Unhung Hero

By: Jim

This movie is a scam. A stand-up comic figured he could get some publicity by pretending to have a tiny dick and making a pseudo-documentary (about as real as reality TV) about his travels all over the world, asking people in the street what they think about it (but never showing it) and looking to a few "experts" for a solution. The solution (surprise surprise) is that his only problem was thinking he had a problem, and he proves it by getting a dishy blonde to be his girlfriend.

I feel really stupid for buying this DVD, but maybe my stupidity will help somebody else make a smarter decision.

When Patrick Moote, professional comic, proposes to his girlfriend at a basketball game, she tells him that she cannot marry him because his penis is too small. I am pretty sure that none of my readers have this problem and even if one does, we can be fairly sure that he will not openly talk about it much less make a movie about the size of his schwanz. This is not an easy subject to discuss and has never really been talked about openly and I do not think you will movies about "teeny weenies". Moote is a brave man to bare himself so openly about his "problem". He decides to find out if, indeed, his penis is too small and we go on his quest with him. Along the way, issues are raised and I think it is interesting that one of those issues is that the proliferation of porn has led many to question their own family jewels after seeing how others make money from their own.

We are taken on a journey all over the world as Moote asks others about the size of his penis and while the film is very funny, it also looks at some the serious aspects on the matter of size. Moote had a hard time dealing with the reason that his fiancé turned down his proposal. If the turndown wasn't enough to depress him, his girlfriend goes a step further by turning him down on YouTube. At first Moote visits his ex lovers who confirm what his girlfriend said. Then he asks people on the street (both women and gay men) and asks them if size really matters to them and he even tells his parents why there will be no wedding. He even tells his childhood friends and then decides to try various enlargement methods such as the penis pump, pills and jelqing, a stretching technique.

He then sets out for South Korea where he finds shrines dedicated to the penis and then onto more remote locations trying to find some kind of tonic or elixir that will add girth and length to his teeny weenie (which, by the way, we never see).

As I stated earlier, the film is filled with humor but the message is quite serious. We become acutely aware that he world is preoccupied by "unrealistic ideas of penis size" thereby giving a false sense to what it means to be a man. A great personality and good looks are important but they do not seem to be enough. There is the thought that unless a man is well hung, he will not be able to sustain a lasting relationship.

The first part of the film is playful and it seems that Moote is playing a game but by the time we get to Korea, the film begins to become serious. The penis looms as a large idol to be worshipped and this film shows us clearly the false image that the penis takes in society. It is actually quite sad to see Moote so shaken by his own self-esteem and self-worth and this is caused by his own unknowing emphasis that he places on the size (or lack of) that he places on his penis. He begins to see himself in the way that women who are not blessed with large breasts see themselves. This is a look at one man's self reflection and eventual emotional redemption. We see the extent that society dictates our sense of self and it is somewhat heartbreaking.

I have to agree with what another reviewer said about Moote: "Even though his penis may be tiny, it definitely took some gargantuan balls to take on and star in a film on what having a small penis does to a man and what can be done to correct it". Basically the film is about Moote finding himself and dealing with his insecurities.
