Critic Reviews

Clark Collis

Less classic Mel Brooks than middling "Best Week Ever." Read full review

Mark Feeney

The best thing in Meet the Spartans is the swift kick in the bombast it delivers to the oh-no-not-us homoeroticism of "300." Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The musical number that runs during the closing credits funnier than anything that precedes it, which isn't saying much. Read full review

Luke Y. Thompson

Meet the Spartans is a mild improvement over their "Epic Movie," which is like saying that a debilitating fever is more fun than appendicitis, but what’s shocking is how lazy it is, which is a shame for former UK child star/pop singer Sean Maguire, whose Gerard Butler impersonation is spot-on.

Joe Leydon

Lazy, lame and painfully unfunny, Meet the Spartans is yet another scrambled-genre parody. Read full review

Felix Vasques Jr.

It’s rare that a movie makes me ill these days, and it’s rare that I can see a movie and hate the people behind it with such abhorrence, but Meet the Spartans rises to the challenge. Read full review

Steven Hyden

Meet The Spartans gamely alternates between unfunny gay jokes and violent pratfalls for a good 80 minutes, finding time for not one, but two musical dance numbers set to "I Will Survive." Read full review

is one of the funniest movies i ever seen. The problem here is that ther are many 300 lovers and they think that the movie 300 is the best, but it sucks to me. So this parody is so comic. Is just a comedy movie and if it makes you laugh it reaches its goal. In conclusion is a good movie.

This is an immense film. i was laughing the whole way through. All the people who don't like it either don't have a sense of humor or are over 30. A must see for people wanting a good laugh.

Horrible acting, just another stupid movie. But the funny parts really made me laugh. Don't come in expecting Scary Movie, but don't expect Disaster movie. Expect one right in between.

This is the worst film in the history of time. In fact, calling it a 'film' is more praise than it deserves. It is simply a mess, without a single redeeming feature. The only people who would enjoy this are either drunk, stoned or severely brain-damaged. I thought the Scary Movies This is the worst film in the history of time.

I thought the Scary Movies were good for a laugh, but it is really obvious now that Friedberg and Setzer are utterly devoid of talent and were simply relying on the Wayans Brothers to cover for them.… Expand

There aren't any jokes, just endless pop culture references! It's not funny just because you say it! There has to be humour involved!
