Rating: Summary: Funniest Movie of ALL time! Review: Ok- lets make this clear- YES it's a brittish film, and YES it's sometimes hard to understand if you not used to that type of accsent. I am 'cause I watch to much brittish stuff but I am a Canadian in every-way! Any-Way- this is a bit gross- but funny gross, and its got a swear word twice. But any way you will wanna see this film!! If you like comedy this is a must! And if you like John Cleese and you haven't seen this- you are nuts! (Oh yeah- John was the old guy on 24 Hibrow Street in the great mupet caper. She broke into his house- plus he was in the latest Bond flick) So go see it. I loved it as you can tell. (I mean you gotta love it if it got 5 stars)
Rating: Summary: A Holy Quest for the Sacred Grail....and a Shrubbery Review: Normally, I do not enjoy watching movies, repeatedly...however, this is Monty Python! I've seen this one many times and spread the word throughout the land.... I am proud to say that I have inspired hundreds of people to watch this movie, and they have done the same. I know of groups that have "Grail Quests" every year, because of this Classic. If you haven't seen it yet, you are missing the boat....but, you can find it if you purchase "Erik The Viking!" (another humorous Python escapade, with religio-philosophical overtones). All Monty Python is Fabulous!!! John Cleese should be Prime Minister, or....King ! Imagine The Royal Court! I'd love to see live coverage of all his meetings with other World Leaders.
Rating: Summary: I wish I could give it more stars Review: This movie probably is the funniest movie ever made. I'm completely serious. No movie is quoted nearly as often -- for crying out loud, it came out 25 years ago and people still recognize lines from it. You will start laughing in the first minute or two, and will not stop laughing, or even slow down, for the entire duration of the film. I have often wondered how these Monty Python guys ever came up with so much random hilariousness.A couple things I just want to mention -- my theory is that the Monty Python guys set out to satirize not only the medieval world, but the nature of power, and it's relation to myth. I took an amazing course once on this topic with Prof. Laurence DeLooze, and he pointed out a lot of intriguing things. This movie can actually really get you thinking about what rationalizations underlie any powerful institutions, kingship or otherwise. Or even what rationalizations we employ every day to justify our own behavior, Sir Lancelot's shenanigans at the wedding party being the case in point. What if you didn't respond to some of the situations they portray with laughter, but with outrage? Perhaps that is a better response. Especially having read Eric Idle's remarkably sophisticated ideas about the nature of humor in a book he recently came out with, I'm inclined to suspect that these dudes had a few (good) ideas in mind, behind the laughter they've provoked for a quarter of a century. Just a thought.

Review: Without a doubt, this is the worlds funniest movie ever!!! excellent portrayal of pythonism, i would cut your arm off if you didn't give it five stars! no dead parrot here and i'm not assaulting you with a basket of lumbagos ,and i may walk sillier than most, but i know comedy when i see it.

Rating: Summary: The Funniest Movie Ever Made Bar None Review: This movie has it all: violence ("It's just a flesh wound."), sex ("I am Sir Galihad the Chaste." "And I am Zoot, just Zoot."), taunting ("You empty-headed amimal food-trough wiper!"),politics ("Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses.") and music ("We're the Knights of the Round Table, we dance when'er we're able.") You want a moive with quotable lines? THIS IS IT! The writing is fantastic, the humor is screwball and oh so British, and the costumes are excitingly authentic, except the witch's ("We did do the nose.")
Rating: Summary: A review for the greatest comedy of all time... Review: If you're ever in a sad mood, and want to be cheered up, watch this film. I have seen it probably 70 times or more, and I still laugh at it every time I see it, even though i can probably recite the entire movie. I don't see how anyone can rate this movie below five stars, because Monty Python is an institution, the gods of funny, with nobody in existence that could ever match their humor. This movie is personally my favorite comedy, and even the rudimentary special effects add to the funniness. And if nobody agrees with what I say, "your mother was a hampster, and you're father smelt of elderberries!"
Rating: Summary: IT IS a great movie! Review: It appears like a bit old movie, probably because DVD version did not improve any part of the "image technology". The film imagery however, compensates it all. It looks to me that the movie is so much like Great Britain: bit old fashion (!?!?)rich and bold and funny and inteligent and sarcastic and not so sutle and surreal! It is a movie to be seen many many times!
Rating: Summary: Hahahahahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! Funny film Review: The best Monty Python movie out there, this isn't just a great parody of the Arthur's Holy Grail odyssey, but it's also a rapid fire of killerjokes. I don't honestly think there is a minute you don't find yourself laughing with this. Now, even though someone writes as funny script than this, he will still have a very difficult time making it as funny as this, because the Monty Python gang members were arguably the six funniest lads in England that time (probably in the whole world, because the Yankees were laughing at turkies like "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo" oh mother!!!). especially Eric Idle and John Cleese give a breathtakingly funny performances. So, whatever anyone says, this is still the best movie about the theme. Gosh, why do everyone keep laughing at 70's? (It's the clothes, moron!)
Rating: Summary: Not for the chicken hearted (such as Sir Robin) Review: Granted - it often drags, some sequences are boring, and those expecting a plot (...which would only show they have never watched Monty Python) will be disappointed. Yet anyone with the slightest interest in the Middle Ages will be hard put not to collapse with laughter at some of the characters and scenes. Culture buffs (...well, most of them...) would call this junk food, but those who love humour would agree that it is as spicy as nachos and addictive as crisps. Fill up!
Rating: Summary: Camelot is such a silly place Review: As is my household in which quotes (or quotes slightly altered) from this movie are a part of everyday life including "Help,Help! I'm being repressed." "Stop grovelling, oh I do hate it when you grovel" "I fart in your general direction" " No, it's too perilous" "One day son this will all be yours" (What the curtains?) "You know much that is hidden, oh Mum (?)" So I recommend you buy this film. It might become a way of life.
