Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

headly66 I new I was in for a treat when the filmmakers themselves announced that this was a cult classic in the opening Star Wars style scroll. Please. Cult classic usually means low quality crap liked by only the people it was directly made for and this mess is no different. The acting for the most part is ham handed and self conscious, the directing is kind of juvenile and the script is incoherent. This is obviously trying very hard to be a Kevin Smith rip off, using the same dialog style and supposed sly references only Trekkie geeks would get, sadly it's not even close to Smith's worst. It is also a blatant take on Swingers with the lovable loser theme and even uses one of the same actors. At points you think it may be getting better and there are even a few giggles here and there but untimely it fails. There is a scene in the diner near the middle that may be one of the worst written I have ever viewed. Also the amazingly real to life situation where poor average looking Star Trek geeks get laid every other day by a new model is just boring. The last scene with Shatner rapping is just ridiculous, in fact the whole self deprecating act he puts on through this snore fest is embarrassing and just like this movie, does not work.

dantown I love the "idea" of this movie: Two Star Trek fans/losers actually get into the film industry,sort of: As Ancillary editors/aspiring movie directors-in short: Half-baked.They live the life. They have hot sex or something. At least they think they do. Their weakness for all kinds of cheezy action-figure toys and comic books actually fills their lives with a kind of Bushido warrior ethic. Or something like that. Arrested development makes them both charming and utterly hopeless as dating/marriage prospects. They deserve to fail. And yet,they muddle through.Who woulda thunk it? They borrow the idea of a father-figure/ghost from Woody Allen's "Play It Again Sam", by way of the fat, sad, and relentlessly self-reinventing William Shatner. Captain Bill is reading a porno-mag-the "long way"- when they literally stumble upon him. Our two young heroes somehow make it to the dreaded age:3-0,with their childhood intact, and add a little bit of wisdom to their age.They actually take Bill Shatner under their wings,in his forlorn,shabby state, and re-introduce Bill into the world of romance. Bill finds love, as the flawed person/persona of James T. Kirk.To hate William Shatner is to love him. To love him,likewise. Shatner has escaped all the critics,adroitly.He has won,ultimately,the game of life.This movie is an ode to Bill Shatner,and a fairly good movie,made on the cheap,by two kids with a dream.

Sunshineyness Okay... Some funny bits. Some funny character stuff about the nature of being a non-stereotypical geek. The actors feel flat and there isn't much really going on in the movie....but please.Talk about sexist. You're telling me that guys like that who've spent their entire lives hanging in comic book shops, conventions, toys stores has NEVER ONCE RAN INTO ANOTHER FEMALE SCI FI GEEK! Oh! Until that magical day where he FINALLY DOES.Yeah, okay, we're not all supermodels and have obnoxious breathy voices like that chick did. But hey, all the males ain't as attractive as those dudes were....But please. A large majority of my friends are geeks exactly like those guys were and a large majority of them are females. You go to opening night of Ep3 you are going to find a lot of women there... and no some of us will not be there because our boyfriends make us.This movie just perpetuates the great myth. Women only care about shoes, they don't "get" Star Trek and comics OH! Except for one! Only one! But they never meet any others.

Beast_of_Bourbon Sorry to those who think this thing's an instant classic, but 'Free Enterprise' was terrible.  The only movie I've seen that was worse was 'Dogma.'  Even though William Shatner, like George Carlin in 'Dogma,' gives it a microgram of watchability, this flick was not funny, not interesting, not entertaining, and definitely not worth remembering.I dig Shatner and Star Trek/sci-fi and got most of the desperately hip references, but I just loathed virtually all of the characters.  I didn't care about anything in this movie!  'Master of Disguise' had better dialogue.  'The Ladies Man' had more believable relationships.  And what was with the film editing?  It was like watching a deck of cards being shuffled (badly)... hell, 'Memento' was easier to follow than this celluloid disaster. Not even Shatner's throwaway rap scene at the end could save the stinker that is 'Free Enterprise.'  I was half-hoping he'd grab a microphone and repeat his famous "Get a life" skit from SNL, instead saying "Get a tub of cyanide and drink deeply."Shame, they took a good idea and drowned it in a bottomless pit of a screenplay.  I hope the kids that made 'Free Enterprise' grow up someday and make a real movie.  (I see they're making a sequel to this, 6 years later.  I guess they had nothing much else going on...)
