Review – The Legend of Awesomest Maximus

Awhile back, a lost child showed up out of nowhere. It turned out he was 12 years old and had miraculously time traveled from 1980. Out of sync with the 21st century, he had no idea that being gay no longer makes people the object of ridicule and images of women with their shirts off are easily available on the internet. In order to help him feel less disoriented, National Lampoon designed this movie with the kid’s sense of humor specifically in mind. It also helped the poor child get caught up on key plot points from 300, Troy and Gladiator, the pictures parodied in this stinker. The next time I’m overcome by the mood for a witless comedy, I hope it’s at least a trifle less witless than this. Wish I’d skipped it
