hris Waitt has serious problems with women. Every girlfriend he has ever had has eventually dumped him. So what can he do to become less of a loser? This painfully personal, yet cleverly humorous, documentary shows Waitt’s quest to answer this burning question. In the process, he contacts all of his previous girlfriends to get to the bottom of the problem. In a classic DIY-fashion he attacks the issue from every angle, and comes up with a bunch of wild and varying experiments and solutions. These include doctors, psychologists, dominatrices and a fistful of Viagra.
Waitt plays the loveable loser well. He also knows how to write good comedy around this funny, yet tragic, subject, which happens to be him. Waitt happily makes himself out to be a pathetic sod that no woman can stand. And still, we root for this scruffy slacker, wearing his constant look of pending doom. A man so ambitious and passionate about showing all his shortcomings to the world can’t be all that bad, can he?
