'Hamilton' director goes from 'Blonde' to bland

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Entertainment Writer

For a movie with an exclamation point in its title, "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!" sure is unsure of itself -- unlike, say, the Tom Hanks musical "That Thing You Do!" or even "Zapped!" that 1982 Scott Baio classic.

The film's young star, the perky Kate Bosworth, is the embodiment of such shiny, happy, 1950s wholesomeness as grocery store checkout girl Rosalee Futch, she's like a modern-day Sandra Dee.
