Review of Free Enterprise (1998) by Jim R — 08 Jul 2009

This is a very cute film, especially for those of us who grew up with the Star Trek franchise, Star Wars, and all of the other sci-fi film genres!

I enjoyed the realistic bent of having William Shatner play himself as himself. Shatner gets wacked in the mouth for his clumsy attempt at an opening line with a pretty lady. Our heroes eventually learn that they cannot go through life quoting sci-fi movie lines, at least not successfully. They also learn that dreams are great, but one also has to show up for work and pay the bills if one wants the woman of one's dreams to stick around.

The film got a bit slow in the middle for my tastes, but made up for it at the end.
