Review of A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (2008) by Christian H — 17 May 2014

This film was just on TV which reminded me I had seen it (and not reviewed it).

I saw this film originally at the the International Film Festival in my city in either 2008 or 2009. I think seeing it initially and getting the "audience soundtrack" I think made this film.

Chris Waitt decided to make this film about himself and his horrendously bad relationship track record which he sets off to investigate.

Chris presents much like Spike, Hugh Grant's room mate in Notting Hill, poor social skills, poor presentation and an almost complete lack of forsight into himself.

I believe having an audience "made" this film for me. There is a particular scene for example, where Chris takes certain drugs that affect the male member. With alcohol. Without the foresight to have a partner or sex toys or other methods of relief. I won't destroy the scene but as it progresses the entire audence groans, shudders and made noises like "Oh no, he's not going to is he; oh gawd he is..." kind of thing. This made it.

This movie has funny parts but it is also rather sad and pathetic...
