Chicks 101 (2004), Directed by Lovinder Gill

Summary: A male womanizer (and professor of the art of picking up women) finds his confidence challenged after one of his students gives him thirty days to seduce a fellow teacher - an ultra feminist who already dislikes him.

Things I Liked: The story premise and direction. Kate Leahey's performance. I really enjoyed watching my former classmate (and good friend) Keith Harris in the lead role.

Things I Didn't Like: The lighting and much of the second act, wherein several of the scenes felt overly long and lacked the humor of earlier ones. The acting - particularly among the supporting cast - was uneven, and some of the leads' reactions in the film lacked the integrity of the rest of their performances.
