Free Enterprise (1998 Robert Meyer Burnett)

Amusing indie film has a BBT vibe, about two overgrown kids who still buy comics and toys and won't face up to life. Many film and TV references abound. Then they meet William Shatner, and are disillusioned to find out he's nothing like their hero Captain Kirk, and is on his own nuts odyssey to make a musical version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar!

Eric McCormack (from Will and Grace) and Rafer Weigel (now a journalist and TV presenter) are the friends, whose characters are based on the director and writer Mark Altman.

Hilarious credits include one for 'The artist formerly known as Shatner' and the 'Thanks to' includes one for 'SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation)'!

I was quite pleased with myself for getting Charade from a couple of seconds of audio.


Whichever one of them did the Shatner impression (can't remember now) was funny.
