Summary: Unfortunately dry comedy with wisps of humour
Review: Jabberwocky heavily relies on the success of Monty Pythons previous films. Unfortunately, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin failed to mimic the Python essence, leaving one eager for the ending.

Summary: Classic Gilliam
Review: Jabberwocky is the prototype for all future Gilliam films. Its muted anti-bureaucratic themes transcend centuries.

Summary: Hilarious, quirky, scatalogical, ribald, irreverent
Review: King Bruno the Questionable and his Chancelor Pasildeau create some of the most memorable comic scenes ever. Michael Palin as Dennis Cooper, Cask-making apprentice and efficiency expert, is equally memorable. Probably the funniest movie ever made about the "Dark Ages".

Summary: A Great Medival Mis-adventure
Review: My favorite director Terry Gillaim makes a great Medival Misadventure. It follows Dennis Cooper played by Michael Palin. Dennis is a stupid Git that loves the fat Gezelda. When Dennis arives home he sees that his father has died. As away to honor his father he goes to a city and tries to get a job. What Dennis does not know is that the monstourouse Jabberwocky has ruined the city. People are fighting over food and roofs to cover their heads. Dennis becomes friends with a Man that is going to fight the dredded Jabberwocky. The Man rather sleep with women than fight the Jabberwocky so he sends Dennis. Dennis does not want to go, but is forced into it anyway. This is Terry Gilliams first film as solo director. The viewer can tell by the way the camera does not catch many things. The special effects are actualy pretty good, the Jabberywocky looks very real. It's better than any computer generated hunk of doo-doo. Even know this film has three pythons in it, i wouldn't consider it a python film. It has a much darker tone that pythons comedy. I bought this at a hollywood video, i haden't seen it, and it was very very cheap. If you want to see it, i sugest renting it first.

Summary: a very bizzare but incredibly fun waste of a friday night
Review: My favorite Director, Terry Gilliam, and one of my favorite actors, Michael Palin, as well as a short appearance by my favorite of the python team, Terry Jones. By the way, both Palin and Gilliam are also Python veterans, for those who didn't know. The film is based on the poem "The Jabberwock" by Lewis Carrol, the man who wrote the Alice stories. It follows the story of Dennis Cooper, a peasant who, after he is disowned by his late father, leaves for the city, leaving behind his "true love" the obiese Griselda Fishfinger, who doesn't care a fig for him. What follows is a very entertaining adventure with lots of humor, lots of bizzare moments, some delightfully disgusting moments, which, in my opinion, make the film all the more fun to watch, and a few moments where you just can't help but feel sad for poor Dennis. A warning to a few parents or younger people: This film was made before PG-13 ratings existed, and has some blood and two parts with some very brief nudity, so you may want to be careful. All in all, this is a very fun film to watch.

Summary: Delightful children's poem
Review: Nonsense!? Who says this is nonsense!? This is the story of a boy hero who slayed a dragon. The delightful rhyme uses impressive nonsense words which have great phonetic appeal. My seven year old daughter requested rereading of this poem many times. The moral content is tremendous.

Summary: Must For Diehard Python Fans
Review: Okay, so it gets a tad tiresome. It's not quite the classic that, say Monty Python and the Holy Grail is. But it is wonderful, a wonderfully dark, gloomy comedy. See it with another Gilliam film sometime for a treat, and a peak inside the mind of a delightful madman without whom the world would be a poorer place.

Summary: A great, if eccentric, debut
Review: The presence of three of the Monty Python team might suggest a certain kinnd of film - this isn't it. It might seem like an extension of 'the holy grail', but is a lot less less sketchy, and not so silly. The plot is a basic inversion of the 'hero slays the dragon' myths, where the hero is a distracted cooper's apprentice who has no greater ambition than winning the love of the local fish-merchants repulsive daughter. that he unwittingly finds himself in the filthy and disintegrating castle of the ineffectual King Bruno the Questionable is just the beginning of his unwitting and unplanned adventures... that ends with him confronting the terrifying eponymous creature.. quite a dark film, with a humour to match. With silly bits too. recommended to every fan of the films of Terry Gilliam.

Summary: It will make you chortle with joy
Review: There has been a resurgence in toilet humor these days, what with Cameron Diaz getting spoo in her hair in "There's Something About Mary" and David Spade getting covered in poo in "Joe Dirt, " David Arquette rolling around in dog crap in "See Spot Run" and of course, Tom Green. But NO ONE does bathroom humor like this movie. Scatology and other base functions have never been so funny. And on top of that the dialogue and characters are very funny as well, my favorite being the ruler of the land, King Bruno the Questionable (son of Olaf the Loud). It also can be a very beautiful film, with Gilliam admitting in the commentary that he borrowed imagery not only from Tenniel but Bruegel and Bosch as well. And let's not forget Lewis Carrol who inspired this whole thing. "Jabberwocky" has been called the darker B-side to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," a moniker which I believe suits the film well. By the way, a chortle is described by Carrol as a cross between a chuckle and a snort.

Summary: Very Funny, Dark Medieval Comedy
Review: This is not a Python film so don't go in expecting another holy grail its not, First its not done in a sketch format like the grail, rather it stays with the main character throughout the film. Also the few Monty Python like scenes in it really seem out of place as the movie is very dark and cynical not the happy silly type comedy of Monty Python. This movie is underrated, its very good on many levels, the ending is excellent, it has great re watching value. I highly recomend checking this one out.
