305 (2008)

Why so much hype?

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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"

i would've voted 5 out of 10, but they put a lot into it, no matter how lame it looks...i haven't really looked into it, but i assumed some film school geeks with good stoner humor, is what this mockumentary was all about. it was funny, the beer fights, the fat dudes making their way to the oracle. funny if it were 4:20 and the blink guy...huh??? still funny in a sense. very cheap, but very funny. but is it better than meet the Spartans? i say (in the case of filling ten lines here) maybe...good change from the usual female comics, even though Carmen Electra is not really a comic...well, maybe when she is seriously acting, or dancing on baywatch....mmmm, baywatch.silentbob_rulz (10/07/08)

I beg anyone who doesn't plan on seeing this because of the low budget to reconsider. If one wished to compare 305 with other parodies of 300 one would probably find that this film comes out on top.The special effects are of coarse not the typical FX that you would find in a high budget film but they most definitely help make the movie what it is... a silly, well made (taking the budget into account), and for lack of a better phrase, "stupidly funny" film.Another tip for whomever is reading. If you like the TV show 'The Office' and it's quick and perfectly timed humor, you will find a lot in 305 to your liking and at least appreciate the film for what it is, a silly film that makes you laugh even though you know you shouldn't.
