100 Women (film)

100 Women (also known as Girl Fever) is a 2002 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Michael Davis and starring Chad Donella, Erinn Bartlett, Jennifer Morrison, Clint Howard, and Steve Monroe.

It tells the story of a young man named Sam and his struggle to discover why the girl of his dreams is suddenly depressed after her cheeriness brought him out of his sadness.

The film starts with a man surrounded by a large number of angry-looking women in a theater.

The girl is Hope, a bubbly bombshell with a drive to make Sam smile again.

While trying to cheer her up, he meets various people in the building: Tanya - a junior reporter devoted to herself and her career; Gretchen - his piercing-obsessed ex-girlfriend; Mr. Willens - the disgusting, unhygienic and lecherous building manager; and finally Annie - an ex-chocoholic who has lost a lot of weight and agrees to assist him in his search.

Along the way, he takes advice from his cousin Holden, an overweight sex addict whose pornography obsession has left him to graduate to the hardest of hardcore magazines in the world.

She drops a vase near him and sticks him and Holden penis-to-penis in a Chinese finger trap.

When Hope is served with an eviction notice, Sam sits outside her door drawing.

Annie won't speak to him and has turned to chocolate, her comfort food.

Looking at his drawings of the two, he realizes that the smiling face he always drew was Annie, his one true love.

2020 Movie Reviews gave the film a negative review, stating: "Any theory that the law of diminishing returns refers as much to the creative as the fiscal rewards offered by sequels/follow-ups is amply supported by back-to-back viewings of Girl Fever, and its predecessor, 100 Girls (2000) — which was itself no better than average.

"[1] Ryan McDonald from Shameless Self Expression gave 100 Women a C rating, concluding: "Still maybe worth a look if you’re desperate, simply because I believe Bartlett should be a star- she’s that charismatic and appealing (Morrison ain’t half bad either, but seriously look at her and tell me she’s not Larisa Oleynik’s twin!).
