A fun spoof w/ some unqiue features
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
If you enjoy a good parody (i.e. spoof comedy) and can stomach all the usual crude and bathroom-type humor we have come to expect from these types of films, you will love this movie.
Following in the footsteps of other more recent spoofs (Scary Movie series, Epic Movie...) Meet the Spartans pokes fun of previously released movies, in this case action films- mainly the movie 300 (although the fight scenes are a little more remniscent of Monty Python!). However, one thing that sets this movie apart from some of the others is that it also pokes fun of reality TV shows (including American Idol & America's Top Model) and several recent celebrity meltdowns, including the Tom Cruise scientology incident (on Oprah) & the ongoing the Britney Spears saga. So even if you havn't seen all of the action films you are still going to be able to get the jokes. And of course, Carmen Electra, who has become a staple in these types of films, holds a leading role this time. Which reminds me of one other thing that is different about this movie- there is a lot of sexual humor (i.e. Carmen Electra- what do you expect?) and also violence against children- which I thought was a bit over the line :(
In this film King Leonidas (played by Sean Maguire) leads a group of 13 Spartan warriors into battle against the massive Persian army (that includes Ghost Rider and the Transformers) who are threatening to invade and dominate Sparta. While he is on crusade, the Queen (Electra) attempts to gain the people's support for the war by whatever means necessary.
