He respects her request, actually praising her for not following the path so many other women have obviously followed while with him. She accepts, but when she realizes that they’re all alone, she politely asks him to take her back to her hotel. After her first dinner with Tad, he invites her to come back to his place. Rosalee never gives in to sexual temptation, even though everyone expects her to sleep with Tad (more about that in “Sexual Content”), and moviegoers get the rare privilege of witnessing firsthand a few of the right reasons people should fall in love with each other.įirst, the good stuff: Rosalee doesn’t have sex with either of her male suitors. He repeatedly tells Rosalee that he wants her “goodness” to rub off on him and that he wants to get away from the damaging rat race Hollywood has become for him. It’s clear that all his fame and success hasn’t brought him even half the level of satisfaction and happiness that Rosalee possesses while working as a check-out clerk at a supermarket. Tad realizes his priorities are out of whack and latches on to Rosalee as a way to figure out what matters in life.
To me, you’re Tad Hamilton.” Similarly, when Rosalee questions why Tad would be interested in her, a “nobody,” he counters with, “ Nobody is a nobody.” But when he exasperatedly exclaims to a sympathetic bartender (who herself has a crush on him) that he has no hope of beating out Tad Hamilton, she replies, “Everybody’s Tad Hamilton to somebody.

(Think Notting Hill and the Brooke Shields-inspired TV series I’m With Her.) Her wholesomeness, down-to-earthness and small-town charm is exactly the same kind of intoxicant to him as his fame, riches and good looks are for her. It seems he’s as taken with her as she is with him. And that’s when he saunters through the door. As the movie’s title implies, one of them wins (Rosalee), and she’s whisked away to the bright lights and busy boulevards of Hollywood for a paparazzi-studded date with her dreamboat.īack home in what now seems like Bumbleville, she gushes to her friends about every detail of her once-in-a-lifetime experience, never thinking for a second that she’ll ever again see Tad anywhere but on the movie screen. Rosalee and Cathy simply adore movie star Tad Hamilton, so when they see a contest promising the winner a date with the Tinseltown super-hunk, they quickly raise the money required to enter. Rosalee and her two best friends, Pete and Cathy, work at the Piggly Wiggly in Fraziers Bottom, W.V.
