Summary: Does anybody get this movie but me?
Review: I've seen the reviews of this from other people, and although all positive, they don't seem to get it, maybe their percept-o-meter is broken. This movie hilariously lampoons one of those legendary stories that all countries have and most people believe to be true. They show the rediculous nature of royalty, and I certainly never perceived the peasants he encountered as communists. (Nor do they make themselves out to be that way). Here are these people, working their land, and all of a sudden the "King" comes along. They want to know who made him King? Why, the lady of the lake, of course. They're supposed to believe he has some devine power given to him by some aquatic tart? That scene is clearly about how people will get along fine if just left alone, we don't need any self or otherwise appointed regents to come along and save us from ourselves. I seriously doubt the human race survived over a million years without such dictators by accident. The movie shows the lengths that people will go to get people to believe things that simply aren't true. Hence, the scene about the "witch". I love the holy hand grenade scene, where the priest figure reads of a sacred book with bible-like prose with instructions on how to detonate the holy hand grenade. Is this not a perfect metaphor for how religious zealoutry often breeds violence and, look at Palestine, explosions? Keep your percept-o-meter on high with this movie, because it's not just hilarious, it's perfect dogmatic satire. It's sort of an illustration of what stories and legends would have us believe, if only we were so stupid to fall for it. The cast of Monty Python were comic geniuses.

Summary: uLtimate comedy in existance
Review: This is one of the all time best comedies in existance.
You need not be british to understand the humor,
and ridicule they foust on the audience.Classic scenes include the black knight that with all his arms and legs cut off is still telling king arthur to return and fight. The cute bunny that guards the information to where lay the holy grail. And the fiasco the knight of the round table have getting past him. The constant use of coconuts to make the sound of galloping horses that do not exist. And how to deterimine if a person is a witch.
You will be amused, and bust out laughing all through out this
movie.
And who says you have to have credits at the end?

Summary: One of the funniest movies ever
Review: This movie is just hilarious. I don't know how else to put it. It's basically a series of short sketches that have to do with the legend of King Arthur. He blunders his way about the land gathering 'knights' on his way and leading them on a search for the Holy Grail. Along the way, he has some hilarious encounters. One of the funniest aspects of this movie is the dialogue. Some of the scenes are incredibly funny. The burning of the witch (she turned me into a newt!) and Dennis the peasant (you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just cause some watery taut threw a sword at you!) are among the most memorable. Equally funny is Arthur's battle with the black knight and Sir Robyn's encounter with the giant (when danger reared it's ugly head, he boldly turned his tail and fled). The special features in this set are fabulous. What could be more funny than Monty Python in legos! Just the bonus disc is enough to entertain someone for hours. Monty Python is undoubtedly one of the most talented comedy troupes ever to perform, and this is the creme of the python's crop. If Monty Python isn't funny, I don't know what is.

Summary: Silly-ness and Snorts
Review: Another Monty Python marvel, The Holy Grail has a delightful spontinaity to it (which stems from the fact that the leading actor was drunk for the entire duration of the filming). Like all Python films, it is a wonderfully confusing mixture of slap-dash storylines, the obscene and ridiculous, and a satiric view of Celtic history. This film, however, is unique in its "simply silly" approach to one of Britain's most loved myths... Killer rabbits, three-headed knights, naked ladies, snobbish Frenchmen, and flying cows abound, so sit back and enjoy the show!

Summary: Python's Greatest Finally on DVD!
Review: I've been watching "Holy Grail" since I was 3 years old. On DVD, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is one for any DVD collection. The first disk includes the movie with some great commentaries by the surviving members of Python and subtitles. This disk also lets you peak into the mind of Terry Gilliam with some of his original animations as the menus. Finally, to show that they care, Monty Python has added a special feature for the Hard of Hearing. The second disk is all extras. My personal favorite is the "Quest for the Holy Grail Locations" documentary where Michael Palin and Terry Jones visit some of the locations for the film and give you a play-by-play of making the film. There's much more, but I don't want to give it all away. I recommend "Holy Grail" for anyone who loves comedy. It's one of those movies that you just never get tired of.

Summary: Monty Python!!!!!!!!
Review: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a great, and I mean great movie. It starts out with a king with no horse and a guard arguing about how coconuts got to England! When His Majesty the King has FINALLY got his knights, they run into a taunting Frenchman who runs them off by throwing livestock at them! And this is the entire movie! The king and his unfortunate 'ka-nigets' run into a killer bunny, Tim the Enchanter, and Knights that say "Ne!" Rated PG
App. 89 min.
(A good movie but parents might want to preview before letting kids see it. There are some not very nice words. But, inspite of that, an overall good movie.) Hope this was helpful!

Summary: The Pythons finally find their voice!
Review: To be honest with you, I was never a big fan of the Flying Circus when it was on TV, but this had to be one of the most inspired bits of tomfoolery committed to film! Between "Naughty, evil, wicked Zut!", the taunting of Sir Robin by one of his own minstrels, the Black Knight that refuses to give up even after Arthur chops off all of his extremities and various other sight and word gags too numerous to mention, anybody with a good sense of the absurd will love this movie! It's a classic and deservedly so, joined in general quality by the uproarious "Life Of Brian"! However, the Pythons couldn't keep it up beyond "Life Of Brian', and you'll notice they pretty much broke up after the miserable "Meaning Of Life", only making cameos in Gilliam's movies afterwards. Enjoy the first TRULY funny effort by the crazy Pythons!
