Summary: Music Video is the only thing worth it
Review: I once watched this movie on HBO and it was horrible. The only thing that I really enjoyed was the final scene which had William Shatner doing a rap/hip-hop version of Marc Antony's funeral speech from Ceaser. I enjoyed it so much I bought the soundtrack. My dislike is probablly because Im a generation behind all the characters. If you were in your late twenties in the early 90's you might relate to this film.

Summary: Not Funny, Not Funny at all.
Review: If you like Marvel Comics. If You like Star Trek. If you hate it when someone calls you a geek because you spend too much time in these and other fictional universes as shown in comics or on film. Then this movie really insults those fans of the genre. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's badly written and a mean sprited film that takes cheap shots at a hobby that many people like and take seriously.

Summary: Great fun for Trek lovers
Review: A great movie, full of laughs for people who love Star Trek and who don't take it so seriously that they can't laugh at themselves and the show. It's jam packed with references to the show and to sci-fi in general, so being a fan would seem to be helpful to appreciating 90% of the film. Shatner is hilarious simply taking his over-the-top personality a bit more over-the-top. This would make a good gift for a Trekker who has a sense of humor.

Summary: Pure Sci-Fi/Swingers Comic Genius
Review: This movie blew me away with how sharp and witty the dialogue was. Best of all, it was aimed towards people who enjoy sci-fi, home theaters, and going to toy stores despite being grown up. Admit it, you're either like these guys or you know someone like them. The movie bears a striking resemblance to Swingers, yet it's done in a different way, and the humor is a lot more raw. I wasn't expecting the humor to be so dirty at times, but it was definitely worth it for the surprise factor. The opening scene with The Brady Killer really appeals to film buffs, and seeing William Shatner in a comedy role is one of the best things about this movie. The roles get reversed..... instead of Shatner getting creeped out by his fans..... the fans get creeped out by Shatner. Just when you think the movie wouldn't go that far, it does. I rented the VHS version many times, and was thinking of getting the DVD, until I heard it wasn't anamorphic and the video quality isn't too good. It should have been done better, because this movie really deserves a stellar release. I'll watch this again and again.

Summary: LOVED it!
Review: A gem. Saw it by accident the first time. Simply amazing. Admittedly, it doesn't hurt if you are a total sci-fi geek. Shatner is over-the-top hilarious, actually playing himself. He shows no shame in revealing his total lack of luck with the ladies, as well as his fondest dreams of finally making it as a true musical talent. McCormack puts in a solid performance as the ever dependable, slightly boring sidekick afraid of growing old. Basically, a straight version of Will Truman from "Will and Grace," minus the endless questions regarding how is [back side]looks. Weigel actually comes off as a straight version of Will's sidekick Jack MacFarland, constantly out of a job and borrowing money. So I wouldn't say that we are covering new territory in the relationship between the two main characters. However, imagine throwing William Shatner into that mix and you can see the opportunities. Non-sci-fi types will not love this movie the way that those of us raised on "Logan's Run," and the merits of classic Star Trek versus Next Generation, will. But if you are in the know, there is SO much to enjoy. There is a definite romance subplot to this one, but not so terribly present as to make one want to call it a chick flick. It is a romance in the same way that "Swingers" or "High Fidelity" were. In the end, it's all about the guys and how they see their world. Give it a try. It will surprise you!

Summary: Some women get that Shatner thing....
Review: I loved this movie-- saw it on one of the cable channels and bought it just the other day because I must share it with my other Trek-obsessed nerd-buddies. Shatner plays himself with much humility-- making fun of your quirks is not something most Hollywood types seem very good at. We all know the legend of Shatner, all the feuds that supposedly take place backstage, the arrogance. We also know that the actors supposedly think Trek fans are crazily obsessed to know what episode and scene things happen in, and quiz the stars on why Kirk did this or that. We know all about the rivalry between Old Trek (classic) and New Trek (TNG etc). All of these details make the film a must-see for those of us obsessed enough to call ourselves Trek Fans and to hoot "Shatner is a GOD" even when we see him in those dopey Priceline commercials. But there is stuff in this film you'll love even if you're not a Trek-fan. Eric McCormack's performance is great-- if you only know him from Will & Grace, you'll find him both funny & jerk-y sometimes (his character is the arrogant, faux-intellectual type who actually says "I know people"! but who actually obsesses over getting older in a believable way, turning what could be a caricature of a sci fi fan into a real-seeming person). Even if you're not the type of person who has collectible merchandise lining a shelf in your house, you know someone who is, and will find the characters in this film entertaining... The movie is about Trek fans and how their lives progress (or fail to) after meeting an idol (who turns out to be a human being who steals pick up lines and sometimes fails with women)-- but it's also about friendship, and growing up, and the way movies can sometimes change your life.

Summary: i hate Star Trek but love this movie
Review: A friend dragged me to a sci-fi convention where the guests of honor were the guys who wrote this movie. i have never liked Star Trek, especially the William Shatner stuff, but i watched this movie anyway. The two biggest things i learned: First, this movie is not a sci-fi movie and has nothing to do with Star Trek. They really should have changed the title. Second, this movie is absolutely awesome. i love this movie! What's the movie about? It's semi-autobiographical in that the two stars are based on the writers, their friends are based on the writers' friends and the anecdotes are all true stories. The characters happen to be sci-fi fans, but that's not terribly important to the story. If you're into movies (sci-fi, horror, oldies, foreign flicks, etc.), you'll enjoy the references. If you hate sci-fi and old movies, you'll still love this movie because the sci-fi part is just background noise and easily ignored The stars are two guys living in LA who work in the movie industry. They date a lot, have sex a lot, get dumped a lot and spend the whole movie wishing they could meet Ms. Right (yes, this is a relationship movie). They've idolized William Shatner since they were kids and one day actually meet him, only to learn that a)he's insane and b)he's also having relationship problems The plot of the movie? It's all about relationships. They look at the relationships of almost every character in the movie, but the big ones are the relationship between the two best friends and between one of the friends and a girl he's met and lost If i had to compare it to anything, i'd say it's a lot like Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy, only with a really happy ending rather than Amy's depressing one. It's also a little like 20 Dates, another movie about a guy trying to figure out why his relationships never work i think this movie would have been a minor hit if it had been promoted more when it came out (i had never heard of it) and if they had dropped the silly name. Free Enterprise? i thought it was some kind of Trekkie movie, rather than the dialog-heavy, relationship-oriented, borderline-chick flick that it is

Summary: Shatner Can Be Enterprising!
Review: William Shatner. The names conjurs up many things. Captain Kirk, over acting....books, TV and recently a lot of roles in major motion pictures. (Miss Conginiality, Showtime.) This movie is a little different. He is in it but instead of a playing a real or fictional character he is playing himself. I must say he does a brilliant job of it too! With all the imitations done of him - nobody can do Shatner like Shatner. The best part is that Bill doesn't take himself too seriously and it looks like it. As a result of this - he is having fun. In turn, the audience has fun. (He even sings again! Yikes! Raps even! Double Yikes!) The writers and directors had orginal written this piece and a reverance to William "Captain James T. Kirk "Shatner, but when Shatner read it..he insisted that it be made to show his flaws and failures. That's where it works best. It shows Shatner can be scared, shy, greedy and even horny! The supporting roles are well cast and the two main leads are great together. The chemistry is real. I think everyone had fun on this one. The DVD extras include behind the scenes interviews, outtakes and the story behind getting this project done. The real cool thing for me was that it was shot in a book store very close to where I live. Fun! I think the non Star Trek fan will enjoys this - but the real Star Trek fans will love all the science fiction references and dream sequences. It was cleverly done!
