“A Complete History of My Sexual Failures”
Dumped Again
Amos Lassen
Chris Waitt, an independent filmmaker, takes us on a sexual and emotional journey as he interviews his past girlfriends as he tries to understand why they dumped him and it is quite revealing. There is a problem though--it becomes clear to the viewer that Waitt’s journey is how he simply reinforces his conceit and arrogance. He thinks he is quite a catch but we see that he is the only person to hold that opinion. His attitude shows his passive-aggressiveness.
We are privy to a list of his ex-girlfriends at the beginning of the film and it is nothing special. Waitt is not a bad looking man but not nearly as good looking as he thinks he is. We watch him reintroduce himself to each woman who has left him and he seems to be quite bitter. In fact, to me, he is an arrogant pig. In fact he tells each of the women how he once humiliated them and how he would like to do so again. He then goes looking for a new girlfriend so that he can be hostile to her and then you wonder what is with this guy. Is it no wonder he cannot find a girl? When he asks the girls why they dumped him, we do finally see a bit of humility.
The camera work is very amateur and nothing seems to have been planned out ahead of time. The editing seems unfinished but it lets us see Waitt as he is. Waitt does entertain us but he does so at his own expense. When the camera is on him we see his faults and the humor here is a bit strange. Waitt feels very free to talk about his own erectile problems but he spends way too much time talking about them. Because several of the scenes are obviously staged, sincerity seems to fall by the wayside and I was under the impression that the film was based on sincerity.
It does not matter how much of the film is real or not because he get the impression that Waitt is a complete fool and perhaps just plain nuts. I am surprised anyone would go out with him.
The film is not bad but it is not good. There are some moments of humor especially when he takes too many Viagra and hits the street and asks women to go out with him. It takes guys for someone to make a film like this about himself so I have to give Waitt’s credit for that.
