Let’s be honest, no-one goes to see a spoof with any expectations of cinematic artistry or Oscar-worthy performances.
These days, all a spoof is required to deliver is the broad lampooning of popular culture, a steady stream of juvenile toilet humour and a semi-naked Carmen Elektra. This latest offering from the people who brought you Date Movie has all that in spades, targeting not just 300 but also, bizarrely, dance movies and Britney Spears.
Why, then, the one-star review? Quite simply because, despite an onslaught of dick, fart, shit, fat and gay jokes, it’s as funny as a drowned kitten.
