Summary: The Best ever!
Review: Two of the best python films made Holy Grail & Now for Something Completely Different. The most original comedy I have seen in years. NFSCD is the best because it pulls sketches from all there original shows only thing it was missing was Sit On My Face.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: woo!
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Some dude didn't think it was funny but i guess thats because you cant be looking for some sort of incredibly deep and moving picture when you watch this...Sit on the couch, relax, dont think about your job,cut down the largest tree in the forrest with a herring,and laugh your bum off

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: This movie is by FAR the funniest movie ever. I love how much FAKE violence and good jokes their are! It sometimes gets annoying though watching all the debates. The ending is funny, but it makes the movie pointless. I just WISH I COULD GIVE IT 6 STARS! BUY THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ni! Ping! Neeeeee-WOH!!
Review: When I first saw MP&tHG several years ago, I didn't get it; however, after a little more aging and more exposure to all things Python, I can safely say that this is one of the best farces I've seen. All the Pythons do a good job, but John Cleese really outdoes himself; almost every character he plays is very funny (especially the French guard with the smart mouth). The animations are great as well.

I would have given MP&tHG 5 stars, but it does have its weaknesses. It's definitely uneven; it's hilarious when it's funny and almost awful when it's bad. The sheer absurdity of everything that goes on in the movie can turn off some viewers, and the gratuitous (if obviously fake) blood could lead to re-visiting of the most recent meal. If you don't "get" British humor, then I strongly suggest that you avoid MP&tHG; if, however, you like a nice shrubbery and can quickly recover from being turned into a newt, then this is for you.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The CREATORS of this movie should be sacked.
Review: This movie is NOT FUNNY! Some of the humor is childish, some of the humor is just stupid, and the rest of it is very, very disgusting. The scenes involving body limbs being cut off for any reason almost had me puke right in front of the TV. And the blood that comes from the aftermath is so obviously fake, but it comes in very disturbing gushes. It's outrageous to believe this movie was rated PG. But the reason I gave it 2 stars is that there were only a FEW moments that made me chuckle, including the opening credit subtitle gag, the "Trojans" scene, and the annoying man who sings constantly alongside Robin Hood, but doesn't know he's being a pain in the butt.

So, in other words, don't see this movie if very disgusting humor is not your cup of tea. But if you've been watching Beavis And Butthead since the day you were born, you might like it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: This has to be the funniest movie ever made. At some points you are completely lost as to the reason of a scene, but still find it strangely funny. The movie follows the adventures of King Arthur and some of his knights on their seperate journeys to find the Holy Grail.. Each encounter dangerous adversaries(?), such as beautiful 18 year old "nuns", and a rather foppish boy who needs rescuing from a unwanted marriage. There is really no describing it, other than absolutely hilarious. I recommend it for anyone seeking unending laughs. Even the beginning credits make you cry with laughter. A must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the most worthwhile film...
Review: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the most worthwhile film I have ever seen. The first time I saw it I was choking on my pizza with laughter before the film even began. Every time I see the movie (it's getting on near 30 times now)I find some funny line or bit I never noticed before. I own the film, and every time I get depressed, I watch it and it pulls me out. It's not been out of my VCR since I got it, and I watch it all the time. It's great background noise, conversation piece, and WONDERFUL entertainment. There is not one 10 min block of film without atleast 4 obvious jokes and one not-so-obvious. The running jokes throughout the film crack me up every time...no matter how many times one sees the film the incredible humor is still impossible not to laugh at. the acting in the film is wonderful, the plot hilarious, the writing itself creative and wonderful, the direction great... Each scene is a favorite, each line is an inside joke waiting to happen, each funny bit will keep it's humor until you die; it's not an expense to buy the film, it's an investment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Both funny and stale
Review: This movie has, hands-down, some of the funniest scenes in comedy history. The Black Knight, the wedding in the swamp, the Killer Rabbit, the Knights Who Say, "Ni!"...too many priceless moments to count, all of which make MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL a comedy classic. So why the four-star review? Because, unfortunately, for every inspired moment there's a dull one, a lame stab at humor that doesn't pay off. First-time audiences might be laughing too hard to notice, but repeat viewings just don't hold up--quite frankly, this movie is downright boring in some places. Feel free to watch it with a big group of friends (the opening credits alone will bring down the house), but don't expect an unbroken stream of laughter. I'm still giving it a strong recommendation because the best sequences in this movie are so damn hilarious that they're well worth enduring the flaws.
