    Storyline

    Edit
    He is a nerd. He is a wimp. He has no confidence and, despite thousands of tweets, is followed by three accounts on Twitter. Yes, he is not exactly the winning type and he knows it. Then things begin to change suddenly. Different women want to be with him, follow him, like him, kiss him and even, gasp, love him. He is 'Moteki.' Does his newfound status have legs? —aghaemi

    Nope
    A seriously silly and stupid film. It is so annoying it makes the viewer antsy. We have a virgin nerd or something (who cares?) and he somehow (magic) gets a nubile horny chick who sticks around, stays over and sleeps in his bed. He is eyeing her and claims to be straight but does not penetrate her. Morning comes and so does breakfast but he didn't enter her. Whatever.
