Meet the Spartans Recent Fan Reviews

  • No

    Funny, Crude, Tasteless.

    Listen. If you've seen Date Movie, Scary Movie (1-4), or even Epic Movie (which was clearly the worst of them all), then you know the kind of humor you're going to see. The movie was almost clever, with few pop culture references throw in randomly for laughs. The storyline is thin, to say the least.

    Don't bring ANYONE under the age of 14. There are MANY sexual themes. (I only say 14, because that was the age I was probably "ready" to see this kind of stuff.)

    Go see a matinee, too. Don't waste your money.

  • Oh No!

    meet the worst movie ever..

    this movie i was expecting to be like scary movie ... with a plot.
    oh no it had no plot and all the funny parts you already saw in the previews.
    was seriously a waste of time and money.

  • Must Go!

    300 Laughs

    This movie spoofs everything from 300 to Transformers, to specific performers such as Brittany Spears. It was funny without being heavy handed and there was some in jokes you might only get if you know a little about the Spartan's history. I would recommend it highly!
