Absolutely excruciating to watch. The only laugable part of the movie was the man boobs joke. You must be mentally retarded to laugh at this so called comedy. They ate up pop culture and puked it back up and made a movie.
David K gave it a0:
Awfull it was about as funny as the plague. Crap actors crap actresses and crap writers. Be ashamed at this poor work. Nobody above 15 would give this anymore than a 1.

I didn't watch all of it, because I actually have some remnants of a life. But what I did watch made the "THIS IS SPARTA!" joke lose all funniness, made me uncomfortable around my parents and made me want to cry as my slowly liquefying brain drooled from my ear. I'd say this is typical American humour, all gay jokes and pop culture references, even American humour has a one up on this garbage. I'm surprised these people can't take a hint.

I had promised myself after seeing the trailers that i would not watch this movie...ever. Well, one rainy boring afternoon I caved and decided to download it and let me say I am glad no one got my money for this movie. When people go and see movies like Meet the Spartans and Date Movie etc. they are telling hollywood that they approve of it's bottom barrel swill being poured out every 4-5 months when they need to make a quick buck. The pop-culture references are well overdone, almost all the jokes drag on and all of them are unfunny. The fact that this has received reviews of 10 by people who honestly believe this is how a good parody movie is made, just shows me how MTV has dumb down this generation.

Some very funny parts, some sketches do drag though.
Diego L. gave it a0:
Terrible. It's not funny, rude and disgusting. Watch "300", the original, and enjoy it. This is ofensive.
Roger P gave it a0:
I haven't seen this movie yet. you've all spoiled it for me. the rating of 0 is for all you spoil sports. can't you at least wait for everyone to see the movie before you start trashing it? I'm very disappointed and i don't mind telling you.
