I love these guys. The movie is great and always makes me laugh.

IT ‘S THE GOAT!

I wish them the best and I hope this show happens… or anything Free Enterprise happens.

Free Enterprise was a good watch onceor twice.

But a Prequel?!

How can you complicate a fan movie with no real plotline?

Boy, That was pretty bad..especially considering the GREAT stuff these two guys have done before…
