Okay, I’ll admit to being a sucker for parody films. I loved “300” and I’m excited to check out this new unrated release of “Meet the Spartans” due out June 3rd. “Meet the Spartans” was written by the same guys who wrote “Date Movie” and “Epic Movie”. I liked both of those odd balls. Don’t get all “Academy Award” on me, acting as if you haven’t watched every singe Parody film that’s come your way since “Airplane”. I know you! You read my website! That alone is dead give away, so read on.

In Meet the Spartans, the heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13—count ’em, 13!—warriors to defend their homeland against the invading Persians, whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton. You won’t find a funnier Greek war film even if you live to see 300!

Check out the press release:
Century City, CA – History has never been so hysterical! After skewering some of Hollywood’s scariest movies, romantic comedies, top-grossing blockbusters and pop-culture icons, the innovative writing and directing team behind the comedy hits Date Movie and Epic Movie take on the ancient Greeks when Meet The Spartans fights its way onto Unrated DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) June 3rd from Fox Home Entertainment. Delivering 300-times the gut-busting laughs and crass humor, Meet The Spartans follows the journey of Leonidas, the King of Sparta. When his kingdom is challenged by the powerful Xerxes, Leonidas must recruit some of his strongest soldiers; which unfortunately leaves him with 13 (not 300) of the not-so-finest. Armed with nothing but leather underwear and a flowing red cape, Leonidas leads his ragtag army to defend their homeland, delivering outrageous send-ups of motion picture heavyweights including Ghost Rider, Transformers, Spider-Man 3 and Casino Royale, as well as leaving no stone unturned by tackling such pop culture television staples as “American Idol,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Ugly Betty” and “Deal or No Deal.” With laugh-out-loud performances from an all-star cast, Meet The Spartans features voluptuous spoof movie veteran Carmen Electra (Scary Movie 4), Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Diedrich Bader (“The Drew Carey Show”), Ken Davitian (Borat), Sean Maguire (“The Class”) and Method Man (“The Wire”). Meet The Spartans will be available in the Unrated “Pit of Death” Edition featuring outrageous footage not seen in theaters, plus a hilarious gag reel, trivia game, behind-the-scenes featurettes and more, priced to own at $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada. Also available day-and-date, Meet The Spartans will be released in an Unrated Blu-ray Disc edition for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S. / $49.98 Canada.
