Thirteen Spartans in leather underwear face absurd pop culture icons in a brisk, campy, and darkly comic battle.
Absurdist and pulpy, with big broad humor. A party watch at a brisk pace.
Streaming on Prime Video, YouTube (free) and Plex (free).
Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, some strong language and some violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of thirteen Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton). No one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture!
