Zahedi pulls off the difficult trick of making you despise, pity and admire him. You get the feeling it's been much the same for the women in his life.

Zahedi isn't afraid to put himself out there, even when his thoughts and actions are profoundly unflattering.
04/20/06
The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking.
05/05/06
Top CriticZahedi is wry and certainly fearless as he pours his sex life onto the screen, but around the ninth time he goes cruising for prostitutes it gets a little hard to take.
05/19/06
Candor wins points almost anywhere, and that's what Zahedi has, in spades.
06/15/06
Top CriticAlthough it's blunt, powerful stuff, it's also quite often amusing.
04/06/06
Self-involved and self-indulgent. It's almost as if [Zahedi] made the movie for himself, for his loved ones and for no one else.
05/19/06
The movie nonetheless can't sustain the thin interest of a man's obsession with outlaw fellatio.
09/24/07
Zahedi demonstrates that he's a diary-film maker who can transcend confession -- and its lurid cousin, exhibitionism, too.
04/19/06
Top CriticThis strange little movie is a mixed bag, hard to eagerly recommend but also hard to completely dismiss.
03/01/07
a fun and unique movie that isn't soon forgotten
09/30/06
I kinda don't wanna burst Zahedi's bubble, because at least he's being open and exploratory and honest about how infatuated with himself he is, which is more than can be said for most men, but still: Bwahahaha, get over yourself, dude.
05/11/06
... while some may bail early, those who stay to the end are likely to dwell on Zahedi’s unwavering (some would say unrelenting) belief in his own artistry, as well as the film's many funny, quotable lines ...
04/27/06
... Zahedi tries to construct a narrative from his epic bad behavior, presumably for the purpose of shedding light on something. What this is remains mysterious after a single viewing, but not so mysterious as to inspire a second.
04/28/06
Top CriticEven if you can keep it in your pants, you'll be tickled and intrigued by Zahedi's look at why he couldn't.
06/15/06
Consequently, I Am a Sex Addict is ruthlessly frank in its freakish frivolity and absurdly lyrical in the grubby ramblings of its professed and confused cad.
04/26/06
We're encouraged to root for his happy ending, but he doesn't quite work hard enough to earn it.
04/14/06
I Am a Sex Addict starts out amusingly. But, as any one-joke movie is bound to, it quickly becomes tiresome.
