This is the not so legendary tale of the five somewhat brave Spartans who didn't go to Thermopylae, but instead were assigned to guard the secret goat path and ran away at the first sign of trouble. They were the laughing ... more »stock of the entire Spartan army. All they had to do was guard a lousy goat path. And they failed. Claudius, Darryl, Demetrius the Blind, Shazaam and Testicleese must embark on a hero's journey to redeem themselves and become true warriors armed with only a sharpened carrot, a rolling pin and an incredible sense of guilt. Smartly funny and based entirely on historical fact (allegedly), 305 proves that even the biggest losers get lucky sometimes.« less
Think Garbage and you will know whether or not you want to watch this really stupid comedy! There's no option for a 0/5 rating!

Worth your time

"This is obviously not a big budget studio production; but that being said, these guys produced one hell of a great movie! It's not the most brilliant piece of art ever created, but who cares because it's damned FUNNY!! Very fluid storytelling with a great no-name (at least for now) cast and tons of laughs in every scene. If you have laughed (or even chuckled) just once while watching The Office then I highly recommend this movie to you!"
Sparta-cular

"When I tried to rent 305 at Blockbuster, it was sold out. I had to drive across town to a different store to rent a copy. I think the gas cost me more than the rental.
We watched it tonight with our family and loved it. It's original and authentic. The Office meets 305 approach is so funny and engaging that I bought a copy from Amazon.
I want more Darryl and Claudius, more deadly carrots and rolling pins, more he-she oracles and battles with giants.
Will there be a 305.5? I think they left it open for that possibility. I'll be waiting."
Very weak spoof

"The only thing I can think of is that the director was trying for a Mel Brooks feel. What he got instead was an incredibly unfunny satire. This one really looks weak when compared to Go Tell the Spartans, which was in itself not a first-rate movie. Perhaps with better writing and a more measured approach it could have been a better film."
Oh how I wish it were like the short...

"Everyone should view the youtube short under the same name, along with the two trailers for this movie. They are all very clever and funny. But, you should stop there. This feature does not live up to the high standards set by the shorts. The acting is subpar/overacted and the humor just isn't there. Not to mention that the soundtrack just gets annoying. The witty humor of the internet clips remains only during the scenes taken from the online videos, but everywhere else is dry. It was very hard to stay awake throughout the whole thing (whereas I still watch the youtube short). The special features are interesting, but the overall plot and movie itself was very disappointing. It was filmed very well, and i could deal with the cheesy special effects because it didn't take away from the humor of the internet clip. In summary, 305 was very disappointing."
So Dumb...It's Funny!!!

"This is a stupid/funny spoof of 300 and The Office. Although I've never watched the office, I think I get most of the jokes, because Claudius is holding that cup every single time we see him. Claudius is kidnapped, and the 4 other Spartans must save him. The visuals and backgrounds look pretty fake, but if you have a great sense of humor, you'll probably like 305!!!!"
