Lauren NeillPlease, do not see 'Meet the Spartans'.

So a new entry to the Epic Movie/Date Movie/Oh God Why Did I Pay To See This series of movies is being released. It's a 300 parody, because apparently 'THIS! IS! SPPPAARRTTTAAAA!' wasn't already funny. The trailer's been released on Rotten Tomatoes and....well, if I went into detail I'd wear out the 'f' key on my keyboard. They have a dance-off and someone makes reference to "getting served", and then...Britney Spears is.....shit, I can't go on. The point is, it's your duty to not watch this movie, because the only reason these guys are allowed to keep making their horrible, horrible movies is because they keep turning a profit.
If you really want a 300 parody....well, it's hard to think of a movie that would be easier to parody than this one. The scenes basically re-write themselves....
Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness!
Leonidas: Madness? THIS! IS! SPPPAAARRTTTTTTAAAAAAAA!!!!
Messenger:........
Leonidas:............
Messenger:.....alright, so I should....go back and tell Xerxes you refuse?
Leonidas: Yeah, that would be great, thanks.
Leonidas: Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell!
Spartan: And what if we win?
Leonidas:.....well I suppose we can go out for pizza or something. I don't know, I haven't really thought ahead that much.
Aside from my own admittedly poor attempts at comedy, we get fun stuff like this:
Really Long Link
And the literally hundreds of memes floating around. More and more these comedy movies seem to mistake imitation for parody, repeating events from movies exactly as they appeared originally in the vain hope this is somehow funny, even though all logic seems to dictate this wouldn't be the case.
Please, people. Spend your money on movies that deserve it. And don't just listen to me, do a little research before you watch your movie. Check Rotten Tomatoes, imdb, whatever else. Don't go in blind or think a movie 'looks like a laugh', because you might end up contributing to the profit of a movie that really, really deserves to fail, lest the entire movie industry suffer.

Even a reedit would make it funny.

Although, I couldn't help finding the britney spears part quite funny. But I have a hunch it's the only funny part of the whiole thing. I would really like to find out if that's true but I still think I should avoid giving these atrocities money.

Why would you come post here if you liked it? You obviously have no good taste in comedy what so ever. This movie was shit. SHIIIIIIIIIIIT. Deal with it. This is a movie review web site. If you don't want opinions go cry in a corner and don't post here.
The End
