305 (2008)

If you thought MEET THE SPARTANS was the worst 300 spoof out there, you haven't seen 305, an even cheaper and much, much lamer rip-off. The story sees five chubby guys standing in front of a green screen throughout, sharing supposedly comic banter that'll have you wanting to pierce your ear drums within minutes of this inanity beginning. The plot is supposedly about five extra Spartans tasked with defending a goat path against the enemy. It's terrible, truly terrible, indescribably so in fact.

305 tells the story of the 5 misfit Spartans who didn't make the cut due to them being too fat, blind, or just idiots. When they get a little overzealous and run off to fight some Persians, leaving the goat road they were tasked to watch unattended, the Persians make short work of the 300 and the 5 misfits are on the run. This spoof of both "300" as well as "the Office" was funny enough, for the most part, and I enjoyed it immensely more than the completely cinematic excrement that was "Meet the Spartans" despite the extremely low-budget of this film. Hey here's an idea, give the makers of THIS film $30,000,000 and let the extremely untalented duo of Friedberg and Seltzer have to scrounge up pocket change for Their so-called 'films' My Grade: B- DVD Extras: 2 Commentaries (one for the actors & one for the directors); the original 305 short; A making of; 'the lost interviews'; 3 deleted scenes; Cutting Room Floor; On the Road with the 305;Visual Effects Featurette; and Trailers for "Moola", "Niagars Motel", "Raising Genius", & "See this movie"

With Hollywood cranking out American Pie 10 or Eurotrip meets Harold and Kumar a movie comes around with genuine humor and laugh out loud moments! In the vein of Mel Brooks, David Zucker, Christopher Guest, Jared Hess, and Monty Python the Holechek brothers craft a hilarious tale with a no name cast. Having no budget and being propelled into a feature length because of YouTube popularity gives it more of a reason to check it out. Not to mention it has travel to the Palm Beach, Another Hole in the Head, Indie Spirit, and Newport beach film festivals!This is the little film that could and deserves to be in your DVD collection! If you want a laugh to the point you have the pause the movie then this is your ticket. Rent/Buy it tonight!

Just what the world needed... another "300" parody only this time make it extra lame.This particular one is not nearly as funny or interesting as "Meet the Spartans" which was actually a very fine and comical parody of "300".This version almost seems intent on being bad with the "five extra lost" Spartans being seriously un-Spartan-like and yes, even a special-ed kid would get that, but come on... who finances all these crappy movies? Avoid this stupidness like the plague, unless you liked "Hottie or Nottie" in which case, don't rent but buy the DVD. Everybody else can just say no.
