Meet the Spartans (84 mins, 12A) Directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer; starring Sean Maguire, Kevin Sorbo, Ken Davitian Meet the Spartans is a wholly unnecessary, completely mirthless send-up of the recent sword-and-sandal (or spear and leather-posing-pouch) epic 300 about Thermopylae from the comic pasticheurs who gave us Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie and other abominations.
