Production

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! was based on a script by Victor Levin. The character's name of Tad Hamilton has been seen as a cross between the names of screen idols Tab Hunter and George Hamilton.

It was the second U.S. film by Australian director Robert Luketic, who found success in 2001 with his American directorial debut Legally Blonde. The film was shot between May and July 2003. The film featured a small cameo from Australian musician Jessy Moss, in addition to using the song "Telling You Now", from Moss's debut album Street Knuckles (2003).

Filming took place in both West Virginia and California. The film intended to evoke a small town feeling, and the town in the movie, Fraziers Bottom, was inspired by the real-life West Virginia community of the same name. Other West Virginia shooting locations included Fayetteville and Grandview, with some additional filming at the London Locks on the Kanawha River. The film's Hollywood scenes were shot in California.
