"He met the girl of his dreams. If only he can meet her again."
Matthew, a college freshman, meets his dream girl in a dorm elevator during a blackout. He never sees her face, but instantly falls in love. In the morning, the power is restored, but the "dream girl" has vanished. All Matthew knows is that she lives in an all-girls dorm. He sets out on a semester-long journey to find his mystery girl among a hundred female suspects. Could it be Wendy? Dora? Arlene? Patty? Cynthia? Or the 95 other girls, any of whom could have been in that elevator with Matthew.

If your the sort of person who won't enjoy a thing because it is "problematic" then I'd recommend giving _100 Girls_ a wide, wide berth.
If that's not an apt description of your tastes, then I'd... Probably still recommend you miss _100 Girls_. Even if you don't take into account the film's **bizarre** level of obsession with gender dichotomy, the saccharine moments of "heroism" that are at best dated and at worst genuinely damaging, and even if you discounted the weird, uncomfortable roles characters' relationships take, then all you're left with is a bland, hackneyed plot without any real character development and a **massive** disconnect between message and arc.
I'm not saying that _100 Girls_ could never have worked (although for some viewers I'm sure that will be the case), I'm just saying it doesn't.
