If you've already seen "100 Girls," then you've seen this movie. The names and locations are changed, and a few minor plot points are altered, but it's still the same discourse on gender relations wrapped up in a hook-driven romantic comedy. It won't change your life, it won't make you a better person, but it will provide about 100-odd minutes of fluffy, carefree entertainment. Sometimes, that's just what the doctor ordered.

Which is to say that I liked the film, for all of its flaws. I liked "100 Girls," too. My only real complaint with this movie is its use of the gross-out to keep it from being a total date film. I could have done without the Clint Howard character completely.

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.

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.
