Classic Comedy that stays fresh

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2004)

There are two kinds of people: those who think MP&THG is hilarious, and those who don't get it. My daughters and I love this movie...my husband thinks its just too silly. Which is the entire point!! Yes, it's silly. But it's also the most quotable movie I've ever seen. We watch it regularly and laugh our heads off. The DVD is particularly well done, with TWO commentary tracks and lots and lots of fun extras. Right now we're watching the Japanese translation. The subtitles are a HOOT. It's also fun to watch the ENGLISH subtitles. Now I know the words to "We're Knights Of the Round Table." LOL! Also, the "sing along with the monks" feature is rather funny!! You must sit and listen to the audio on it (if striking yourself on the head with your DVD box didn't hurt, you're not doing it hard enough!!)
If you're one of the few who haven't seen this, you should watch it with someone who finds it funny. It's much more fun to watch this in a crowd. It is heartening to me that my daughter, who is in high school, and her friends think this movie is as hilarious as I did when I first saw it in the 70s.
