"300", about 300 Caucasian Spartans slaughtering a few million gibbering brown people was one of the worst films I have ever seen, and not only politically. Even visually it was dire. And "Meet the Spartans" is nominally a comedy-spoof of that already ridiculous film... though along the way it sucks other movies into its less-than-mediocre comedy web, including a scene inspired by "Casino Royal". That the dominant force in the film"s parody of "300" was its puerile gay jokes is not a good sign. Ignoring the glaringly neo-fascist and racist elements of "300", "Meet the Spartans" only adds to how politically vile that film was, with a splash of popularly and socially acceptable homophobia. Nice. It is actually hard to write about this (comedy) film it is so bad, unfunny and utterly pointless. Needless to say, I wouldn"t recommend anyone watch it, even, especially if I thought they would enjoy it (though I am not sure such a person exists).
