The quintessential dark ages comedy

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2001)

IMHO the #2 Monty Python comedy. Through most of the movie it's a toss up between whether it is funnier than "The life of Brian", but the ending is a bit of a let-down - yes, it's funny in a way, but you end up with the impression that they ran out of time and/or money and had to end it in a different fashion from what they would have liked. Still, watch them both.
