The Legend of Awesomest Maximus
Director: Jeff Kanew
Actors: Will Sasso, Kristanna Loken, Sophie Monk
PlotIn an ancient, mythical kingdom, a not-so-bright but robust warrior named Awesomest Maximus is chosen to lead his people, the Spartans, against their rivals, the Trojans. Despite his bumbling nature, Maximus vows to prove his worth, leading his comrades into an array of comedic and chaotic situations. The Spartans find themselves embroiled in a mix of political and romantic entanglements, including a brewing conflict between King Looney and his conniving queen, who plots to manipulate events in her favor.
At the same time, tensions rise as Prince Orlando of Troy falls for Princess Ellen of the Greeks, stirring up even more trouble between the nations. There is also the narcissistic Greek hero Testicleese, whose ego poses a threat to everyone around him. As Maximus trains his men, their misadventures escalate, testing their limits and loyalty. The film maintains a humorous tone, using parody and slapstick comedy throughout, capturing the essence of classic epic tales but with a comical twist. The journey sees characters navigating alliances, love interests, and ridiculous battles, all while maintaining a farcical spin on historical themes.
