Even though the running time is short, the movie feels stretched out. Perhaps the curious subject matter would have been better served in, er, short form.

The subject of an eccentric new documentary, the Icelandic Phallological Museum is devoted to preserving the male genitalia of mammals.

A little slow and a whole heap surreal, "The Final Member" documents the search for that last specimen with a twinkle in its eye and warmth in its tone.

[C]ould easily be nothing but snickers and mockery, but the directors offer a work filled with warmth, humor and humanism.

The Final Member boasts a stranger-than-fiction subject so odd and funny it almost couldn't miss. But Bekhor and Math make the film much more than a limp gag.
