Too much of everything

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I went into this movie knowing that I've seen both Eight Days a Week and 100 Girls in succession and liking both of them; unfortunately, I was taken aback when I saw this movie.First of all, the formula for this kind of movie was tampered with: usually, you have a reluctant hero who just happens to be attracted to one girl. In Eight Days a week, the love interest was Erica (played by the talented and beautiful Keri Russel), in 100 girls, we didn't know at first, but it later turned out to be Patty (played by yet another cinematic stunner, Emanuelle Chriqui.) In this one, we were all tripped up, me included.Secondly, I was used to seeing Johnny Green as the main dick-weed antagonist. That's all I have to say.Lastly, sure I understood the message: that we men need women to truly become reformed versions of ourselves, but it was done so disgustingly.In summation, it was just a lesser version of its predecessor and nothing more.This movie wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good. It's worth a 6 out of 10.

There's definitely something a little redeemable about it, but I'm not sure what. The storyline was awful. So maybe it was the acting? Not sure, I did laugh a few times, but I think those were mostly at the movie and not with it.I didn't find the individual characters' preachy comments on men, women, relationships very witty. The ending was way too forced.Perhaps the silliness of it all is enough to make it worth a viewing if you catch it on HBO.

I rented this movie to watch by myself because I figured my wife wouldn't be interested. I figured it would end up being a movie with some crude or sexual humor, and a bunch of attractive women.The attractive women part was right on. But as far as the whole tone of the movie, I was way off. This had some intelligent humor, and some good romantic story lines.I could clearly see why alot of MALES have rated this pretty low, they were probably expecting a spankfest. This would definitely qualify as more of a chick flick, especially geared towards the girls that like the emo boys, the ones that wear their hearts on their sleaves.I was impressed with the story, and the quality of the acting.

Girl Fever was on TMC 12/3/03 and even TMC thought it was 100 Girls. If there's ever been a poster child of plagiarism its Girl Fever (2002). The story line, characters and story progression follow the well performed, artistic and well thought out story line of 100 Girls. Despite the feeling of being misled by TMC and the writer/producers of Girl Fever (2002) I did enjoy the movie. The acting was good, jokes delivered well and characters interesting. However, through out the whole movie I could keep from comparing it to 100 Girls.I have this on my "To Buy" list if only to compare it to 100 Girls when I get that movie and probably watch it 100:1 (Girl Fever (2002)).Thats my review and I'm sticking to it.
