Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Tickled is such a weird creature, a documentary about the "Sport" of competitive endurance tickling. Yep, you read that right.However that is merely the beginning, as the documentary delves deeper it gets dark. Really, really dark.Not to ruin anything but there is so much more and the subject matter is remarkable, trouble is its ruined by a very lackluster near spineless documentary filmmaker who squanders the potential.Within moments I felt like I was watching another scripted documentary alike Catfish (2010) the concept was too fantastical and everything just felt too convenient.However upon investigation it certainly appears to be legitimate and once you've watched the documentary you'll realise that is a really scary fact.Well made and truly fascinating subject matter but handled by people who were just out of their depth.We can only dream what could have been! Do hope this doesn't develop a TV show like Catfish otherwise my spidey sense will start tingling again.

Sometimes when i'm bored i'll watch porn with a really long introduction so i become attached to the people in the video and this is basically what that is, if you have a weird sadistic fetish like me you'll probably find your fingers getting kinda sticky within this documentary and that's a good thing. most of the footage is good quality so if your a cinophile that'll be ticking(tickling) your boxes and if you haven't yet picked up a kink for tickling then you're about to.In all seriousness this actually a very good little film and i really enjoyed it. but anyway in the words of my dwarf god "yer makin' a chicken out of a feather" and i don't know what that means but oh dear lord do i want to have torbjorns 20 children right ow.(((im really sorry god please don't hold this against me)))

The mere idea of "competative tickling" is so out of this world that of course you would make a documentary about it! Add in a bunch of outrageous threats from the company once you look into it - It's gold from the get-go!Tickled follows journalist David Farrier, and Dylan Reeve as they dig deep down the rabbit hole to the sickest places imaginable.. And no! None of them is the tickling itself!The film is fantastic, it takes itself serious and even when moments arrive where they easily could mock and go for a quick laugh they stay factual and in the most parts let the "Jane O'Brien Media" speak for themselves. Tickled is the best film of the year so far.John du Pont, Robert Durst, Jeffery Epstein, David D'Amato(?)

'TICKLED': Four Stars (Out of Five)Critically acclaimed documentary flick; about an online tickling competition, involving young athletes tickling each other. The film was directed by first time feature filmmakers David Farrier and Dylan Reeve. Farrier is a New Zealand entertainment journalist, who also stars in the movie. He met a lot of harsh resistance, while investigating the film's story, from a producer of the 'tickling endurance sport' (named Jane O'Brien). The struggles Farrier and Reeve had making the film, becomes as much apart of the story as the tickling itself. The movie has received mostly rave reviews from critics, and it's become a small indie hit (at the Box Office). I think the film is really well made, and extremely intriguing. The movie begins with a montage of clips, from Farrier's other obscure entertainment stories. Then we see him come across an 'endurance tickling' video. He's intrigued by it, and he then decides to write the producers of the video (Jane O'Brien Media) about doing a story on the sport. He gets a very negative reply, from the corporation, which accuses him of wanting to put a 'gay slant' on the videos (as they insist the 'endurance competition' is exclusively heterosexual). Farrier, and his friend Dylan Reeve, then decide to investigate the subject further; as they make a documentary about their journalistic journey. The movie is a very insightful (and educational) look, at how much those with a lot of money (and power) can get away with. It's involving, and always interesting; and at times it seems more like a legal thriller, than a film about an odd fetish. The material is disturbing, and often hard to watch, but it's also really well made. As far as documentaries go, this one is pretty fascinating (and informative).Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/YnZSF_6sbsA
