rating: 1 QuoteThe worst movie ever, if you can even call it a "movie"Quote
Not only does this movie suck completely, it doesn't abide by the rules of how to make a good spoof at all. There was ONE scene where I laughed, and that was the "Ugly Betty" scene. Epic Movie was very poorly made, yet it had a few laugh-out-loud moments. Did I enjoy Date Movie at all? No. Neither did I enjoy this.

These are the rules of making a good spoof:

1. Be timely. A joke about Ellen in Mr. Wrong??????????

2. If trying to be offensive, be funny too. An accident-prone protagonist in Superhero Movie was funny, assaulting a Spartan kid with many heavyweight objects is not.

3. Widen your humor sources when cracking the odd joke. Go everywhere, don't stay on the same topic just with different words.

4. Be subtle when making a spoof. Not everything has to be uncalled for.

5. Don't go outside the genre you're spoofing. American Idol? Shrek? Casino Royale? Really??????

And lastly...

6. DON'T EXPLAIN EVERY SINGLE SOURCE MATERIAL AND RIFF. If you have to explain everything (Scary Movie 4 was brilliant because it only did this once), chances are it's not funny.

MTS doesn't do any of this, it just does the exact opposite. There's no plot (or so to speak), it's too unfunny to be a comedy, too spoofy to be a spoof, and overall, too unsubtle to be a comedy in the first place. July 24, 2008

I love spoofs, and when I saw that there was going to be a spoof to 300, I automatically knew I had to see it! I loved it! It's extremely funny! The dancing dragged on for a little bit, but other than that, it's awesome! You need to have a good sense of humor, and not take it too seriously in order to enjoy it, so if you gave a great sense of humor like I do, you'll love MEET THE SPARTANS!!!


p.s. I can't wait for DISASTER MOVIE!!! July 12, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteVery funny & goofy comedy!Quote
My family really enjoyed "Meet the Spartans"! It had a lot of laughs, and the scenes where Sean Maguire and Kevin Sorbo lead the Spartans out skipping and singing "I Will Survive", the dance contest, and Grand Theft Auto" parody were hysterical! "Meet the Spartans" is worth watching twice too. ps: there are some funny scenes in the middle of the end credits too - worth watching!
