UnHung Hero
When Moote's former girlfriend publicly rejected his marriage proposal on the jumbotron at a UCLA basketball game, the video quickly went viral. After she privately revealed to Moote that her reason for being unable to marry him was because his penis size left something to be desired, he began exploring the issue on camera, traveling around the world and confronting ex-girlfriends, doctors, anthropologists and adult film stars to find out whether penis size actually matters.
The film premiered at South by Southwest in 2013[4] and is currently available on demand on Showtime.[5] It is also available to watch instantly on Netflix. It currently garners a 45% rating at Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.8/10 rating on IMDB.
