    Less classic Mel Brooks than middling "Best Week Ever."

    The best thing in Meet the Spartans is the swift kick in the bombast it delivers to the oh-no-not-us homoeroticism of "300."

    The musical number that runs during the closing credits funnier than anything that precedes it, which isn't saying much.

    Writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer basically reprise the tired formula from their earlier efforts, which is to throw in as many pop culture references as possible to cover up the lack of any real wit.

    Meet the Spartans is probably the worst movie I've seen but its kind of a guilty pleasure for me. If I want to laugh I just plop this in and have a good long laugh. Bad but funny movie… Expand

    Some very funny parts, some sketches do drag though.

    When I first saw this I thought it was pretty bad, but now that I've seen it a second time it actually isn't as bad as I first thought. Sure it's not winning any awards and some of the jokes just miss the target, but there is enough here to keep you entertained and have a good laugh, especially if you're in need of one. Sean Maguire is quite funny as Leonidas and the cast are overall quite funny. It's not the best spoof film out there, but not the worst either so it's worth a look for a laugh.… Expand

    I'm with Jim C... It's not that funny and the acting is terrible. Let's give it a 10!
