The king of the ridiculous

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2018)

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a low-budget, ridiculous, hopelessly anachronistic ride that will still leave you laughing until your insides hurt. Much of the movie's comedy is of the "random funny thing just happened" variety, such as the famous credits scene with the "majestik møøse", but a careful listener may pick out certain references, in-jokes, and Easter eggs, especially concerning medieval history and culture. In addition to all this, the movie also features amusing dialogue, witty one-liners, and a fair amount of meta-commentary.
While the episodic structure of the film and "random" humor may well put some viewers off the movie, overall, it succeeds wonderfully at its intent: to be an absurd, funny, and at times surprisingly intelligent comedy.
