Summary: The Best Monty Python Movie Ever
Review: Hello Python fans! This movie is an overlooked clasic to the Monty Python Video Collection. This marvalous film takes the cake for the most creative work the team has ever produced! So pop the popcorn and watch this with your friends and family, it's sure to be a hit!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY WRETCHED
Review: Hello. My name is Johan Gambolputty de von Ausfernschplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitz-wemache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm. I would like to take this time to apologize to my pet penguin Terry-even though it wasn't technically penetration, I still feel bad about it. (He's allergic to television sets). I also wish to revoke my rating of this DVD - I give it 5 stars (it was delightful).
Thank you,

Summary: It's silly. Very silly indeed!
Review: I am going to voice a dissenting opinion. To me, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the group's weakest effort. I opine that And Now for Something Completely Different ranks to me the most laughs per minute in a Python movie. Although the sketches are reshot from the BBC TV Series, they have a refined sense to them that makes them racier and funnier. Python fans know of the Milquetoast Mr. Putie and his encounters with the almighty, the Hell's Grannies, Ernest Scribbler and the effects of his humor writings, and one of my favorite characters in all Pythondom, the Graham Chapman portayed stuffy Royal Army Colonel who interjects to oppose the scenes he thinks are a bit silly. Right! ANFSCD provides an excellent first glimpse of what it was that made the Python so incredibly funny. I wish real British comedy would again influence the American movie screen. The best we seem to have is the Mike Myers Austin Powers movies whose humor gets old after just a few viewings. I shudder when some people say to me that Austin is British comedy. Bollocks! Plus, I'll take Carol Cleveland over Liz Hurley or Heather Graham anyday. Bottom Line: Pythons rule forever!

Summary: Oh, Bevis, and I thought you were so RUGGED!!
Review: I LOVE MONTY PYTHON!! No one will ever come close to what they've done over the years, that's a guarantee. This is a look back at all of their best sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus, their highly successful television show. Some of their best work is on here, the Lumberjack Song, the Dead Parrot Sketch, How To Defend Yourself Against Fruit, the Funniest Joke Ever Told, Upper-Class Twit of the year and more!! What more could you possibly ask for?? Buy it just for the fact that it has Mr. Gumby, Michael Palin's intelligence-deprived dimwit, on the cover, he's funny just to look at!! Anything Monty Python does is funny, but this is one of my favorite things they've done because it gave all of us who never had a chance to watch their show an opportunity to see their best work over and over and over and over and over again.

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. -He's a lumberjack and he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day.- I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory. On Wednesdays I go shoppin' and have buttered scones for tea. -He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatory. On Wednesdays he goes shoppin' and has buttered scones for tea.

Summary: well, well, well
Review: I think we've all been here......or have we?? This is indeed the very best of Monty Python's Flying Circus.Even though it is kind of different, it's splendid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is Love at First Sketch
Review: If you have been living in a cave and haven't had a chance to view any of Monty Python on public television. Then is definitely Monty Python 101. This movie complies all the great sketches including the Parrot Sketch, the Vocation Guidence Counselor Sketch and of course my personal favorites, the Lumberjack Song and the Mountanineering Sketch. This film is definitely not an Ex-Parrot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Movie I Ever Saw!!!!
Review: If you want Great Laughs, humor, or something funny, then you should whach Monty Python and Now for Something Completely Different. I loved it and I hope you will too (most of this is slap stick humor).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A straight FIVE-star
Review: It is a compilation of the most famous sketches from the 'gang'. I suppose if you are not familiar with British comedy -especially of this type you should be a bit skeptical about purchasing this item. However, do NOT fret! All it takes is some VERY SICK sense of humour and you are in for the greatest laughs of your life. I had to wait for a month when I ordered this item as it was not available at the moment but it was certainly worth the waiting!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great collection.......
Review: Its a very good collection of sketch's but as said earlier,the original live version's feel superior esp if you've seen them first.The Gym sketch is hilarious on the film but is knocked down by the original.I couldnt stop laughing at the original with the "tiger-on-wheels" rolling past the camera,which I seem to remember being excluded from the cellular version.Oh well.
