5.0 out of 5 stars If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it!, May 9, 2002

OH MY GAWD!!!! How do they do that!? This slick video of "organ origami" is a hilarious account of Simon Morley & David "Frendy" Friend's act that premiered in Melbourne, Australia. These two well-endowed wonders twist their willys into all sorts of shapes from a hamburger, hot dog, snail, pelican, wind surfer, to the Eiffel Tower and Loch Ness Monster! YOUCH! I bet that smarts! Unabashedly and unshamefully honest, this duo does live on stage, totally naked what some guys only imagine or do behind closed doors. The DVD also includes a "how-to" chapter that illustrates the fine art of genital manipulation. Learn how to do the infamous hamburger, snail, 3 wood, and other wonders of willydom! This is a non-sexual presentation even though there is total male frontal nudity and genital manipulation. Presented in documentary form, this film recounts the story of the origins of the act up to present performances with road companies at major festivals throughout the world. Not for the easily-offended, embarassed, or faint-of-heart, this video is hilarious and leaves you wondering two things: 1.) How'd they do that? & 2.) What are they going to do next? A few re-enactments borrowed from "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", shows Simon dressed only in a Silver lame cape standing on top of his Combi as Frendy drives through the Australian Outback and him and Frendy standing at the edge of King's Rock au naturel. A true camp classic, a great edition to the collection of rare and unusal DVD's....

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to say the least, October 22, 2002

Be forewarned, for those who are purchasing this for the sake of full frontal nudity, be warned that this is art and not pornography.

The movie is a documentary on the efforts and hardships of Simon Morley and his traveling show, the Puppetry of the Penis. In terms of struggling artists, this is a great documentary to show how hard it can be to get a show up and running. Add to the mix, full frontal nudity and you can see exactly how hard it can be (no pun intended).

The show in question, of course, is Dick Tricks and it will generate a chuckle out of you. It will also make many men go home and try these tricks at home. If this movie can create some added fun in the bedroom then it gets stars galore, otherwise a good rental for documentary purposes, or a great film to sit with you friends and laugh quite a bit.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2 and a half stars., June 24, 2008

At first I was laughing at what these guys where doing on stage with there own deeks. However, i stopped laughing when it would cut to behind the stage stuff and the guys on tour and how the tour was not the success they hoped it was.

By the time this thing had finished, i had stopped laughing, there is only so many tricks and gags you can do on this subject that can keep you laughing. It seemed like they have a total of about 15 tricks they do, and it's stretched in time with bits and pieces thrown in between to make it seem like more then a 10 minute show.

If you can rent this or find it on youtube you will see it's not really something you would want to own and watch again. It's much like the Mr Methane DVD, there is only so many fart jokes you can do before it begins to smell like the same old ^&%$#
