Preview: Meet the Spartans (2008)

• Poster: C+

Review:

Taking obvious cues from the Scary Movie series of posters, this motley array of characters provides only a meager few smiles.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

The only funny thing in the trailer is the faux Britney Spears shaving her head. Otherwise, it's rather pathetic. The brand of humor herein is more akin to the Scary Movie franchise than the Airplane! series. Its early release date should suggest its lack of sustainable popularity.

Oscar Prospects:

Britney Spears has a better chance of getting her children back than this film does have earning an Oscar nomination.

Release Date:

• January 25, 2008

Full Review Synopsis:

While still not a grand work of art, Meet the Spartans improves upon the formula established in the earlier parodies of Friedberg and Seltzer.
