Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Less classic Mel Brooks than middling "Best Week Ever."
|
|
Boston Globe -
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."
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
The musical number that runs during the closing credits funnier than anything that precedes it, which isn't saying much.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer basically reprise the tired formula from their earlier efforts, which is to throw in as many pop culture references as possible to cover up the lack of any real wit.

The New York Times -
Overkill is what Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer do best: as the uncontested titans of the parody genre (with fingers in everything from the “Scary Movie” franchise to the more recent “Epic Movie”) they continue to prove that ridiculing other movies is much easier than making your own.
