I cannot believe this movie took the number one spot! Epic Movie and Date Movie were two of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life and this is made by the same people. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are the Uwe Boll of the spoof making genre. I sat in horror watching Date Movie at a friend's house,growing more and more embarrassed from actually being there watching the movie. I only caught Epic Movie on HBO by accident,but after five minutes I realized what it was and nearly broke my are changing the channel.

These movies are far from funny. All they do is steal bits and pieces from other movies and butcher them to death. Hell,most of the bits they use have absolutely nothing to do with the genre they're spoofing. Airplane,Top Secret,Naked gun(the first one) and Hot Shots were funny spoof movies. These movies are garbage. I will never watch Meet The Spartans. The trailer alone made me want to kick an elderly man in the ass. As long as there are plenty of idiots who find this shit funny,they will keep churning them out. This is another sad week in movie history.
 
I couldn't agree more, especially with that Uwe Boll line. The reason movies like Airplane and Naked Gun are funny is because they're actually parodying a particular movie or series of films but at the same time create their own unique characters and plot, thus withstanding the test of time; movies like that are still funny today and they will remain funny for years to come. Meet the Spartans is "parodying" 300, but most of the references are about pop culture and celebrities, which it appears America is obsessed with nowadays.

Films like Meet the Spartans, Date Movie, and Epic Movie seem like some 11 year old's attempt at cinematography. These movies won't be funny in 5 years because nobody's even going to remember the scenes they're "parodying" in the first place. Most of the jokes aren't even jokes per se. They take a scene from a movie or TV show and then have a look-a-like impersonate the exact same scene exactly how it was performed originally. OK? Yeah, I "get it", but what's there to get? I remember when Britney Spears shaved her head, and I know Donald Trump says "You're Fired" all the time...but those things certainly weren't funny enough to make me laugh when I see the exact same thing reenacted in a movie. "Oh jeez, he says 'You're Fired' on the show, and now some guy is making fun of him in a movie! Ahahaha!"

The only funny thing about this movie is that it got #1 at the box office. I guess a lot of teenyboppers got out to the theaters this weekend or something.
 
It has been said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. If that is true, then parody must surely be the lowest form of satire.

damn I like sarcasm well I do have bad taste
 
I'm appalled to be apart of the generation that makes this the #1 movie. I'll be honest, every time I hear one of my friends/classmates tell me that they're going to see this it makes me loose a lot of respect for them. Sad. I wish this trend of parody movies would die already.
 
^ I had a crush on this one girl till she laughed at a commercial/trailer for that movie.

After that, boner lost. No more interest in her.
 
Looks like it has its funny moments from the trailers.....such as kicking britney spears into the pit of death. May have to rent this one when it comes out on DVD.
 
Oh come on people, seeing Britney get kicked into the bottomless pit is worth the price of admission!
 
I agree. This most looks incredibly terrible and lame and I can't believe it makes this much money. But that's how these guys do it. Turn out some stupid flick for a few million bucks and then it spends one great opening weekend making the money and then it fades in to nothingness. The rest of the population won't deal with it and the idiots that enjoy it saw it opening weekend. This movie...like all the others look like pure puke trash.

Britney+worth the price of admission don't belong in the same paragraph.

Oh, I dunno about that.... (laughs creepily and starts humming "Hit Me Baby One More Time").

How could I forget about Spaceballs? Classic. Classic!

Colonel Sandurz: Sir, do you think we're being too literal?
Dark Helmet: We were told to comb the desert so we're combing it.
[to two white henchmen with a giant comb]
Dark Helmet: Found anything yet?
Henchmen: Nothing sir!
[to two more white henchmen with a giant comb]
Dark Helmet: How bout you?
Henchmen: Not a thing sir!
[to two black henchmen with a giant pick]
Dark Helmet: What about you guys?
Henchmen: Man, we ain't found shit!
