The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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)

The film itself, '305,' is not a bad concept. It might've even gotten a bit more of budget had the other '300' spoof 'Meet the Spartans' not been released months prior.It's done as a mockumentary-style film, like 'The Office' (complete with Michael, Dwight, and Jim knockoffs), of the five misfit guards of the 300 Spartan army that fought the Persians (as we saw '300' and other films). These five (hence the '305') didn't make the cut for the first 300, as they're either overweight, or blind, or scrawny; so, they're sent off ('five miles in the opposite direction,' as one of the five says) on simple & stupid errands and duties, like protecting some goats.Sounds like it could be really funny, right? Well, it wasn't. Yeah, at first, there were some laughs from the sheer ridiculousness of the idea. . . but, it didn't amount to much more than a few chuckles throughout.As a play, it might've worked well. As a film. . . it simply was not worth it.Final Verdict: 4/10

I just saw this movie and i loved it, first of all its very low budget. The whole thing was done on a green screen and although it may sound rubbish the overall effect is really good.The main characters are 5 pretty crappy Spartans who weren't at Thermopylae, instead they were given the task of guarding the secret goat pass, which they fail to do resulting in Leonidas and the 300 dying. They then become the laughing stock of Sparta and now Claudius, Darryl, Demetrius the Blind, Shazaam and Testicleese have to go on a heroic journey to show themselves as true Spartans with no weapons and no brains. Just the desire to prove themselves as warriors.Its a great comedy with loads of laugh out loud moments and a really hot girl. It has a big internet following and a growing amount of fans. Well worth watching in my opinion.
