Meet The Spartans (12)

Aug 16 2008

STARRING former EastEnders actor Sean Maguire and Carmen Electra, this is pure trash.

As well as the script acknowledging that Spartans is a cheap rip-off of last year's hit 300, this is a cruel film which takes a handful of crude jokes and repeats them adnauseam.

Twin directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are never ashamed to use product placement when it suits. And then there's the violence, much of it directed against children.
