100 Girls

If your the sort of person who won't enjoy a thing because it is "problematic" then I'd recommend giving _100 Girls_ a wide, wide berth. If that's not an apt description of your tastes, then I'd... Probably still recommend you miss _100 Girls_. Even if you don't take into account the film's **biz ... arre** level of obsession with gender dichotomy, the saccharine moments of "heroism" that are at best dated and at worst genuinely damaging, and even if you discounted the weird, uncomfortable roles characters' relationships take, then all you're left with is a bland, hackneyed plot without any real character development and a **massive** disconnect between message and arc. I'm not saying that _100 Girls_ could never have worked (although for some viewers I'm sure that will be the case), I'm just saying it doesn't. read more

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. I like the mystery aspect of this romantic comedy, while it is somewhat unrealistic, it's somewhat refreshing to have a legitimately "good" guy concept. Legitimately getting to know 100 girls is quite the effort, and while the actual myste ... ry isn't so complex, it definitely lends to a lot of character work during his sleuthing. Jonathan Tucker looks like a poor man's Joseph Gordon Levitt, meant a complimentary as possible, but does really well leading the movie without carrying it. The ladies (and James DeBello) pick up plenty of weight and we see some familiar faces: Larisa Oleynik ("Secret World of Alex Mack", "10 Things I Hate About You"), Katherine Heigl ("27 Dresses"), Jaime Lee Pressly ("Mom", "My Name is Earl"), and Emmanuelle Chriqui ("You Don't Mess With the Zohan"). Cast is good, the writing is solid, the delivery is charming, but the concept lends to a lot of throw away material. This is probably true of most mysteries, but there is little one clue leads to the next in this: it's mostly 99 dead ends. They do some cute work at the end of the movie to alleviate some of that, but by then, the actual story is over, and even I checked out. Great little rom com, they let the jerk guy be a side character this time, and I think it is very much worth the watch. read more

Not really that great of a movie but it's reall funny. I was laughing a lot in this movie. It's worth a watch. ...
