Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and fantasy fans.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 24 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of thirteen Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton). No one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture!
