Meet the Spartans is a movie appeared on 25 December 2008, produced by 20th Century Fox. It is a pure comedy.
The warriors of 300 might have been able to hold their own–at least for awhile–against an army of thousands, but can they defend themselves against this satire? From the minds behind EPIC MOVIE, MEET THE SPARTANS tackles everything from the action movie to YOU GOT SERVED to Britney Spears. You could teach a college course on what not to do in a comedy by showing Meet the Spartans.
The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing by leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13–count ‘em, 13!–Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton–no one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture).

I have to admit I found myself amused by the first few minutes of this crappy film as it did a pretty good job of parodying the original ‘300′ albeit in an almost scene by scene fashion. I liked the scene involving the ‘Pit Of Death’ up until Britney Spears made an appearance, I tittered slightly on seeing a cat’s turd stuck on the face of the sandman (that’s right, the sandman), and the fight scene where Leonidas gives a wedgey to one of the Persian soldiers was actually quite good.
Unfortunately the rest of this film was so uninspired, wayward and off the mark that you have to pity the poor fools who came up with this crud. They were obviously trying to parody and cross compare American trash culture with the rigid and principled code and glory of the Spartan people, but all they could manage to do is bitch about how the Spartans were probably a bunch of homosexuals. This film used the homosexual link to provide 95% of the humour in this spoof film but this was particularly surprising as I thought most Americans were either gay themselves or at least find nothing wrong with it…hence all their ass references…..The mind boggles!!
