"Making fun of Trekkies...has always been rather like shooting fish in a barrel. ... So it says an awful lot about Roger Nygard's often-hilarious look at the 30-years-and-counting Star Trek phenomenon, and its fans in particular, that 'Trekkies' never really feels like a put down. It's all pretty funny, to be sure, but Nygard isn't so much interested in making fun of Trekkies as in taking a lighthearted look at their particular world, and just how far some have gone to honor their favorite television show. In 'Trekkies,' you can laugh with them, even as you're laughing at them." "The Trekkie phenomenon may fall short of common definitions of normalcy, but as a film, 'Trekkies' sure beats sleeping outside for days to see a mediocre movie about some galaxy far, far away."
