    Isn't it Carmen Electra? Because if it is, the answer is no.

    Not Another Teen Movie is the only good one. All the Scary Movies suck except for 3 which is tolerable. Date Movie and Epic movie were also horrible. I imagine this one sucks too, but I will rent it someday.

    I'll pass. Guess I'm a bandwagon jumper, but this holds no interest for me.

    Saw part of "Epic Movie" a little while ago and it was physically painful to watch. Seen bits and pieces of some of the "Scary Movies" also, and they weren't any better.

    I'm with Bogg6ft7. I miss "Top Secret!" and "Airplane!" Hell, even "Naked Gun" was better than the parody stuff coming out today.

    Yes. And I'm sure I saw that Scareface "say hello to my little Friend" thing in another parody movie.

    Kids these days need to go the the viedo store and see the movies that the new breed of crap has clearly ripped off...

    The general consensus for Epic Movie in my school is "IT SUCKED ASS".
    The general consensus for Meet the Spartans from the same damn people is "OMFG WAI BETTAH, I LOL'D".
    That's enough for me, now I just gotta round up a posse to go see it...

    I might give it a go on the cheap, I just found that after Scary Movie 1 they lost the true spirit of parody (love what you mock) and went into more...how many pop culture refs can we fit while soulessly going "haha horror haha".

    Teen Movie though, I actually got a kick out of. :D 

    Epic Movie only exists for the Crispin Glover scene.

    they just dont write spoof movies like they used to. its all about pop referencing jokes these days, and they jump from one joke to another - afraid that audience will lose attention - without momentum. the running gag is a lost art.

    Scary Movie 1 and 2 were pretty funny, but I haven't seen 3 and 4.

    I don't need to see Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans to know that they suck so hard. I wouldn't go near those films; hell, I wouldn't touch them with an 80 foot pole.

    how long till spoof movies go the way of every other movie and start doing remakes?

    id say we will have a wayans injected version of airplane in about 2 years.

    I might watch it on DVD, but not waste time in going to the theater for that.

    I saw Rambo...now that's a funny movie. At one point he rigs a Claymore to a WWII bomb, and I swear he opens up a fucking dimensional rift...the explosion is so hardcore it warrants an aerial view as the hurricane winds level a mile of foliage. Also, at 61, Rambo runs so much harder than I've ever seen a living thing run, man or beast. Toss in disembowelments, men getting cut in half with machine gun fire, and laughable dialog, and you've got a movie 10000x funnier than Meet the Spartans. Rambo tied with Commando for my favorite action flick.

    meet the spartans....

    im sorry but having just watched this i can honestly say its the worst pile of crap ive seen in ages. There only 2 decent actors are the guy who played Hercules and the guy who was Leonidus and possibly the fat guy from Borat.

    The jokes were just piss poor and not funny at all, well thats not 100% true because i guess the joke about the 'painted abs' were funny but aside from that the rest were just odd advert type jokes.

    Im just curious but how does such a piss poor film like this get produced? i mean seriously the script should show how crap it is but even when making it the producers ect should see how rubbish its turning out. I guess the days when good comedy piss take films such as 'The Naked Gun, Repossest, Airplane ect' are just gone and we end up with rubbish shite like 'epic movie' and this tripe
