So what if this was a sick and twisted parody. Some of the humor was just plain horrible, but that's what parody is. This film was directed and produced by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The covers tells us all to fight back tears of laughter watching this Unrated Pit-Of-Death Edition. This film touts now 300 times more outrageous then before. The film cracks fun at their rag-tag team of 13 Warriors to defend their homeland against the invading Persians, whose Ranks include impersonations of themes like Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, Britney Spears, and a completely messed up hunchbacked version of Paris Hilton! Meet the Spartans pokes total fun of a real movie in a totally disrespectful way. The main theme of the film seemed to be to poke fun of the men and their effeminate natures. The skipping into battle and men scantily clothed in nothing but leather underwear opens this subject up to total reinvention. Almost everything in film now for private home viewing on DVD (Unrated or otherwise) is going for political incorrectness, since our society is still hanging on to a small whiff of freedom left in or near the home (but not in the workplace). What else in the world would life be like if there wasn't anything funny or stupid to poke fun of. Of course, there is nothing fun about warring losers, so to poke fun at the Spartans seems the next best thing to do, since they eventually got defeated for being so brave. The first part of the film was the funniest with the initial parodies of the child rearing preferences of the Spartans. The American Idol thing was just a little off the deep end as well as the segments of Britney Spears. Carmen Electra was the main thing that held this film together. The dust buster segment with the Spiderman 3 spoof was just fantastic. I'm going to give this film a 4/5 for it's totally irreverent, sick parody of such a fine film as "300". I'll definitely have to catch this one again with someone who appreciates this type of humor again in the future.

This movie is okay, it is not great and it actually isn't very funny. It looks better in the commercials than it actually is. I bought it because I thought it would be much better but boy was I wrong from the 300 spoofs to american idol spoofs this one did not have me rolling down on the floor with laughter. If you are in the mood for one of these types of movies I would go to the scary movie franchise.
Well worth the money, funny movie, many laughs.
