This movie is so bad. It wasn't worth the 15 minutes I invested into it; I pity the fool who paid money to see this shit.

Agreed. I hate those movies where they think any casual pop culture reference counts as a joke

This should be common knowledge by the average ATOT user.... way before the movie ever even has any adds. WTF made you think it would even have a chance of being worth watching?

well the first couple "scary movies" were pretty good, so I can see at least giving this one a chance, but yeah I watch it for while on HBO and for the 30 minutes I watched I only laughed one time, and it wasn't even much of a laugh. Watched Beerfest on HBO recently too, at least that movie was good enough to watch the whole thing.

Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans and The Comebacks are all horrible, horrible movies that no one should waste their time with.

have you actually watched both movies or no, if not then that statement really isn't worth much, there is certainly a TON of good jokes you could make about the movie 300, so its entirely possible that the movie is good, but who knows if you ain't seen it?

the movie was a tad longer than 15 minutes ;)

also, the earlier parts of that movie are WWAYY bettr than the later parts of the movie.

so consider yourself lucky you turned it off after 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes of Meet the Spartans I had enough. Haven't seen Epic Movie, but I think I'll just pass on it.

I usually enjoy those types of movies. Airplane!, Spaceballs, etc are all very good movies, but Meet the Spartans just sucked so hard it's practically brilliant.

Airplane and Space Balls are actually funny. This new wave of spoof movies is complete shit.

You can all thank the Wayanseseseses for this mess, because they started it with Scary Movie, which was actually funny until every studio out there thought they needed a spoof of every genre or high profile film.

the only redeeming thing about these movies is that the chicks they get to play in them are usually pretty cute.

That's because movies like Airplane! and Spaceballs have actual plots. This spat of craptastic spoof movies are more like a bunch of disconnected Mad TV skits than movies.

Even that isn't enough for me to sit through a crappy movie.

yeah, thats very true, but since they keep their clothes on the entire movie it really ain't enough to justify me watching it...

I started watching it and couldnt take it after about 20-30 minutes into it. The intro of the 4 character was decent enough, but that was the high point of the entire movie, im guessing.

I switched over to msnbc and started watching the super tuesday coverage, which was more entertaining unfortunately :p

The 2 directors of these movies (Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer who have directed Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans) really need to be stopped. They're making Uwe Boll look competent.

Scary Movie ONE and Not Another Teen Movie were pretty funny and watchable for me as new-age spoofs.

People shouldn't even be allowed to bitch about movies like this.

If you don't like the genre, you're dumb for wasting your time watching movies from it.

I'd rather watch disconnected MadTV skits than Meet the Spartans. At least MTV skits often deliver.

Speaking of which, Amazon Women on the Moon is a rather disconnected movie that would fit your MadTV description. Decent movie worthy of a watching if you haven't seen it.

any movie following the
"____ Movie _" naming format, unless Scary Movie 1 or 2... I'm pretty sure I just wanna stay away from.
