I had NO idea who Tyler Oakley was when I started watching this film because I assumed the film would explain that, which it sort of did, but not very well. I am sure this doc is great for fans of Tyler Oakley who want to know more about his personal life and journey to fame (which seemed to be mostly teen aged girls judging by those who attended his live shows). For those of us who don't live on Youtube we needed more scenes of what he actually does, not just a 5 second clip of him in a onesie doing some slap dance with his pal.
I actually found Tyler and his story interesting - he found a niche for his talent, and I am sure he will parlay that into an adult career when the YouTube bloom wears off, but the makers of this film underestimated who their audience could be in making this doc and should have shown what he does. I found some of his broadcasts on Youtube and in about three minutes figured
out what the hoopla was about - shame the film makers didn't do that.
