Step Brothers. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly just might be magic on screen.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Even X-Philes want to believe this is the last chapter.

Any fan of parodies may feel draw to Meet The Spartans like a moth to a flame. If you take comfort in the Scary Movie series, Date Movie, and Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans may just be for you. But remember what happens to moths that fly into bug zappers.

Meet The Spartans makes you laugh at the recent action adventure movies to date. Assuming you shelled out the money to watch all those movies and are current with pop culture, you probably will not miss one joke in the movie. Meet The Spartans makes fun of all those movies and itself at the same time.

Do not expect Meet the Spartans to wow you with high-brow humor. It is what I call a good stupid movie. It will never win any awards, but is something stupid to watch that may make you laugh a couple times. Do not expect the trailblazing comedy Airplane offered decades ago.

Meet The Spartans will only be enjoyable a few years from now due to its movie and pop culture references. And that is ok. The movie does not promise more than it offers.

Consider Meet The Spartans the junk food of a well-balanced diet. It is alright to indulge every now and then, but know it should not take more than 90% of your daily intake.

Happy Viewing.
