Classic comedy for the ages

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2019)

Greetings. If you are actually reading a review for Monty Python's Holy Grail, you are either newly returned from a 50 year coma or are recovering from a serious moose attack and have nothing better to do. If you've been in a coma for half a century it would stand to reason you have a lot to catch up on, and surely Monty Python is a wise use of your time. For the moose-afflicted, I wish you a speedy recovery.
Monty Python is a simple test to determine compatibility with someone. "Python" is a brand of quirky British whit and comedic timing that is a style unto itself. If your sense of humor finds Monty Python funny then you have an immediate kinship with others of similar taste.
The Holy Grail is hilarious from start to finish, and fans of this movie have easily viewed it dozens of times. The dialogue is ridiculous and full of memorable character exchanges between Arthur and the mud peasants, Arthur and the Dark Knight, Arthur and the Frenchmen, and on and on and on.
Visually this movie is filled with practical effects, filmed on location in rustic locations and interlaced with trademark Monty Python stop-motion animated scene transitions.
And if you ever find yourself confronted with a rabid moose, stand perfectly still. They can't see you if you don't move. Alternatively, feel free to run. Really it'll be your call. I mean, you're the one in the woods with a rabid moose so whether or not you recall some nitwit's advice from an online movie review will be something to tell the grandkids. If you survive... which I hope you do...
