Truly Dreadful Film

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Michael Davis' third straight film with the same basic premise, is the worst of the three. The reason it just doesn't work is because 8 Days and 100 Girls did this earlier, better and more believably. It has it's moments (most involving the attractive Erinn Bartlett), but the problem is that it shifts from dramedy to just stupidity with Clint Howard. Also, most of the dialogue is lifted from the other two films, in some form or other.Ignoring the existence of the first two films, Girl Fever (100 Women), trucks along in a weird state of being. The first half is not really funny and by the time you get to the heart of the story, it feels like you have wasted time getting there, BUT at the same time, the film is amazingly watchable in it's own "cuteness." This is a hard film to judge on it's own merit, which is not shocking to anyone who has seen it. I mean any film that goes from explaining how someone feels, to a nose-dual (don't ask), to a guy that gets screwed over and then forgets about it, all within such a short time-frame, is hard to really look at objectively. The entire plot is so hard to swallow and the lead's reaction to the plot-twist is so unreal, but at the same time it still is entertaining. There are only two things that are clear: first, Eight Days a Week deserves a DVD release in the states, so I can purchase the BEST Davis movie AND more importantly, Erinn Bartlett is smoking hot and at some point will break-out in Hollywood. Her performance in this film makes you almost forget the bad parts of the movie... I said almost.

Let's face it, no one will rent '100 Women' with the high hope that it's going to be an unforgettable and revolutionary look at love and comedy. If you want that- go out and rent something like Love, Actually or Intolerable Cruelty.I saw '100 Women' before I saw its predecessor '100 Girls'. I seem to be in the minority when I say that I preferred this version. Whilst the storylines are similar, we're not forced to tolerate the smarmy overacting of of Jonathon Tucker. Whilst '100 Girls' does have a far better know cast, I find that it was more enjoyable to see a movie where you didn't associate the female cast with movies they'd previously done. Erin Bartlett is a relative unknown, and incredibly beautiful. Some of her scenes with Chad Donella are just plain sweet.The real highlights of the movie are the philosophical discussions on women and masculinity held by Sam (Donella) and his disgusting cousin Holden (Steve Monroe). Viewers of the first movie will have heard it all before, but I found Monroe's grossness far more amusing and far less disturbing than James DeBello's.That, and some of the downright sweet and romantic stuff that goes on, makes 100 Women a different, more intellectual look at an often overdone genre. Jennifer Morrison is wonderfully sweet, Donella delightfully screwed up, and every female characterisation provides a different view on the fairer sex. Maybe not a flattering one, but a view all the same.Worth a look if you feel like being cheered up about love and life- but don't rent or buy it expecting to be forever changed. It's just a fun movie.My Rank: 7 out of 10 stars

Cheesiest, sappiest, pathetic... caught this on HBO at 3am, only timeslot it could ever fit. BUT, I'd rather watch the Girls Gone Wild infomercial I've seen on Comedy Central 20 times at this time of night rather than this. This was a poor attempt at something to the effect of "100 Girls." The acting was typical for a movie in this genre.. nothing much there to complain about, if you're going to willingly watch a movie like this in the first place. This movie needed some actual nudity to make it worthy of watching just for the girl-factor, cause there is definitely some eye-candy, but the plot/dialog is just so grating that it becomes painful at times. I think this is the first comment I've been compelled to write, and I use imdb all the time - the last scene with the girls in slow-motion jumping around for the papers just p***ed me off that much. Wish I'd fallen asleep two hours ago. Maybe I'm just grouchy. ;)

So strikingly similar in tone and message to 100 Girls, it leads one to believe that director Michael Davis is a one trick pony. I haven't seen eight days a week, but from the IMDB synopsis, I can see that the male leads in all three movies are romantically tenacious little buggers who have a retarded sexual pervert for a best friend.This movie is set in a world where women are perfect, saintly, beautiful and utterly disgusted by men, who are rapists, perverts, peeping toms, slobs, and ne'er-do-wells. Our protagonist, Sam, thus spends 98 minutes apologizing to 100 women for the entire encyclopedia of male foibles.If any woman in this movie has any faults, it's because some male figure in their past has exacted some sort of brutality or cruelty to make them act that way - you know, just like the guests on daytime talk shows. Formerly fat girls (now hot girls) were fat because boys taunted them into chocolate addiction. Emotionally reluctant girls are that way because they were betrayed and raped by boys they considered friends.No matter which title you use for this movie, 100 Women or Girl Fever, it's quite evident that the title is supposed to be the draw for horndog guys to take a look, only to have their own sexuality distorted and lampooned in the Hollywood equivalent of a fun-house mirror. I cannot conceive of any other purpose for such a movie.Although I can't see how it's possible to spoil this piece of girl-power clap trap, consider yourself warned of the potential spoiler in the next paragraph.I found it quite nauseating when Sam ends up getting the girl of his dreams (which, incidentally, he could not achieve without the assistance of the other 99 women). Sam is apparently powerless to tell her that he is actually in love with someone else - a secret which he is also unable to hide from his omniscient girlfriend. She then sets him free, as if he were a caged bird, to pursue his real true love, whom he has ostensibly betrayed by not being aware of his desires in a timely manner. Though given permission to pursue real love, in typical male fashion, he is unable to convince the new girl of his sincerity without the validation of the other 99 women.Penis jokes abound. Men are cast as vitriol fodder. It seems that in this movie, women can do no wrong, and men can do no right. When a guy plays tricks on one of the girls, she loses her job. Girl-crafted pranks, on the other hand, are physically painful in a testicular kind of way, yet have absolutely no unanticipated consequences. Girls would never be so irresponsible, now would they?If you are a woman, and want to feel good about yourself whilst dissing and mocking men in a contrived sort of way, I urge you to see this movie. If you are a man, and have ever had guilt feelings about looking at a girl's ass as she walked by, do not see this movie - you will no doubt be suicidal before they roll the credits.If I ever see Chad Donella walking down the street, I'm gonna kick him in the ass!
