Easily one of the finest comedies of all time!

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2011)

Everyone knows this is a good film. That is not a question. Everyone I've shown this film to has laughed out loud consistently throughout. Neither is the question "how good is this film?" We all know its brilliant. Everything the Pythons have done is brilliant. Gee then... What is this question I am basing my review on... Well maybe it's "Where can I find a decent shrubbery in early 6th century England?" Nah, that one's easy, you just go see Roger the Shrubber. Perhaps "If witches are indeed made of wood (which would explain their buoyancy) then why can't we make a bridge out of them?" Ah geez I just don't know what the real question is! Seriously this is one of the best comedies of all time! The Python's are masters of whacky slapstick, silly one-liners, and tongue in cheek play and this film showcases that as well as any of the better episodes of "Flying Circus" (although I feel Flying Circus is a more rewarding body of work in terms of originality and scope). I guess the real question is, if you haven't seen this masterpiece yet, what the heck are you waiting for? Bloody Peasants!!!
