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 Army of 3 Strong October 2, 2008
This is obviously a take on Frank Millers movie 300.
Well it has some great moments, but falls off a little here and there where there aren't any laughs.
Still enjoyable though.

You may think the 1 star rating is for the movie. No! The movie gets no stars. The 1 star is for the people who gave it 5 stars.
Dont waste the time. September 18, 2008
One word to describe this movie DUMB. Nothing about it was funny. Has been actors who wont let it go and some who cant even act.
 funny enough for these types of movies September 18, 2008
I saw 300 and saw this movie. I did not like 300 , but I really enjoyed watching "Meet the Spartans". I thought it was funny and its a movie I can watch several times. I liked the actors and everything. I especially liked the "yo mamma" part what ever you call it and the american idol part. Leonidas character was fun to watch, its funny how he talks. While I enjoyed this movie, I don't like Scary Movie, the epic movie, or the Superhero movie. This one was stupid as well but funny.
Great Parody, Cast Commentary one of the best September 14, 2008
Would give this a 3.5, but can't due that with the little star rating, so I rounded up and gave it a 4.
This was lot funnier than expected given the reviews I had seen. Great job by the cast not taking themselves too seriously. Definitely worth the rent. I watched this in Blu-Ray.
The commentary by the cast is actually pretty funny, also. This commentary is one that actually matters to the viewer as it's not the director or some 3rd string actor giving the commentary. Sean Macguire, Kevin Sorbo, Nicole Parker (recurring character roles) all do a great in keeping this DVD part fun too.
