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

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.

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.

A funny adventure of a man trying to figure out why he sucks at relationships by going around and interviewing his ex-girlfriends. Sometimes he gets side tracked in his quest, which keeps the movie entertaining and interesting. Worth a watch.

You have to give props to a man who is willing to bear all in front of a camera. I am unsure as to whether certain parts of the film were staged or not, but for the most part it is easy to fall into this journey through a man's catacomb of relationships.

The film does feel like a staged documentary, however it is craftfully edited and packs a great score. There are funny moments that are at contrast with the pathetic life and aimless existence of our protagonist that transform the film from a potential bore to an interesting vie... read more

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

Critic Reviews
A sporadically entertaining portrayal of male humiliation and self-abnegation. Full Review
It's to Waitt's credit that there are genuine moments of poignancy in the film as well as laughs and sheer astonishment. Full Review
There's an occasional brief, fierce laugh born out of the absurdity of the situations. At other points, the women provide genuine insight into relationships. Thank god for their realism and sanity. St... Full Review
It's not as funny as the title suggests, but there's something endearing about this rough video diary in which filmmaker Chris Waitt takes a fly-on-the-wall approach to his past failures as a boyfriend. Full Review
It's very funny. It's slightly pathetic. It's comforting in a hey-nobody's-human kind of way. Full Review
It's a display of gross bad faith both as documentarist and lover, and its subject probably deserves never to get laid again. Full Review
Maybe, several years post-YouTube, it's just not enough anymore to train a camera on life; maybe the market demands that life be lived with the camera in mind. Full Review
Sexual Failures is edited well, the score is great and while certain scenes feel a bit staged, Waitt is immediately likable and a ball to watch on the big screen. Full Review
