Strong and Moving!

Good concept, poorly executed.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I agree with most of the other comments that Pat continuously going on about his smallish dick to the whole world gets a bit old rather quickly, the least he could have done was show his full bone and let the audience decide, but I did find it interesting and valuable that he researched the issue as well a he did and came up with the conclusion that there really isn't much you can do about it other than really invasive surgery. I've seen a lot of naked guys in my life and most of them aren't much to write home about. Generally small guys aren't the ones who are showing off and being photographed like the big guys are so people get the idea the "correct" size is big. Used to be that women just had to live with the breasts that they came with, now fairly simple to get plastic ones installed, not so easy for guys. I wouldn't watch it again.

Patric said it best himself. "I'm going to come out as an insecure, narcissistic asshole with a small dick." Or something like that. It's all true, it's the overall impression I got of the protagonist.While production value is what I expected, it didn't seem like he wanted to do anything at all. All the way through the film he has a look on his face that screams "kill me now.", not a magnet for my attention by any standards.Sauna was a good idea that was executed in the most unprofessional manner you could dream of. The only thing that would have made that scene worse is if he went in there 30 minutes after popping Viagra. What he did is the reason camera phones are banned in several school showers. If I were in there, I'd sue. Just saying.The crew made a good job of planning the progression of the film, and the amount of locations, people and cultures in it is the best part of the film as a whole. It's also a unique documentary. Not in terms of film making, some of the work actually seems uninspired and lazy, but you don't watch a doc because of the brilliant cinematography.

UnHung Hero (2013) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Mildly entertaining documentary about Patrick Moote, a man who gets on the jumbo screen at a sporting event to propose to his girlfriend but she rejects him. We learn that it was because of his small penis so Patrick goes around the world trying to make it bigger. UNHUNG HERO kept me mildly entertained as I watched it but I had a hard time viewing it as a documentary. For starters, there's never any proof that this girlfriend dumped him because of his penis size. I mean, perhaps she was just embarrassed at the time? Perhaps she just wasn't ready to settle down? Perhaps hearing from her on if she walked off because of his penis size would have helped things. Also, a lot of this just seems to be done for humor as Patrick is constantly talking about his small penis. We never really see it either so who knows what the truth is. With that said, there are some funny moments scattered throughout and especially when he goes overseas to see how those men handle having a small penis and see what they do to try and make it bigger. We get a few doctors and sex experts talking about sizes and the history of men worrying about it. Again, if you've got nothing better to do then this is something worth watching. However, it's certainly not a well-researched or detailed film.

I had the pleasure of seeing the world premiere of Unhung Hero at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. Unhung Hero provides a really humorous look at professional comedian Patrick Moote's struggle to deal with the angst of having a small penis. His neurosis and insecurity translates into a very humorous, entertaining and simultaneously provocative documentary. He raises many issues such as whether the proliferation of pornography has led to the exaggeration of expectations and increased our sexual insecurities. He takes on a humorous worldwide journey asking whether his penis is too small and what he should do about it. In the process he explores many bizarre techniques for increasing penis size. While the film is humorous, he uses a comedian's insight to explore humanity's obsession with the size of genitalia. In so doing, he literally probes many hard questions about our attitudes towards sexuality. Unfortunately, the film's subject might make it difficult for it to gain the mainstream audience that it deserves. Anyway, Unhung Hero is recommended to anyone who is willing to think about our sexual mores with an open mind and a sense of humor.
