With Meet the Spartans, the creators of Date Movie lampoon penguins, Paris Hilton, American Idol, Britney Spears, Dancing with the Stars, Stomp the Yard, Brangelina, Lindsay Lohan, product placement, Sylvester Stallone, Transformers, and pretty much every other obvious target that's emerged since they made their last flick, Epic Movie. The main subject of mockery is 300, the visual-effects laden Greek warrior movie, the relentless homoeroticism of which is not-so-subtly pointed out with a mixture of scatology, phallic humor, painted-on six-pack abs, disco songs, blows to the groin, and spitting--lots and lots and lots of spitting. There's nothing remotely clever about Meet the Spartans, and even fans of pop-culture cuisinarts like Scary Movie may feel the genre is losing its oomph, but if you're looking for a shotgun blast of lowbrow gags, this is it. Along for the ride are Sean Maguire (The Class), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), Ken Davitian (Borat), Diedrich Bader (Napoleon Dynamite), and Carmen Electra, without whom no movie of this kind would be complete. The only person who emerges with any credibility is comedienne Nicole Parker (Mad TV), who does a pretty spot-on impression of Ellen DeGeneres. --Bret Fetzer

An Awesome Parody!!!
I love spoofs, and when I saw that there was going to be a spoof to 300, I automatically knew I had to see it! I loved it! It's extremely funny! The dancing dragged on for a little bit, but other than that, it's awesome! You need to have a good sense of humor, and not take it too seriously in order to enjoy it, so if you gave a great sense of humor like I do, you'll love MEET THE SPARTANS!!!


p.s. I can't wait for DISASTER MOVIE!!!

Very funny & goofy comedy!
My family really enjoyed "Meet the Spartans"! It had a lot of laughs, and the scenes where Sean Maguire and Kevin Sorbo lead the Spartans out skipping and singing "I Will Survive", the dance contest, and Grand Theft Auto" parody were hysterical! "Meet the Spartans" is worth watching twice too. ps: there are some funny scenes in the middle of the end credits too - worth watching!

ugh
While I sometimes enjoy spoofs of other movies. This one sucked big time. Save your money
