I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

"Free Enterprise" is at its most charming as a love letter to the original Star Trek series. The dialogue is peppered with references and Kirk's "risk is our business" speech is even trotted out to win back a lost love. And then there's William Shatner, fully willing to make fun of himself.Outside of the hero worship, it's kind of an awkward romantic comedy, dressed up in hip L.A. culture. For some reason, this isn't as novel as it was back in the nineties and I think it's largely due to the dialogue. I mean, there are ways to subtly depict geek lifestyle rather than just name-checking everything. That actually gets pretty old.Regardless, the leads are well cast, it's got its share of one0liners, and I can appreciate the tone of the whole thing.6/10

I stumbled across this movie on TV today and was really blown away. Who would have thought of a romantic comedy about two Trekkies(or Trekkers, not sure what the term is these days)? The movie appears to be at least somewhat autobiographical, and the story rings true.Shatner comes through with the performance of a lifetime. His portrayal of himself is vulnerable and believable. His obsession with creating musical version of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caeser" is hilarious and it's really funny to see Shatner poking fun at himself.All in all, this movie is surprisingly good and although really aimed at sci-fi fans, it is accessible to anyone. I highly recommend this lighthearted film.

I could see where they were trying to go with this, but the delivery was just embarrassingly bad at times. I am assuming budgetary constraints stopped them from getting decent actors and prevented re-takes of scenes that screamed for it. I laughed out loud at times but mostly because I was trying so hard to like it.The acting was really awful. Exceptions were the leads: McCormack, England, Weigel and Shatner (in that order). Everyone else was a D acting job. Worth watching only if you're an old Trek fan or McCormack fan. I have to say I was impressed after knowing him only from Will & Grace to see the range of his talent. Gotta love the Logan's Run references throughout the movie too!

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I saw this one on cable. "Free Enterprise" is about a bunch of thirty year old movie geeks in L.A. If you can catch all the movie reference jokes, you are a Movie God. I think I caught most of them. "My romantic life has been like a Fellini movie...8 1/2 weeks." If that joke makes any sense to you, you need to see this flick. When the guys were hanging out and basking in their pop culture omnipotence, I had a good time. All the scenes with Shatner were great too. But there is a good portion of the flick taken up by relationship problems. The guys turn on each other when a fantasy girl drops from heaven, (she reads Sandman!), and steals one of the geeks away. Best friends analyze each other and explain why they're still single. Why can't you commit?! I was waiting for the guy with the glasses to charge his friend a bill for psychiatric services rendered. These scenes were annoying. But thankfully they don't take up a majority of the movie.This movie will be best appreciated by thirty year old sci-fi movie geeks. If you are in that category, you should check out this flick.
