From Amazon.co.uk

Set in LA among the same narcissistic, vain and pop culture-obsessed generation already celebrated in Kevin Smith's Clerks and Doug Liman's Swingers, Free Enterprise is a smart-aleck comedy that consciously holds a mirror up to the lives of twenty- and thirtysomethings everywhere. Anyone who grew up in the shadows of Star Trek and Star Wars will find plenty to laugh about and identify with here. The loose premise follows two self-professed geeks: Mark (Eric McCormack), in a delightful spin on Logan's Run, is agonising about reaching his 30th birthday before he has achieved anything much at all, while his slacker pal Robert (Rafer Wiegel) neglects his daytime editing job to woo a comic-reading, nerdy yet totally babelicious wish-fulfilment girlfriend. The great joy of the movie, however, is not the constant parade of witty movie in-jokes, but the appearance of William Shatner as himself. He plays a washed-up, boozy actor desperately touting to anyone who will listen his idea for "William Shatner's William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: The Musical" (words W. Shakespeare, music W. Shatner), displaying all the while a refreshing gift for comic understatement. Shatner brings real pathos and self-deprecating humour to the depiction of the gulf between the other characters' hero-worship of his on-screen persona and his subjective reality as a misunderstood actor. By the time he gets round to performing a mind-boggling bizarre rap version of Marc Anthony's soliloquy, the ageing Captain Kirk has redeemed himself, both in the eyes of the characters and the viewing audience. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Been There, Really, I have..... 21 Jan 2004
Format:DVD
This is a wondefully written and acted romantic comedy about two major SCI-FI fans whose lives are changed by jobs, women and William Shattner.

An all star cast and beautiful 16x9 picture along with a story that any long term or life long sci-fi fan can relate to (I certainly did!!!) this is a must have for anyone looking to laugh at themselves and the madness that is love and trek!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars There but for the grace of .... 13 Sep 2003
Format:DVD
This is a warm, wonderful film that will appeal to every sci-fi fan, and those who live with them and wish to understand them! It is laugh out loud funny to anyone with even a passing knowledge of Star Trek. William Shatner is great as a send up of himself, trying to get a Shakespearean film project off the ground - a rap musical of Julius Caesar with himself scripting, writing the music, directing and starring...

Watching the two talented leads (one of whom stars now in Will and Grace) was like watching my alternate life, had I not met my wife and been saved. We're both fans, but not the sort that believe that Next Generation was a fly-on-the-wall documentary...

This is hugely funny, deeply respectful of the original material and a rewarding evening's viewing. Watch and see...

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the sound track 18 Nov 2004
By bernie VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
At first I did not know what to make of this movie. Was it trying to be some Rocky Horror spoof thing or what? But I wanted to see Bill so I stuck it out. By the time I got around to turning it off, it was over. What happened? I found my self trying to out guess them before they could answer. They even mentioned my favorite Star Trek episode (28) "City on the Edge of Forever" written by Harlan Ellison ISBN: 1565049640.
You can't tell me that you haven't sat around with friends and rattled off different movies; or maybe even had some memorabilia. You might not have been so fanatic, but you can relate to this movie. Any way the last 15 minutes of this film equaled the first half in pure fun. It makes you want to go out and "wrap" yourself in Shakespeare.
