100. Meet the Spartans

We embark on this journey with movie number 100 in the list, Meet the Spartans, released in 2008. It currently has a score of 2.6 on IMDB, as voted by 68,382 people. Hmm. Surely if so many people have seen it, it can't be that bad.

Oh. It has Carmen Electra in it. Okay, it does have the potential to be truly awful.

The plot summary is interesting to say the least.

"The heroic Spartan king Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag bunch of 13 Spartan misfit warriors to defend their homeland against thousands of invading Persians whom include the Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Autobots, and an ugly hunchbacked Paris Hilton and a shaved-head Brittany Spears."

I'm going to get one thing out of the way right now. I love 300. I love it so much that I am planning a 300 party at my house and at one point in time this was my ringtone. In light of this, the chance of Meet the Spartans making my brain bleed is pretty high.

Besides Carmen Electra the only other people I know in the main cast are Kevin Sorbo and Diedrich Bader. Based on this my level of excitement to watch the movie is a 3, but I push on anyway.

It might just be that I am 28 years old and spoof movies aren't exactly my thing anymore, but a man dressed up as a penguin taking a shit into some guys mouth is not funny.

It just isn't.

And on top of this, Diedrich Bader has the most annoying accent the whole way through the movie. Ugh.

AND! The guy pretending to be Ryan Seacrest looks nothing like him! I would have made a better Ryan.

I laughed a couple of times and the main guy didn't make me want to stab myself in the face every time he was on screen, so it wasn't a complete disaster. Oh! And I got to see a grown man staple jewellery to his nipple. Not sure if I will ever get to see that again in my life. So thank you, Meet the Spartans, you have provided me with a once in a lifetime moment.

The best line in this whole movie was: "I am going to go Hercules on your arse". Oh, Kevin Sorbo, you funny fucker.

Maybe if you were a 13 year old boy you would love this, but that is mostly because Carmen Electra whores it up on screen quite often. Otherwise, this movie sucks balls.

Now, I will assume that the last 5-10 movies drop in and out of the Bottom 100 list quite a bit, due to an influx of votes for other awful movies. Meet the Spartans was number 100 when I decided to take this on but it is now missing in action. It has been replaced by Time You Change, and I have to say I am very thankful that I do not need to watch that. The life story of a German gangsta rapper, really?
