From imdb:

Sexy Ryan Banks becomes a Hollywood star overnight when he's asked to act at a party and convinces his best friend Todd Doherty to become his exclusive manager. When his career goes down hill after a failed movie, the firms boss gives Todd three months to turn the tide. Todd gets a TV station to stage a six weeks reality dating show to pick -with input from the viewers- bachelor Ryan's bride from 15 preselected candidates -all handpicked to improve Ryan's image- who cohabit with him in a fairy-tale mansion. Charlie Norton from Boston was entered by her sister and only accepts at Ryan's personal insistence, and soon proves both his and the audience's favorite. The takes for the show are a surreal experience; Todd constantly coaches Ryan trough a miniature earpiece. However Charlie spontaneously feels for Todd and finds out he's the one who thinks up all Ryan's good answers; he is torn between his professional loyalty and personal emotions, so she decides to repulse Ryan on the show, ...

Well, what can I say?  Just when I thought this was just like any reality show type of movie, the twist made my heart flutter.

Judging from the poster you would really know who the girl, in this case, Charlie Norton, would end up with, but maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't guess what Ryan really thinks...or thought.

I love it.  Bradley Cooper in 2004 was really so handsome and he had good chemistry with Emma Caulfield.  Jason Priestley, who was the biggest star in the 1990s Television and the movies, still was very believable.  

It's a story about fame, how one gets to be famous, love, family and friendship...not necessarily in that order.

Would I watch it again?

It's a Y-E-S!
