If you part ways with $12 for a ticket to see this thing -- that's before parking and popcorn -- you're barking mad.

Reviews for Meet the Spartans
Obviously, it's rubbish.
03/20/08
You could teach a college course on what not to do in a comedy by showing Meet the Spartans.
01/25/08
Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the team behind Meet the Spartans, prove that ridiculing other movies is much easier than making your own.
01/25/08
Top CriticThe result in Meet the Spartans is less classic Mel Brooks than middling Best Week Ever.
01/30/08
Top CriticThis is supposed to be a spoof of '300.' But 'Meet the Spartans' isn't a satire of anything. It's just a bunch of body-function-based skits that randomly feature scenes from movies and television shows -- and not a single one of them is laugh-inducing
02/24/08
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.
01/28/08
Top CriticIt aims to be a so-called spoof of 300 but only succeeds at being a commercial for idiocy.
01/27/08
One of the most painfully bad comedies I've ever had to endure, and I've seen the collected works of Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen, Ice Cube AND Cedric the Entertainer
02/04/08
Meet the Spartans can't even get its fart jokes right. How incredibly sad is that?
02/04/08
It's so bad even Carmen Electra should be embarrassed.
01/28/08
Top CriticWitlessly crude and vulgar - it's my first Worst Movies of 2008 contender.
01/27/08
Messrs. Friedberg and Seltzer make their annual locust-like descent on theaters leaving a trail of ruthlessly murdered brain cells in their wake.
01/30/08
I'm moving to Europe.
01/29/08
Top CriticIs its purported idiocy put to a worthwhile use, or is this just another stale retreat of MADtv?
01/26/08
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.
01/26/08
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.
02/01/08
It's not very good at all, but I did manage to laugh at some moments of sudden pratfalls and comic violence, but the talkshow reference mentality has to go!
07/22/08
...couldn't get a laugh from a hyena.
02/05/08
Frequently pauses to shower someone with vomit, pus, urine or excrement. It should be called Meet the Bodily Fluids.
