A Brilliant Conflict

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Remember when documentaries were for the intellectually elite? Classrooms and learning stuff and the idea that they would be a mainstream genre seemed ridiculous? Well gone are those days and we have a host of documentaries in every possible idea you can think of. This is yet another one. I would hazard to guess that this isn't meant to be a "serious" documentary though I do believe that the star of the film was very serious in his quest but it is just a fun, brainless, and yes incredibly shallow film about a man examining whether or not size matters...all over the world. You will likely recognize the guy (as soon as he told his story I remembered) how his girlfriend turned him down on live Television at a sporting event and the Youtube video went viral. Well this is the after effect of that. We find out that she didn't want to marry him because he has a small penis. Whether or not that is true...I don't know...seems a little much but he goes on a quest all over the world to find out how women, men and cultures view penis size. Some of it is actually interesting and will make you cringe and for many reviews on here, incredibly shallow.Our "hero" so to speak is comedian and Youtube sensation Patrick Moote. Now a lot of reviewers call this guy "whiny" and "shallow" but I will say that I give the guy credit for doing this. How many other guys would make an entire film based on the fact that they have a small manhood? He is truly putting himself out there. I see some genuine emotion in some of the scenes. He is genuinely upset about this and if its acting then he's a very good actor. He is a little pathetic and his one major breakdown is the tantrum of a child but aren't we all a little childish. Moote still has a certain "every guy" quality about him and he's charismatic enough to make the film interesting. He covers a wide variety of culture and talks to some interesting people and you will definitely learn very quickly that he has a very, very low self esteem but we want honesty out of documentaries and Unhung Hero gives you at least that.Moote is not the film maker here either. Instead this is done by Brian Spitz who doesn't have a lot of experience but I think the way he put the film together is done quiet well. Its not a brilliant documentary by any means but it is something that any adult can sit down and enjoy. I mean, for a documentary this one will run you through a ringer of emotions. You will laugh, you'll roll your eyes, you'll cringe, you'll feel empathetic for him and you enjoy journeying with him. You can't help but actually learn some things from this film and I think that is what a documentary should do so how can you say anything bad about it? Michael Moore Doc its not but entertaining...certainly. 7/10

Maybe size is correlated to emotional maturity? After seeing this documentary the woman who turned down our minus-size "hero" must have fully realized the immature bullet she dodge live on a Jumbotron. In fact after watching Patrick Moote drag this thin concept out to nearly the requisite 90 minutes, one imagines the likelihood of his getting a yes at the basketball (or whatever) game was probably largely in his under-developed mind. He minces, he whines, he asks him mother about his penis size(seriously, dude?) and generally gets on everyone he encounters nerves. In between not much happens. He goes to the adult video convention one imagines more for his own prurient interests that anything having to do with the stated reason for the "cockumentary". He goes to Asia for more genital-oriented nonsense and eventually makes it back to the U.S. where he ends with some bad stand-up. How someone makes a whole documentary solely about themselves where they still come off unattractive and irritating is almost difficult to believe. In short, there's not much here.

"UnHung Hero" charts a humiliated man's fact-finding journey as he consults porn stars, doctors and anthropologists to learn whether the size of one's manhood matters.I must say the sexologist is highly entertaining, explaining why he does not let people urinate in his establishment. He seems very laid back, very knowledgeable, but still is basically the keeper of a brothel. Not sure how you get to be the person who runs a house where people sit around and play with themselves.Seeing Jonah Falcon was cool, as he is a very strange guy. I love that the world's largest man is not remotely a good-looking fellow. Not grungy like Ron Jeremy, either, but just dorky and undesirable.

The sum total of this documentary (in my opinion) is that - Men can be as needlessly obsessed with their 'penis size' as women can be needlessly obsessed with the size of their breast.This flick takes the viewer to some fairly exotic world wide locations in search of treatments to increase the size of a mans penis. The treatments are strange and some are absolutely grotesque. Our host & 'seeker' often comes across as a phony but what he shows to the viewer is a learning experience and it is best to just steer clear of the enhancement nonsense.If you ever wondered about this topic this is a good source to clear your mind!
