Meet the Spartans (2008)

From the previews I can tell it will probably suck but I honestly did laugh at the end when he Sparta Kicked Britney Spears. I'll probably go see it just for that part alone.

I agree though... no more spoof movies... Not Another Teen Movie was probably the funniest because it actually spoofed... the rest of these aren't even spoofing movie-types anymore... they're just taking a movie theme and adding a bunch of sexual/toilet jokes in for the hell of it while throwing in a few other movies to boot - this movie is no exception.

A true spoof movie needs to make fun of what made the genre they're making fun of so ridiculously cheesy. I haven't seen one yet that does that. Even Date Movie failed miserably.

Eh, didn't look that bad.

Parody movies are getting kinda old though. The only one I really even liked was Not Another Teen Movie.

The first time they did it, it was like, "Ah cool" and was mildly amusing. Then they started coming out with them 10 at a time, and it was like "ah fuck, another one?" In other words, they've saturated the market and ruined if for themselves. Personally, I just prefer movies with much more depth then these care to show.

Thanks Hollywood.

What about Last Action Hero? From the synopsis it looked like it actually spoofed.

[Plow]

wtf @ not another teen movie being the best spoof

first off scary movie was better than any of the other recent ones


but come on people, Spaceballs HELLOOO

[BRP]

Parody movies got old after the era of Naked Gun and that one army movie with Charlie Sheen. They are dead and horrible now, all of them.

Spaceballs was a parody of a single movie. I assumed we were talking about the more recent genre parodies like Scary Movie and Last Action Hero.

Austin Powers

I thought Not Another Teen Movie was actually laugh out funny in alot of the scenes. This coming from someone who pretty much hates all of the above parody movies. (Short of Austin Powers.)
