I liked the scene involving the 'Pit Of Death' up until Britney Spears made an appearance, I tittered slightly on seeing a cat's turd stuck on the face of the sandman (that's right, the sandman), and the fight scene where Leonidas gives a wedgey to one of the Persian soldiers was actually quite good. Unfortunately the rest of this film was so uninspired, wayward and off the mark that you have to pity the poor fools who came up with this crud. They were obviously trying to parody and cross compare American trash culture with the rigid and principled code and glory of the Spartan people, but all they could manage to do is bitch about how the Spartans were probably a bunch of homosexuals. This film used the homosexual link to provide 95% of the humour in this spoof film but this was particularly surprising as I thought most Americans were either gay themselves or at least find nothing wrong with it...hence all their ass references.....The mind boggles!!
