A Hidden Gem
I really enjoyed this superbly-written movie, though I reluctantly group it in the teen movie genre with others like "American Pie." Although the teen flick feel endears this movie to many, I think it has a deeper power behind it that places it above the other movies in its genre. I think it cleverly explores male-female relationships and roles in modern society with wit and witticism. The main character, Matt, discovers his own thoughts and feelings on the gender gap through his experiences as a maintenance man for an all-female dorm, coupled with his nightmarish semester in a Women's Studies class led by an uber-feminist. The realizations he comes to make a lot of sense and thankfully the movie calls out both chauvinists and feminists, dissects both sides, and finally finds a healthy compromise between the two using for examples the real-life experiences we have all had. The movie really gets to the meat-and-potatoes issues that men and women alike face on a daily basis. I think that this movie succeeded in doing what "What Women Want" tried to do (though I liked that movie also) because instead of giving the main male character a superpower-like gift, it places Matt in a real-life (albeit extremely fortunate) circumstance, which allow him the opportunity to intimately explore the opposite sex, as well as discover a lot about his own sex and sexuality. I think that if nothing else, this movie invites us to explore our own feelings towards the sexes in a lighthearted manner. I highly recommend this movie to singles and couples alike.

Who says a teen flick can't be intelligent?
While most teen movies these days go for cheap gags or crude sex jokes, they very rarely have anything to say. Take "American Pie," for instance. A couple of clever scenes, most at the expense of Jason Biggs, but in the end, all the characters merely lose their virginity, and then just move on having grown up a little.While this movie has no lack of sex jokes, (yeah, the guy with weights hanging from his ... is a bit excessive) it consistently couples them with interesting symbolisms and downright insightful commentary. The premise is this: guy has sex with an anonymous girl on an elevator during a blackout, and then becomes determined to find her. However, in his "quest" he recognizes the importantance of trying to understand the interpersonal relationships between the genders. As he shifts through the girls dorm, we encounter a plethora of female stereotypes. In the end, he (we) come to appreciate each girl as an individual rather than a stereotype, as well as a more over-arching connection between women.If you have never heard of this movie, and you want sex jokes without the mindlessness... buy this one!

Hilarious take on College, Sex, Men, and Women!
While "American Pie" may have brought the teen film genre back to life, I'm still fairly partial to the comedic truth provided by films like "100 Girls".QUICK SYNOPSIS: After a building-wide blackout leaves Matt trapped in an elevator with an unknown and mysterious woman for several hours, Matt soon finds himself in love and without a clue! When he wakes up alone the next morning, he vows to find his mysterious true love, no matter what it takes. The only problem is...he has no idea who she is! He must penetrate the "virgin vault" (a college dorm for women full of over 100 girls, each with the equal chance to turn out to be his true love) in order to find his mystery woman. Matt stumbles upon a diverse range of women and personalities in his quest, in addition to getting into a few pickles and learning more about himself and women.This film is hilarious and awesome. There aren't many well-known actors in it, but thats 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 arguements put forth. You don't have to agree with everything, just sit back and enjoy the battle of the sexes!One of my favorite teachers once said: "If you want people to listen to you, make them laugh. Then while their mouths are open just shove the truth in". I think thats exactly what this movie does. It makes you laugh while at the same time making you contemplate the serious issues between the sexes.All in all, a great film, and worth owning and watching many times.

Suprisingly great
I was expecting the standard teen sex comedy and was pleasantly surprised to find a interesting, insightful, and funny film about a man coming to terms with his feelings, and understanding of women and love through his efforts to find a mystery women he shared a drunken one night stand with. Through his search he meets many types of women and finds out a lot about them and himself. He also discovers more about his male friends and the constant conflict between the sexes. His insights and discoveries strike a cord with men and women alike and his quest leads him into many different funny situations. All supply pretty constant humor while remaining moving and interesting. I recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys the teen sex romps and/or anyone who enjoys romantic comedies.

ONE WORD..... GOLD!
This movie is like American Pie only cleaver! the dialogue is whitty and well thought out! It's definetly aimed at the male audience but can be appreciated by females alike. The main reason men should buy it though is.... 100 beautiful girls! Some of the actors include: Larisa Oleynik from 10 things I hate about you, Katherine Heigl (so sexy) from Under Seige 2 and My Father the Hero and my personal favourite Emmanuelle Chriqui... (drools) from On The Line and Snow day! Not just great eye candy though fantastic story, good laughs and a nice warm tingly finish! King of teen/ early 20's romantic comedies due to it's original nature... check it out!
