Expired (2007)
Not clever enough
Contrary to other opinions here, we did not find this movie at all funny, entertaining, or worth spending and hour and a half to watch. Instead, we found it boring and sad only.
The biggest flash of humor was when Claire reads her mother's letter.
We have seen many movies with dysfunctional characters, sad situations, and about people living pathetic lives that were actually worth watching. Contrary to what the trailer portrays, this is NOT a love story; it is a study in how we all approach life in vastly different ways.
The acting was fine; the script just wasn't that clever or interesting. Teri Garr's character was the "highlight"; the main characters were so pathetic we didn't care about them.
Meet the Spartans (2008)
Please don't waste your money
Four of the adults in our family attended this movie tonight. Three males and one female, aged 29 to 55, all agreed that this show only deserves a rating of "1". The general consensus was that it may very well be the worst movie any of us have ever seen. There are actually a couple of sincerely humorous bits in the movie, but not enough to make it worth the admission. When other family members were asked who might like the movie, comments were "maybe the blind and deaf" (because they would be spared) or maybe someone between 6th and 9th grade. However, the subject matter is not appropriate for young people. The MPAA rating is "PG-13", but I think parents should think twice before showing this to younger family members. The jokes are often of a sexual nature and violence is portrayed, although in ridiculous ways. Of course, a spoof of "The 300" is expected to have violence of some sort. Viewers will understand more of the "jokes" if they have already seen "The 300", but it's not entirely necessary if you know a little about its plot. Kevin Sorbo and Carmen Electra are the best known actors in the film; what a comedown. We'd much rather see Sorbo in Andromeda or Hercules. If you're determined to see what it's like, I suggest waiting for the DVD. Better yet, wait until someone else rents it and watch with him! Once you decide to watch it to the end, stay through the credits. Like many of the newer shows, the credits have some extra things to watch. This one actually highlights some items more entertaining than the film itself.
