    This is one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. It?s also very touching and quite moving at times. For me this is a big apology from Chris Waitt, for all the pain and annoyance he's caused an alarming amount of girls. The tables really do turn on him though as the fil...( read more)m gets gut-wrenchingly personal and we see his true regret regarding the only girl he's ever really loved. For me this is top notch film making, or very close to it anyway. If it weren't for certain staged moments and moments where he try's a little too hard to get a laugh and looses focus of what he really wants to achieve, it would be a 5 star film. I think it?s a you either love it or you hate it movie, personally, I love it!

    brave, but very very awkward

    Peculiar character purports to an honest analysis of his failed relationships but a lot of the situations seem manipulated and contrived. It is undoubtedly funny, moving and raw, regardless.

    At times frustrating and hard to watch, but always keeps your interest.

    This is a documentary with heart, its light hearted subject brings around some awkward situations during the first hour. There are a lot of laughs to have from this guys misfortune. Near the end though is where the movie takes a more serious turn when this guy falls in love with ...( read more)one of his ex's who is now pregnant. Chris Waitt has made a documentary which at times seems staged but it doesnt matter as the whole journey is fun to watch.

    Looks like a partly fake (aka mocumentary) instead. Sorta provocative, wicked & emotional still.

    'Why... why do girls keep dumping me?'

    "You thought for quite a while there that you were Jesus. You know? You actually believed it. That's kinda delusional."
    "You look such a scruffy twat... contacting your girlfriends clearly isn't working... Maybe you're gay. Maybe you need to meet a man."

    Okay, expected better, Pretty sure it is all set up and not a real documentary, which is a shame. Would have been better if it was real.

    If your self-esteem is feeling a little past it's use-by date this little "mockumentary" will bring you up to George Clooney level. Watch Director Chris Waitt go from depressed, gormless twit to happy gormless twit. Chris interviews ex-girlfriends to examine how it all went wrong...( read more) with brutal and hilarious results. Above all else a very brave experiment of self-examination. Watch for the Beer & Viagra sequence and Chris' mum using the C-word!

    Grotesquely funny film, which will have you cringeing and crying with laughter all at the same time.
  • May 10, 2009
    Pretty funny and quite deep, regardless of how staged some of the scenes may or may not be.
