Product Description: History has never been so... hysterical!

Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - Meet the Sparse Humorous Movie!
Remember when the only "spoofs" & "parodies" could only be found in the pages of MAD Magazine, Mel Brooks' Movies, and the Zucker Bros Movies? It seems to be all common place these days. That's not a bad thing, but when it's done wrong, it hurts the genre. MEET THE SPARTANS is definitely in the category of a spoof gone wrong. This reviewer didn't laugh once during the course of the film and it was very painful to watch. Even the obligatory cameo of Carmen Electra couldn't hold this reviewer's ... Read More
Rating: - meet the spartans
a waste of money... retarded movie... wait for free cable or better yet bypass then also
Rating: - Don't bother....
I am usually quite understanding of the "stupid movie" concept and have enjoyed many of them. Many of the Sandler movies fit this concept. And I have also watched several of these parody movies as well. However, I have never been as bored watching one as I was with this one. If it weren't for Carmen, I'd been totally bored. I really can't believe that Sorbo was in this one.
It does have some "entertaining" moments, but they are far and few between.
If you just don't ... Read More
Rating: - What a piece of crap!!!!
In my 40 something years on this earth, and being a big fan and viewer of hundreds of comedies over the years, I honestly have to say this movie really, really sucks the big one!!! I did not even once come close to grinning at any point of this waste of film. I could not believe the level of crappiness this movie sunk to. The makers of this film, the actors, and whomever played a part in this movies production should be embarassed of themselves. Not even the slightest bit creative or funny in any way! ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding Politically Incorrect Comedy
This movie takes no prisoners and leaves no one and no steriotype un-insulted. The inside jokes might get past some viewers, but they're there and hilarious!
