The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

No doubt about it, this movie is hilarious fun. William Shatner's capacity to make fun of himself something I can't help but appreciate.While it has a lot going for it, it should be noted that at many moments it shows itself as clearly a dude flick. There are many "romantic" guy-girl scenes where the guy's line is something you can just imagine a real-life guy wishing he had said but not having the balls to. This is interesting in that viewers get a glimpse some male fantasies: it's like seeing what guys might think but never say to women. These never-uttered-by-a-real-life-male lines are inevitable followed by scene cuts, so the fantasy female that he is speaking to is conveniently not seen responding. Whatever her response might be, it's definitely not part of the male fantasy being played out here. One example of many: one of the heroes, who dates his ex-girlfriend for sex, is out to dinner listening to her droning complaints about her life and finally loses his patience. He bursts out with something like, shut up, stop your whining and let's just go to your apartment have sex. Scene cut.The other examples are similar. See if you can spot them.

A movie for Trekkers, made by Trekkers, about Trekkers, etc. Trekkers (oh, not 'Trekkies'-savvy?) are "Star Trek" fans, usually very obsessed fans. However, the 2 main characters here, despite fitting the standard Trekker profile of letting Trek dominate their lives, are well-rounded in other aspects: one of 'em, despite never having any money and a loser sensibility, is pretty successful with girls & doesn't have problems 'getting some.' The other is successful career-wise, with normal interests, as well. The filmmakers obviously wanted to show Trekkers as more than just weird geeks. However, something doesn't jibe with this presentation: the 2 guys come across as SO normal, it's hard to believe they've got every Trek episode memorized. That being said, this flic is a Trekker dream, filled with pop cultural references (for other Sci-Fi famous flics,too) and in-jokes that will probably baffle those not informed about Trek sayings & terminology (one scene is even filmed at a famous site from one of the classic episodes, but this was already done in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey"/1991). In the plot, the 2 guys, who both work in the film industry in L.A., happen to spot their idol, William Shatner, in a bookstore (Shatner, who portrayed Capt.Kirk in the classic Trek series and movies, is played by ...William Shatner). He doesn't live up to their expectations of a hero, even coming across as a bit of a loon, setting the stage for the re-evaluation of their lives. In all, the movie comes across as a bit silly and even pointless, with non-too-subtle moralizing about what's important in life, and apparent low-budget origins. But even non-Trekkers should find it mildly amusing. The DVD even has explanations of all the arcane Trek references, including optional subtitles. I'm still not sure what the title means (The Enterprise, of course, was the spaceship, er, starship in Trek, but so what?).

Every time I ask someone if they've seen this movie, they say : ''Ah, it's a Star Trek/Shatner thing!'' But it's not! This movie is very good. It's the story of guys in their late 20's coming into their adulthood. Dealing with every day normal (or geeky normal) experiences we all go through. From a threesome (!?) to having no electricity because you have overdue payments, to finding the woman of your life and loosing her. Shatner is the added bonus to this wonderful flick. After is inflated-ego trip, he now learns to laugh at himself and makes us laugh in the process. This movie reconciled me with ''Bill''. An unforgettable performance by Will & Grace's Eric McCormak of a William Shatner's speech from Star Trek (or a mixed interpretation of one!) Top 10 on my list! Go see it now...

I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to anyone in the mood for a funny/stupid movie. William Shatner was great as himself, a larger than life past middle aged self styled poet. He is truly the "Captain" for the common man.There is not very much substance to the movie but I really enjoyed the wierdness and nerdiness of it. It is a good laugh but nothing to take very seriously, except of course for Bill's one man performance of Ceasar, which I thought was just about as much Bill as any one can handle :-)
