Leave your thoughts about Free Enterprise.
| BBC.comAlmar HaflidasonA witty comedy that glows with self-deprecating humour. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe highly-charged comic engine for the entire vehicle is none other than William Shatner. |
| Apollo GuideCheryl DeWolfeThink of Free Enterprise as something along the lines of, When Harry Met Lieutenant Uhura. |
| Village VoiceGary DauphinA white-trash riff on Little Red Riding Hood, the oddly titled Freeway is a road movie that hits a dead end. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliUsing black humor, blood, and a pair of tremendous performances, Freeway hones in on its targets and calculatedly skewers them one-by-one…This movie is both grimly funny and thought-provoking. |

| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasDanny Elfman's intense score contributes crucial energy, John Thomas' camera work is first-rate, but the ambitious Freeway ends up merely trashy. |
