A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures follows independent filmmaker Chris Waitt as he interviews his ex-girlfriends in an attempt to find out why they dumped him.
This revealing and humorous documentary sees the slacker filmmaker go on a sexual and emotional odyssey in a desperate quest to solve his innumerable problems.
When scraggly, endearingly hapless filmmaker Chris Waitt gets dumped by his girlfriend the last in a long line of disastrous affairs he resolves to find out what exactly is wrong with him.
Why have all his relationships ended in acrimony or indifference? What will it take for him to dodge everlasting loneliness?
The only way to find out is to ask his past paramours point blank. And so begins an odyssey of inadequacy as our clueless crusader confronts exes who turn out to be mostly incredulous, crushed, or cross as they skewer him with remembrances of his chronic lateness, self-absorption, and delusion.
Not even his mother can muster much sympathy! Meanwhile, Waitt attempts to jump-start his love life through Internet dating.
But lo and behold, a different kind of inadequacy emerges a kind that no amount of therapy, acupuncture, or even a session with a dominatrix can fix. Suffice to say nothing short of a Viagra overdose does the trick, sending Waitt careening to a desperately uncomfortable climax I mean, catharsis.
Of course watching Waitt get his comeuppance is a deliciously gratifying romp for every woman ever wronged by a useless boyfriend.
But A Complete History of my Sexual Failures is more than just sweet revenge or hilarious farce; at its core are soft, gooey truths about the sacrifices and self-knowledge required for grown-up love.
