Unhung Hero (now on video)


Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.

The SXSW Festival was just on, from what I hear. Pardon, but I don't go to this illustrious Austin display of music and film, not even on my laid-off reporter's press pass. At my level of income I can't even afford the Cleveland International Film Festival (and I used to work for them).

But every so often the attractions from both come my way via DVD. It does save on travel expense and the possibility of a plane crash (sorry, I just finally got around to see Tom Hanks in CAST AWAY, and don't feel much like flying, for maybe hundreds of years). And a SXSW "sensation" that arrived can now be savored by you home viewers as well, I guess. It's UNHUNG HERO. Brobably better known to others as that penis documentary.

UNHUNG HERO, though directed by one Brian Spitz, stars Patrick Moote, an aspiring actor/stand-up comic (possibly a raison d'etre for this film right there). He undertakes a personal, worldwide journey of discovery over his professed small penis and whether "size matters."
