Relationshippal time machine

I forget where I first caught wind of this film, since it has yet to come out in the U.S., but its subject piqued my interest.

It's a documentary made by a Brit, Chris Waitt (that's that guy to the left), titled A Complete History of My Sexual Failures. In the film, homeboy basically takes the High Fidelity route and goes back to see why every girlfriend he's had has dumped him. (It seems like an OK movie -- You can read a Sundance review over here, if you like.)

I think it's a nice idea, but in reality, not a good one. You can't go back in time, you will not get "closure," and you also run the risk of opening old wounds. (So I guess my answer's no.) Call me a pansy if you want, but I'm keeping it real.

But that's me. What about you? If you had a chance to go back and talk to all your exes (dumped or not) about where/why your relationship went wrong, would you?

I have generated a general answer to that question: They were all crazy...fin...closure achieved.
