Breaking Glass Pictures, which is the company behind the (Unreal TV reviewed) sensitive film about brotherly gay incest "Godless," once again goes where other home video distributors fear to tread in releasing "The Dickumentary: A Short History of the Penis" on DVD. This is at least the second time that Breaking delves into this area. The amusing (Unreal TV reviewed) breaking "cockumentary" "Unhung Hero" by comedian/actor Patrick Moote chronicles the efforts of Moote to enhance his endowment. Any review that allows phrases such as "fantastic four," "eight is enough," and "the chosen people" is a real treat for the fifth-grade boy in every man.
The most apt paraphrased expression regarding "History" is that 90 percent of men admit that this subject is very important to them, and the other 10 percent are liars. On a related note, offspring with an unusually open relationship with their male parent may want to consider giving this DVD as an completely unexpected Father's Day present next year.
Filmmaker Sofian Khan begins with the big bang to show how penises evolve from an always rigid tube that plays a role in rudimentary reproduction to the fleshy muscle that it is today, The scope of this biology lesson includes an up close look at the duck penis and a visit to a penis museum in Iceland. The founder of that exhibitionist space explains how a childhood hobby comes to expand to the large institution that is the center of this segment.
Khan moves on to the subject of circumcision. The topics this time include separate recent efforts in San Francisco and Germany to outlaw that practice. We also learn of the basis for the popularity of circumcision in South Korea; this includes footage of an elementary-school age boy who may as well hand over all of his lunch money right through graduating high school now.
The next portion of "History" addresses the issue of the extent to which size matters. The experts whom Khan consults include porn actresses who both provide solace to men on the lower end of the penis scale and give other male viewers reason to feel like porn stars. We additional see the process (including the end result) of a man who undergoes penis enlargement surgery.
Another segment focuses on New Yorker Jonah Falcon, who is very cocky (it had to be said) about his 13.5 penis that may be the largest one in the world. Independent web-based research regarding this reveals that bigger is not always better.
The analyses of the above topics nicely puts everything about a body part that receives undue attention in perspective. Your average man (and woman) forget about the basic biological function of the penis, and we learn that every man should feel fine about wherever he is on the bell-end curve. Of course, the reality is that guys at both extremes will continue to feel the way that they always have.
The DVD extras are deleted scenes and a "behind-the-scenes" feature.
