Writers/producers/directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (DATE MOVIE, EPIC MOVIE) use the film 300 as the basis for this spoof film. Born to be the perfect Spartan, Leonidas (Sean Maguire, EASTENDERS) faces numerous trials en route to becoming a man, including a face-off with the penguin from HAPPY FEET. Once he has proven himself, Leonidas not only becomes king, but also marries the phenomenally attractive (and slightly loose) Margot (Carmen Electra, BAYWATCH). When Leonidas learns that Persia's King Xerxes (Ken Davitian, BORAT) plans to make Sparta his own, he has his captain (Kevin Sorbo, HERCULES) recruit Sparta's finest and prepare them for battle against invading Persian forces. Unfortunately, that amounts to only 13 half-naked men with painted-on abs who literally prance to their destination. To make matters worse, Spartan councilman Traitoro (Diedrich Bader) is, well, a traitor. Still, Leonidas and his men face their enemy in battle, riffing on STOMP THE YARD, GHOST RIDER, TRANSFORMERS, and numerous other films along the way, as well as the video game GRAND THEFT AUTO.
Freidberg and Seltzer poke fun at virtually every cultural phenomenon in the mid-to-late 2000s and pop culture personality, including Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton, DANCING WITH THE STARS, AMERICAN IDOL, and DEAL OR NO DEAL. Even UGLY BETTY makes an appearance. Be prepared for an abundance of gross-out humour, spurts of bodily fluids, some sexual innuendo, and multiple jokes about homosexuality.

Really Awful

A Customer from Paisley, 24th October, 2008

This is possibly the least funny 'comedy' I have ever watched. I never even slightly raised a smile once. I guess the lesson learned is that when a film of 1hour 25 minutes starts rolling the credits after 1hr and 8 minutes, then pads the credits out with scenes that were not even good enough for the main feature, the writers must have been desperate for ideas. I cannot believe anyone spent money to make this or that I was foolish enough to waste one of my rentals and over an hour of my life watching it!

don't meet the spartans, drive past

A Customer from Leamington Spa, 23rd October, 2008

I knew when i saw that ex- grange hill chap was in it i was going to be disappointed, but it was worse than that, too many 'cameos' from hopeless notlookalikes who had to be introduced because you could not tell who they were watch 300 instead
