OK, there are some problems in this movie.
There are other problems. However, among the problems, I found a movie that I wound up liking fairly well; at least, it exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. Not exactly a gem, but enjoyable. 7/10 for me.
- NO, all girls in U.S. colleges do NOT look like models and actresses (everyone in the U.S. already knows this, of course).
- The whole "cause a problem covertly and then offer to solve it" routine is cute once, but carrying it on for a whole year without anyone catching on? I don't think so, Tim.
- Matthew's "solution" to the problem of Crick (the last time they were alone together; I won't spoil it by being more specific) was VERY drastic, and I thought inappropriate. It seemed plot-driven: they needed it to happen in order to set up the final resolution of the Crick storyline. A more ethical solution, IMO, would have been to simply reveal the deception which was taking place at that time (again, I won't spoil it). While that would obviously have had repercussions, I was never comfortable with the deception in the first place.
- What 100 girls? Seemed more like about 10 or 15 to me -- though, if you only get to watch 10 or 15 girls, you could do a lot worse than these....
