UnHung Hero (2013)

It's a subject that certainly does deserve to be explored - but it certainly could have been done so much better. The final half hour of this documentary contains moments so emotional and insightful that it almost makes Moote's obnoxious behaviour and narration during the first hour worth sitting through.Unfortunately, its interesting points are so few and far between that the whole show becomes an insipid and occasionally stomach-turning pity party for Moote. Nonetheless, the documentary does exactly what any film studying this subject matter ought to do: expose its protagonist as a cripplingly insecure person in need of psychological - not physical - help.

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.

I think this guy saw his way to fame and fortune and set out on a strange path right from the start. I don't believe that the proposal was real, I think it was set up to go wrong in order to get a viral video. I don't know if the idea for this documentary was planned right from the start or it came later. Basically, Patrick comes across as completely insincere at all times, if he is an actor I don't think he is a great one, he looks like he's pretending in the proposal video and there is never a point in this film when I believe him or his 'struggle'. Not a great film, I got bored very quickly and doesn't tell us anything new.

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.
