Leave it to them to make it happen.NEW YORK - The latest misbegotten parody from the creators of “Date Movie” and “Epic Movie” brings to mind the joke about two elderly women exiting a restaurant.
WHERE CAN I WATCH MEET THE SPARTANS NO POP UPS MOVIE
After the witless and humorless disaster that was Epic Movie I couldn’t conceive how Friedberg and Seltzer could have done worse. I suspect there will be hours of material on the DVD that didn’t make it into the final cut not because the movie couldn’t have been longer, but because it was just too stupid (or offensive) to be included. Alas, the opportunity never came.Īt 84 minutes the movie feels short (not that I’m complaining by any means). It made me chuckle, a good feeling that left me wanting to chuckle some more. Kevin Sorbo (whose presence would have been brilliant if someone competent had been writing/directing) launches into one such slow-motion action sequence where, upon using up the spears on hand, proceeds to turn to other handy weapons including a wet towel which gets the same elegant dance-like treatment as a sword. All those over-stylized fight scenes in 300 were ripe for a good parody and one finally happens near the end of the film. Normally it would have been the least I would have expected from a good spoof movie, but in their case I have to take what I can get. I have to give Friedberg and Seltzer props for one single moment of comic lucidity. Are things really this bad for him right now? Did he really need this paycheck to stay afloat? Diedrich Bader plays his role with a subtle reluctance that suggests he might have signed the contract before reading the script and then regretted it later. Carmen Elektra’s performance pretty much sends the solid message “hey, I can’t act to save my life, but if you need someone with big breasts and isn’t ashamed to be hired on that quality alone, I’m your gal”.

In the midst of all of this comes a cast that you can’t help but pity. Normally I abhor people talking out loud during a show, but in this case I was grateful. There wasn’t a hearty laugh to be heard through the entire show and, at one point, one of them actually proclaimed in a loud voice “this is stupid”. These two teenagers, like myself, spent most of movie yawning or occasionally snickering when the actors managed to do something almost funny. I can only assume they are the target audience for the movie since it pushes as far as it can without crossing out of PG-13 territory and banks itself on jokes involving childish homo-eroticism and the word “boobies”. How bad is it? At the theater I had the honor of sitting behind two young teenage guys. By seeing all forty-five seconds of slightly amusing material in the trailer, audiences assume the rest of the movie must be pretty funny too, thereby being lured into spending ten dollars on the cinematic equivalent of an enema.

Or, maybe it’s just the result of brilliant marketing. Obviously someone out there loves their spoof projects (of which there are four: Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie and now Meet The Spartans) because they make good money at the box office.
