if you are lost.
In the story Rosalee has always been friends with this Guy named Pete. Rosalee is a beautiful and random girl who just like to have fun and loves to look at cute guys. She is a bit of a dork. Petie is the manager of the piggly-wiggly that Rosalee's Father owns and she works at. He is a bit of a dork, that is because he is in love with Rosalee, the other dork in this story, and always has been.
Rosalee enters a contest to win a date with a her famous movie star "Tad Hamilton" Well she wins and goes on the date. After she goes home Petie is so happy that she protected her "carnal treasure" her virginity, since he is known for short romps with young girls. Tad shows up in Rosalee's town and takes her on a few dates. He makes Petie feel of a lesser value than himself. When tad gets another filming job he asks Rosalee to go with him and she says yes.
When Petie finds out that she is leaving he goes to find her and ask her not to go because he loves her. She just gets angry at Pete. When she is in Tad's private plain she finds out that Pete told him to tell her that she has seven different smiles. She goes home to find Pete.
When she goes to Pete's apartment and all she finds is the girl that loves Pete like he loves Rosalee is there and she tells her that he has left, not planning to return soon. Rosalee drives to find him. She cathces up to him in her car and she makes him wreck. When he gets out of the car they make up, kiss, dance, etc, etc, etc, the end!!!!
I would watch the movie you actually get to see cute guys at the same time!!!!!
