Films like I Am a Sex Addict.

I Am a Sex Addict (2006) reads as Neutral, measured, measured comedy / romance, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
