Free Enterprise (film)
''Free Enterprise'' is a 1999 romantic comedy film starring Eric McCormack and Rafer Weigel, and featuring William Shatner, directed by Robert Meyer Burnett and written by Mark A. Altman and Burnett. Plot The film deals with the mid-life crises of its two main protagonists, Mark (Eric McCormack) and Robert ( Rafer Weigel), fictionalized versions of the film's director and producer/writer.

Shatner plays a campy caricature of himself as he works on a one-man musical version of ''Julius Caesar'' in hopes of finally being taken seriously as a dramatist and musical performer. Hip-hop artist "The Rated R", joined by Shatner, provides the concluding musical number "No Tears for Caesar", a pastiche of famous lines from the play set to a rap rhythm. The film's score ...
