![]() ![]() ![]() Formerly up-and-coming British actor Maguire (England’s EastEnders) must’ve thought a lead role no matter how bad the movie would beget bigger jobs in the near future. But really Spartans is all about the atrociously unfunny parodies that litter its not-brief-enough 80 minutes: Transformers Stomp the Yard Happy Feet American Idol Dancing with the Stars Ugly Betty Anna Nicole Britney Paris homosexuality bodily functions–they’re all spoofed here! A truly groundbreaking concept indeed. ![]() It all starts in ancient Sparta where a young Leonidas ( Sean Maguire) is groomed to defeat the evil Xerxes ( Ken Davitian “the fat guy from Borat ” which is essentially how the movie introduces him) and the invading Persians (led by Method Man). Rather this movie is a lame-ass excuse to randomly throw jabs at pop culture and in extreme emergencies “advance” the “plot”–which only really makes fun of 300’s subtexts not its story. To say that Meet the Spartans is a spoof of 300 is to suggest that there is some semblance of a storyline mocking that the 2007 blockbuster epic I refuse to give it that much credit.
