a classic

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2006)

Monty Python, famous British acting troupe, does good. If you like irreverent humor, The Flying Circus series, or any of the single actors, you will LOVE this movie. We own it. There was no question of whether to buy it. We have the DVD collection which has quite a bit of the movie's history included. We enjoy the extras almost as much as the movie itself. The plot was hilarious, the comic timing incredible, and the direction stunningly fabulous. My son (12) loves the movie. We skip over a certain part, where Sir Galahad has his little adventure, for my son. Other than that, it's pretty "clean" as far as Monty Python goes. Go over the list of actors and you'll see just how low-budget this film was. And for all that, it still is an incredible movie. If you like this one, check out The Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life. (Make sure you read the summaries first. These are more irreverent to my way of thinking and my son has not seen them yet.) Buy the movie. Pop some popcorn, sit in the dark with your loved ones, and laugh your head off. What a fabulous movie!
