Obviously, it's rubbish.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 20, 2008

To devote an entire feature film to making fun of another film's universally acknowledged gay subtext seems to me good cause for said filmmakers to have a sit-down with their muse, because somebody's been sleeping on the job.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 1, 2008

The result in Meet the Spartans is less classic Mel Brooks than middling Best Week Ever.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 30, 2008

This was the worst movie I've ever seen, so bad that I hesitate to label it a 'movie' and thus reflect shame upon the entire medium of film.

It's so bad even Carmen Electra should be embarrassed.

| Original Score: F | Jan 28, 2008

It's a MADtv or Saturday Night Live sketch dressed up in feature-length clothing. It's way too much of an OK thing. And the way-too-much-ness goes on and on.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 28, 2008

Is its purported idiocy put to a worthwhile use, or is this just another stale retreat of MADtv?

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 26, 2008

While there's enough comedic material there for as many as three somewhat tolerable minutes of MADtv, Meet The Spartans gamely alternates between unfunny gay jokes and violent pratfalls for a good 80 minutes.

| Original Score: F | Jan 26, 2008

Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the team behind Meet the Spartans, prove that ridiculing other movies is much easier than making your own.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 25, 2008

Lazy, lame and painfully unfunny.

What's the point of making a parody that's dumber than the stuff it parodies?

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jan 25, 2008

Writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer basically reprise the tired formula from their earlier efforts, which is to throw in as many pop culture references as possible to cover up the lack of any real wit.

Full Review | Jan 25, 2008

Until the mainstream produces some films undeserving of idiot violation, the idiot violation represented by Meet the Spartans -- a Xerox of absolute zero -- will be par for the course.
