Review:
A spoof of a spoof. National Lampoon's version of Meet The Spartans, although it's not JUST a spoof of 300, NO NO it is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. It's a spoof of all Roman/Gladiator esq movies. I will admit that I saw this movie for two reasons. 1: Because I have a childhood love of Will Sasso & B: Because I knew that the Sklar Brothers had minor role in it which is a major selling point to me (See: Wild Hogs). Basically all I can say is, don't base what movies you want to watch on something on who is in the film if they were something you loved from your childhood. Just like every other spoof movie. Stupid character names, usually a play on what they are. This one feature "Testiclees" instead of "Achiles" & Princess Ellen instead of Helen. I think the only name part I enjoyed was having the Prince Of Troy called "Orlando" & they made him super gay (implying that Orlando Bloom is a secret gay) & as you may have known, I dislike Orlando Bloom. Plot was just a combination of 300, Troy, Gladiator & a little bit of every other movie in the genre
thrown in. Think about it, it's a spoof movie. If you like them you like them, if you hate them you hate them! Cameos by Russell Peters, Both Sklar Brothers & Mr. Belding himself, Dennis Haskins.
