Nonureva Really Surprised!

Bereamic Awesome Movie

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

princebansal1982 I really liked this movie when it started. It is quirky and funny and very different with a style of its own. It is low budget but made in style with lot of disclaimers so that even the low budget becomes a plot point. In many respects it is similar in style to "Private Parts" which was a movie about Howard Sterns. I loved that movie. But unlike that movie which had a story to tell, this one doesn't.It just comes across as a collection of incidents rather than a whole story. And it is awfully repetitive. Also after watching it for some time you get more and more tired of the narcissistic director/lead of the movie. I do think that the movie has potential and is still worth a watch. But frankly it could have been much better, especially with a better script.

mturbina You would think the lead could do a better job of acting since he's just playing himself, for God's sake, and you would think a movie with this title would not put you to sleep. I rented this as a fairly liberal person and a fan of "Sex and the City," almost expecting to laugh at whatever society considers "excessive" sexuality. Caveh has an irritating voice on so many levels-that childish lisp, that flat delivery and the self-indulgence of the content itself. Am I supposed to share his offense that he inadvertently hired a porn star to play his ex-wife? What was he doing surfing those websites when he found out, anyway, who is he to judge? My reaction to Caveh was mostly disgust with his self-absorption, ranging to being absolutely CREEPED OUT when he groped receptionists' breasts at massage parlors. Just when I thought the "Eeewwww" factor couldn't get worse, I listened to him reminisce how much he enjoyed himself by groping and getting thrown out, how it was a big entertaining game for him. Also listening to him describe his rough-up a prostitute fantasies to a friend, who did not react with any normal response. Where does he find these people? This was the first time ever I felt like asking Blockbuster for my money back.

ametaphysicalshark This film chronicles director Zahedi's addiction to prostitutes over the course of many, many years, and presents an honest and realistic portrait of sexual compulsions and fetishes. Of interest as well are Zahedi's attempts to reconcile his oft violent sexual fantasies with his various attempts at healthy relationships. One has to wonder how true to life Zahedi's portraits of his relationships are, except maybe for his final relationship, but they make for an interesting depiction of dysfunctional and atypical 'romantic' relationships either way.The film's humor genuinely works. As many moving, sad, and let's be honest- pathetic moments there clearly were in Zahedi's life, he is able to portray them in a humorous self-deprecating light, which is testament to his talent as a filmmaker, because these events could very easily have made one of the most disturbing and real pure dramas put on film, but Zahedi's Allen-like psychological self-obsession comes across as endearing and funny. That's not to say the film's more dramatic moments, such as its beautiful, understated, ending don't work, because they do, but the film's quality is increased by the humorous contentThe film is obviously low-budget and essentially a mockumentary, so don't look for any great moments of technical film-making, but Zahedi is no bore and certainly a solid directo who knows how to pace a film. A lot of people have a problem with Zahedi's behavior towards women, but it appears that by the end of the film he is happy and content in a healthy relationship. Caveh Zahedi's "I Am a Sex Addict" is far from a perfect film, but it's honest, entertaining, unique, well-made, and worth your time.8/10

Liz C The guy is obviously sick and I can't believe that he found somebody to fund this self indulgent masturbatory aid. He wants so desperately for you to like him and accept him that it just comes off as slimy and annoying.I got to see this movie for free and I still feel as though I have been cheated. It's no wonder that this film was rejected by Sundance, I'm glad at least one group of people had the chance to tell him how crappy this movie was. p.s. although there are lots of boobies and sex scenes, none of them are even worth fast forwarding to.
