100 Girls (2000)
7/10
Nobody on their deathbed looks back and says, "I wish I'd made love less."

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.
