People of a Certain Age undoubtedly remember how much The CW loved Chad Michael Murray, from his *Gilmore Girls* arc (he was KIND OF an early Logan? That show loved replacing love interests with other very very similar love interests) to putting him on *Dawson's Creek*, to giving him *One Tree Hill.* And he is the love interest in both this and Lindsay Lohan's *Freaky Friday*, so basically, a corner of Hollywood in the aughts was mad hot for The Chadaissance. Roger Ebert called this "a lame, stupid movie," which may not surprise you. But what I bet you AREN'T expecting from this slideshow is not one but TWO future Oscar winners.
