As someone who is a huge fan of documentaries I had high expectations going in to this especially since I was familiar with Gorgeous George's infamous exploits but was soon confronted with easily one of the most long drawn out propaganda pieces that is not only mostly filled with lies but dull as well.
There are a total of two moments which were semi-interesting (which lasts less than a minute in this almost 30 minute documentary) 1) is where George discusses his childhood 2) the brief moments that Kevin (George's co-host) discusses his life. 98% of the documentary is just George discussing how big he is with nothing that backs it up (and other random crap).
As mentioned before the major problem I have with this documentary is how Brandon & Kenny try to make George look like a victim when he has instigated most of the drama he has caused online. Why Kenny & Brandon never challenge him is at the minimum lazy and the other extreme covering up his infamy (it would be like doing a documentary on John Wayne Gacy and not discussing all the boys he murdered). The other problem I have was they didn't interview any of the people from SA, goons & trolls to get their side of the story. Either way it makes them look incompetent as documentary film makers. If that wasn't bad enough the editing job was a mess. I feel like they could have summarized what George was saying in a 1/3 of the time. The end result was the film feels excruciatingly longer than it really needs to be. Also their music selections are very generic and of the public domain or royalty free quality.
In review this is of the more horrible documentaries I have ever seen. George gets free reign to spout out what ever he says without getting challenged. It's almost like "A Day in The Life" in terms of propaganda except far more drawn out and far less interesting. The editing could have been far more precise and they left in far too much stuff that should have been left on the cutting room floor. In the end it is almost unwatchable at times and borderlines on being useless for what it is.
If you want to know about the real Gorgeous George there are sites like Encyclopedia Dramatica which have far more accurate information than this tripe.
