Undescribable Perfection

Powerful

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Though I don't usually go for romantic comedies, "100 Girls" is a standby favorite of mine. When Matt is trapped in an elevator during a power outage with a girl whose face he didn't see (obscured by a large load of laundry she was taking to the dorm laundry room), he finds that the anonymity of darkness allows him to overcome his shyness and actually talk to the other girl, rather than his usual response of being stunned into tongue-tied silence. Several meaningful conversations later, they share an incredible sexual interlude in the dark elevator, and Matt wakes the next morning hopelessly in love...and no idea as to the identify of his 'mystery girl'.This film is hilarious and awesome. There aren't many well-known actors in it, but that's okay. It still illustrates many poignant points about sex and the differences between men and women. I think that anyone who sees this film will end up laughing as well as nodding their head in silent agreement of the ideas and arguments put forth. You don't have to agree with everything, just sit back and enjoy the battle of the sexes! The humor is very good. Everything from a competitive battle of table hockey with the one girl involving a game of the loser stripping nude, to the young man finding himself in a troubling situation with the obnoxious and phony boyfriend of another girl, the laughs and the surprises never stop. All in all, this is a great movie that I highly recommend. However, it only works as a great film if you understand what to take seriously and what to laugh at.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

For some reason I hired this out on video and I know that I had made a big mistake after 10 minutes. I found this movie to be that uninteresting I decided to watch a majority of the movie on fast forward.What can I say about this movie? Like I said before, it was very uninteresting and I didn't care for it at all.I guess the main reason why I disliked this movie is because it was a chick's flick, and it wasn't something that appealed to me.Well you can't always judge a movie by it's cover.Not to worry, life goes on.Unless this type of movie appeals to you, you may like it.In the meantime, I am giving this the lowest rating possible.1/10.

100 Girls tells the story of Matthew, a nerdy College student who has a sexual encounter in an elevator during a blackout and spends copious amounts of time trying to figure out her identity. What sets 100 Girls apart from other teen comedies is the dialogue- centric scenes which add a level of intelligence to the characters and also help move the story along. However, this also proves to be disadvantageous, as the film's characters fit every conceivable stereotype. Matt is the awkward nerd. His roommate Rod is a misogynistic dimwit who spends hours putting weights on his penis whilst degrading and depersonalizing women. Matt enlists the help of former high school acquaintance Wendy, the stereotypical cute girl next door. His and Rod's Women's Studies professor, Ms. Stern is hairy-arm-pitted man-hater. Patty is the hyper-sexual slut and her boyfriend Crick,the hyper- masculine sexual abuser. Dora is the "ugly" girl unaware of her beauty. Other characters include Cynthia, the blonde knockout and Arlene, the competitive "tomboy". Matt later attempts to dress in drag as Francesca and discovers that as such, he is able to communicate more effectively with women. This, in turn, bolsters his confidence and culminates in a speech in front of the girls dorm, where he realizes he can have any girl he wants. In summary, while this film tries to pass itself off as a critique of gender relations, it is in actuality a slightly more intelligent variant of the sex romp. If you enjoy unconventionality, this film is worth a watch.

Well, I guess we all thought it was gonna be an American Pie part II, with the same old sex jokes and the never ending paranoia about hot girls. "100 Girls" is away from this kind of movie. Matthew is an apparently insecure guy that is looking for the girl of his dreams. He isn't able to find her, but at least he spends time meeting other girls. Nothing that he does is particularly interesting, actually it's a shame the film is so out of action. However, in many scenes we have interesting thoughts involving men/women, sexism and life. The classroom scenes with that feminist teacher is really wise and funny, I know many girls who think like that-- I'm a guy and I also agree with some of those ideas. The film just isn't better because of its lack of 'action' scenes, which made it look too light for the audience it's been made for. In fact, I believe this film works better with late teens and young adults than with real teens.
