one of my absolute favorites!

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Michael Muhney stars in this film as Andrew, a college at University of Northern Illinois. The film is done on location in DeKalb, Illinois. The story is believable but not great. You can believe their college students. Muhney adds depth to Andrew's shallowness. Andrew is the good looking guy that girls want to be with and guys want to hang out with. The film is set around Thanksgiving time where the outdoor fall scenery adds to the film's authenticity. I do believe Eduardo's was also the bar as well. It's a low budget film about college life. It's not a great film but Muhney acts best of all. The other cast members act and look like college students. The film is low budget which would explain its limitation.

Drew (Andrew) witnessed his parents' divorce when he was 11 and how it ruined his father's life. Now, Drew is in college and as a handsome young man has become a serial seducer. He easily meets and sleeps with women only to dump them. Drew doesn't do relationships; he doesn't even do second dates. Joe, Drew's roommate, willingly puts up with being denied access to his room every time there is a `sock on the doorknob' and the two boys are actually good friends even though Joe is the polar opposite of Drew. Not terribly attractive and a bit of a nebbish around women, Joe has been attracted to Shayna, a girl in his Chem. class for weeks but has not worked up the courage to ask her out. When Joe confesses his infatuation to Drew just before Thanksgiving break, Drew advises him to `just go for it' and Joe resolves to follow that advice and ask Shayna out as soon as he returns. Unfortunately while Joe is away, Drew and Shayna meet up in a bar and the inevitable happens. In the morning Drew treats her as he has so many others, only to realize too late, that his feelings for her are different. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this film had this much depth. What I expected to be another hormone driven teen movie actually turned out to have a well crafted story-line and some insight into how the characters might feel. I'd recommend this film and look forward to seeing more by this film-maker.

This film is great. It's playing in our area on the Showtime Next channel. We highly recommend it. Although we didn't attend college in Illinois, this movie perfectly portrays what it's like to go to any major US university. It's funny, heartfelt and above all, realistic. Movies like ROAD TRIP and AMERICAN PIE 2 are fun, but they don't capture the true essence of the college experience. LOVE 101 does.I don't know where it's playing other than on Showtime, but if you get a chance to see it, check it out.

If you are not from the Midwest (let alone Chicago), or didn't attend Northern Illinois University, or you are not enrolled in a university right now, you probably wouldn't understand the script of this film.The actors/actresses overall do a fine job with the script, although you will catch some flaws along the way, but portraying Midwestern college kids they do not. The lines in the film are a bunch of cliche, one-liners, that would be difficult to understand for the average moviegoer. Some of the scenes get boring and can run rather long.The story is basic, but it works. Two roommates, one girl, one dorky guy is enamored with her, the cool guy gets her. What's going to happen?!The movie makes you kind of want to go back to college and stay there, but is it all believeable? You make the call.
