Way back when, when Meet the Spartans first came out, I thought the advertisements were hilarious, but also that they were probably the best part of the movie.
I was right. This movie is "Very Stupid", it's just a series of jokes, and it works better in the 30-second add format far better than it works in the 86 minute movie format.
It is still a million times better than 300, which it is parodizing, and not even half so stupid. It objectifies women horridly, and makes a lot of gay jokes, but it still manages to be funny in a few places, Not worth the 86 minutes you'll spend on it, but there's still some things in there.
Especially if you suffered through 300. It does a good job of making fun of that worthless militant war-glorifying thing which made it obvious we in America forgot the lesson of 'That Old Lie'.
