Meet the Spartans (2008)

Member Rating:

From the creators of Scary Movie and Date Movie comes this tongue-in-cheek parody of the sword-and-sandal epics, dubbed Meet the Spartans. The 20th Century Fox production was written and directed by the filmmaking team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Sure, Leonidas may have nothing more than a cape and some leather underwear to protect him from the razor-sharp swords of his Persian enemies, but that won't stop the brave leader and his team of 13 warriors from defending their beloved homeland against a powerful invading force that includes the likes of a mutant Paris Hilton, the Transformers, the Ghost Rider, and Rocky Balboa. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

If you want something that's good, and very entertaining, then go look somewhere else. If you have nothing better to do, and wanna watch something and get a little chuckle out of it, then this is it. It's stupid, but funny.

This is an over-extended comedy sketch-ish parody of the film "300". What caught me off guard is how quickly it went stale. The writers probably thought the gladiator thing is SO GAY it would make a really funny movie. The problem is they relied too much on over-used gay jokes. And they threw in a very big pile of childish potty-humor that made the actors look like morons. It was very much hit-and-miss all the way. The funniest bits were big Ken Davitian playing Xerxes. He had some good lines and he dead-panned them like a real pro. He knew exactly how to play it. The rest, like I said, hit-and-miss all the way. This is too offensive for kids.
