"'Meet the Spartans' manufactures dumb gags by the truckload, with most of them having nothing to do with the sort of movies it's making fun of."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  A. J. Hakari

1/5
"Meet the Spartans can't even get its fart jokes right. How incredibly sad is that?"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

F
"OK, I get it now: Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are agents of Satan himself, and their recruitment video is Meet the Spartans...a new low even for these diseased buffoons."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

0/4
"Meet the Spartans is a downtrodden cinematic vacuum—a sickening, derivative, shallow, condescending, utterly worthless piece of ...."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

F
"When the comedy revolution comes, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will be the first ones shot."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

0/5
"It's rare that a movie makes me ill these days, and it's rare that I can see a movie and hate the people behind it with such abhorrence, but "Meet the Spartans" rises to the challenge..."  Film Threat  Felix Vasquez Jr.

1.0/4.0
"What does it say about a film with an hour running time that has twenty minutes of outtakes after the credits to reach theatrical length? Very little that's positive."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

1/5
"You could teach a college course on what not to do in a comedy by showing Meet the Spartans."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/4
"The musical number that runs during the closing credits is funnier than anything that precedes it, which isn't saying much."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

F
"At the risk of praising with faint damning, Meet the Spartans isn't the worst film I've ever seen; however, I'm not suggesting that this feature-length parody of 300 is good in any way."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

0.5/5
"It aims to be a so-called spoof of 300 but only succeeds at being a commercial for idiocy."  Bronsonfive  Michael Ferraro

1/5
"It is so bad that when it introduces a running gag involving blurred upskirt shots, you can almost hear the actors just out of camera range trying to get them to move the blurs up high enough to hide their faces as well"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2/4
"Is its purported idiocy put to a worthwhile use, or is this just another stale retreat of MADtv?"  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

0.5/5
"Clocking in around 69 minutes total, Meet the Spartans is not a movie. All involved should feel slightly ashamed."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

0/5
"everybody should be ashamed"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

1/10
"Witlessly crude and vulgar - it's my first Worst Movies of 2008 contender."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

2/4
"While still not a grand work of art, Meet the Spartans improves upon the formula established in the earlier parodies of Friedberg and Seltzer."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
