Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

this hard hitting doc about peoples struggles in daily life by turning to beloved franchises that makes them special just by turning up in tribute as one of their idols was heartfelt and made me very proud to help fund as for an resident of united kingdom I seen loads of hard hitting docs about peoples struggles it touches people but instead of franchises to turn for guidance we have self help focus therapy groups as for this doc it makes people from all walks of life come together in celebration and some of the stories are harrowing that this deserves an award an gem that with continue it's legacy for generations to come. 10/10 rating.frankie holtzmann smalesalienbugstomperfan

If you ever asked yourself "Who are these Ghostbusters cosplayers and why do they love this movie so much?", this surprisingly fun, positive and moving documentary explores the fandom, friendships and personal stories of the cosplayers/devotees of the classic 80s movies 'Ghostbusters' and 'Ghostbusters II' and the new reboot 'Ghostbusters (2016)'. This film is not 'Trekkies' which had attempted to make fun or laugh with the audience at the fans of the Star Trek franchise. A great tribute to the fans who commit their time, money and schedules to make people feel great in their communities. Great personal, heartwarming interviews with the fans from around the world and features interviews from the celebrities and creators of the original films. A great companion piece on Netflix to watch with the original movies and to watch before the new Ghostbusters reboot.

First off, if "Sizzlegeek" is looking for his "true" Ghostheads movie, he could just get off his computer and go make his own movie about these Ghostheads. Nothing is stopping him/her, so stop wasting time by writing biased reviews and go make the movie if it's that easy. Jeeze.I want to say that I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this film! I discovered it by hearing about in on the "Opie and Jimmy" show and I was beyond impressed. It was executed brilliantly and there was everything...like an emotional roller coaster. There were sad parts, happy parts and I laughed a lot and enjoyed it immensely. I now have an appreciation of this group of people and will look for them at a comic con or event and go up and shake their hand. I never realized just how this movie impacted people. I have seen the original movies once or twice, but I never really gave them a second thought. I will now re-watch them with a new appreciation.

This provides some nice insight into the great things that the Ghostbusters community does for each other and for others. Although it focused a little too much on one individual and it would've been nicer to see more groups and members given the spotlight a bit more. I wish the moments where people talk about wives not liking it or "needing to keep it separate" from your wife would have ended up on the cutting room floor. I feel like one of the intentions of this documentary was to show that the "overdoing-it nerd" stereotype is not true, and I feel like these conversations went against that idea. Ghostheads, as a community, do great things and help others and, at least in cases I'm familiar with, our wives fully support what we do. Overall, it definitely captures the spirit of who we are and what we do and is an entertaining look at the world of Ghostheads.
