Summary: NOT FOR THE CEREBRALLY CHALLENGED
Review: ONE OF ALL-TIME FUNNIEST MOVIES IN THE GALAXY. NAILS THE CATHOLICS, THEN THE PROTESTANTS, AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS. REALLY FUNNY SATIRE OF AMERICANS. NOTHING AND NO ONE IS SACRED. A LESSON IN SARCASM, OR AS MARGE SIMPSON WOULD SAY, 'VERY NICE.' HAVE FUN!

Summary: AUGH!
Review: CALLING ALL MONTY PYTHON FANS... Monty Python are comic gods. I have seen all their episodes and each movie as well. And let me tell YOU... What a comedown for the group! This movie is an utter disaster. I saw this for the first time with a bunch of fans, and we were all disappointed. It just wouldn't end! We thought it was so bad that it's now a joke for us. First of all, there is very little funny material. Here I outline the film's few highlights- the machine that goes *bing!*, "Where's the fish?", the organ donor, and possibly the angel of death scene. The rest isn't that amusing, and some scenes are utter drivel- ESPECIALLY the fat man exploding (revolting) and the "every sperm is sacred" song (We ALL thought it was childish, including the guys). I've read the reviews here and I don't mean to offend the zealous fans of this movie (and of what we thought were the worst parts). However, I have to warn people that if they're looking for great Monty Python, they'll be sadly disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: (Except for the "puking"), 'Twas the Best Of Python
Review: The "Restaurant" segment didn't go down too well (oops, bad choice of words), but the rest of the film was excellent. "Every Sperm Is Sacred" is an amazingly catchy tune.

And there was much rejoicing by Python Lovers everywhere.

YAYYYY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fat Guy Explodes
Review: In one of the scenes, a fat guy explodes. What more do you need to know? Watch this movie! I would like to get one of those machines that go "bing!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Python film never made.
Review: This is the best Monty Python film that they never actually made. It's funny from beginning to end, and the songs are easy to learn and, therefore, easy to impress your friends with tales of sacred sperm and other such delights. If you have ever laughed at Python humour then you should buy this dvd. . . it will not leave your player (except when it needs the toilet).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not bad, but...
Review: this one was all right, but overall it was the least of the three python films. recently i read an article by the python troup, and they confirmed what i thought when i saw this movie; contractual obligation. they did this movie because they were under contract and they were told that they'd never have to do another movie again. ah well, such is life. it has many fine moments, such as the live organ transplant, etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic
Review: This is Monty Python at its best. The humor is terrific, and the entire story line is hilarious! After a classic like "The Holy Grail", but a failed excused for a comedy like "Life of Brain", (but the Suicide Squad was brillant), its great they made another classic film. I read they're planning on coming back in the newspaper. I sure hope so. Oh, and whomever gave this movie a bad review, SCREW YOU! Thank you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CLOSE TO THE BEST PYTHON MOVIE EVER
Review: No one is a bigger Python fan than me, and I can say right here and now that Monty Python really went over the top with this movie. I don't know what I laughed at the most: the rediculous songs or the overall cynical outlook they have of life through the whole movie, but it doesn't matter. What does matter that I laughed. And laughed, and laughed, and laughed. There wasn't a dull moment! As soon as you stopped laughing, another thing happens and you start to laugh all over again! I'd reccomend it to anyone. It's a tie with the Holy Grail as the best Python movie ever.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ah, I see you have the machine that goes "bing!"
Review: In my opinion, this film is not as good "Life of Brian" or "Holy Grail" and "And now for something completely different." It has its moments, such as "The Sperm Song" and Michael Palin and Eric Idle dressed up as the "tiger," plus some others, but it's more sicky humor than the rest of the Python films. You sort of get the impression when you watch this film (at least I did) that Monty Python knew they were probably doing their last real movie, so they set out to make is as offensive and disgusting as they could - I believe they succeded. There's some good stuff in there, but there weren't any characters or plot, and I think Terry Gilliam got a little bit carried away with "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" or whatever that was. However, if you're a Python fan, you really ought to see this movie, just because it is their film. It's very sick, but it's still Monty Python, and it's still funny.
