Meet the Spartans (2008)
Details Release Date: Jan 25, 2008; Rated: PG-13; Length: 83 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Carmen Electra, Sean Maguire and Kevin Sorbo
This spoof of 300 takes aim at the homoerotic vibe exuded by the ancient-Greece epic while anachronistically lampooning Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and a raft of other pop culture notables. Sean Maguire and Carmen Electra hand in game performances, but script-wise, the result in Meet the Spartans is less classic Mel Brooks than middling Best Week Ever. And despite the film's swift production, some of the jokes seem dated. In particular, younger cinemagoers may need to have explained to them who this ''Sanjaya'' character was. C+
