UnHung Hero Trailers

When Patrick Moote's girlfriend rejects his marriage proposal at a UCLA basketball game on the jumbotron, it unfortunately goes viral and hits TV networks worldwide. Days after the heartbreaking debacle, she privately reveals why she can’t be with him forever: Patrick’s small penis size. "Unhung Hero" follows the real life journey of Patrick as he boldly sets out to expose this extremely personal chapter of his life confronting ex-girlfriends, doctors, anthropologists and even adult film stars. From Witch-Doctors in Papua New Guinea to sex museums in Korea, Patrick has a lot of turf to cover on his globe trotting adventure to finally answer the age old question: Does size matter?

Reviews
ShangLuda Admirable film.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Neddy Merrill 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.
gavin6942 "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.
Suradit Assuming this is an actual account of the experiences of the central character, it is more pathetic than amusing.On the one hand Patrick seems rather brave to choose to propose marriage in a stadium full of people, but rather childish to think that such an act was in any way cool and equally childish to have so poorly understood his relationship with the woman … who promptly refused him. If she at least cared for him a little she might have said she wasn't ready to marry, but to say it was because his penis was too small was clearly aimed at making him more miserable. What kind of relationship had this been? Why was she still in it if she was so eager to bail and cause some pain while doing so?In the same way, his willingness to announce to everyone, from his mother to his friends to a classroom full of strangers in Korea to an assortment of "professionals" who deal with male genitalia that his penis is small suggests a somewhat brave, self-confident person, but that is obviously not who he really is. That he as an individual is obsessed with this issue after being publicly humiliated might be somewhat understandable, but what I found surprising is that coping with this real or imagined problem has created a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide and that some men are willing to do bizarre things like lift 300 pound weights tied to their genitals or allow mutilations by injections or surgery in a totally vain attempt to find a solution.But again Patrick seems to make himself seem more silly than determined. Even his mother tells him he is a quitter, which is borne out by behavior on this sojourn. He is bouncing around the world looking for an answer, but when he is set to bravely undergo some dubious injections he runs away at the last moment and when about to undergo plastic surgery, the sight of someone else under the knife sends him running off to vomit from fear or revulsion. And when he decides to head back home he first withdraws into a petulant silence and then has a hissy fit of self- loathing when it finally dawns on him how ridiculous it all is.He should have probably listened to some good advice he received while on his quest for a magic solution. One gay guy (Savage?) said he had no problem with a partner's relatively small penis, but could not endure the partner's constant obsessive moaning about it. He and an Asian women both said there was a lot more to loving someone than this one, probably exaggerated, characteristic flaw. In a way Patrick did seem to finally absorb this wisdom and start to develop a relationship with a woman he met along the way. She too seemed unconcerned by his supposed inadequacy, but she also appeared to be a little wary that Patrick wouldn't stop obsessing about it.Overall the "documentary" had less to do with the "size matters" issue, although it was amazing how many people were bothered by it, and more to do with a sadly immature person whose underdeveloped sense of self was a bigger problem than his possibly underdeveloped genitals. It all might appeal to prurient teenagers or someone studying personality disorders, but there's not much for anyone else in this "documentary."
jm10701 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.
