100 Girls is a romantic comedy about a guy in college. Matthew (Jonathan Tucker) is a geeky kid who doesn't do well with girls. One night he is stuck with a girl in the elevator and they have passionate sex. Unfortunately, he never  got a look at her, he only knows she lives in this one girls' dorm.

How to find her? He does have her panties.Ok, he's got to get into the girls' dorm and search through their rooms. Matthew does this by creating emergencies and problems at the dorm and then posing as the handy man who comes and fixes things. Once he's done this a few dozen times he's practically a fixture there. And then his quest really begins.

Every girl is different and Matthew meets them all. It's sort of an odyssey of trying to understand the female sex. The artsy girl, the tomboy, the girl next door, the goddess, and so on. All the while there is narration throughout the film. It's Matthew talking to the audience, giving us his thoughts, his philosophies about women, the insights he's getting.

Eventually it's a movie about understanding the female side and finally finding the right person for you. Not a bad movie in and of itself. Certainly the mystery girl is one of several likely candidates, unless you looked at the credits before hand.
My biggest problem with the movie is the narration. There's a lot of it. A Lot. This guy is constantly talking to us and after a while it's annoying. Too much telling, not enough showing. There is also something else missing from the movie. A certain sense of polish maybe. It's a good looking movie, very professional for an independent film. But not professional looking. I'm not too sure what it was but I didn't like it.

Overall I thought it had interesting points but was mired in an unidentifiable morassness. Probably not a movie worth watching. There are no extras on the DVD.
