Great and Accurate

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2001)

This has to be one of the funniest movies of all time; even if you don't agree with the previous statement, it's impossible to disagree with the fact that it is THE most quotable movie ever. One thing most people don't realize is that this movie is probably the BEST cinematic representation of life in the Middle Ages so far. Sure, the self-abusive monks are quite funny, but people really did that. Aside from such obsurd elements as the coconut-weilding servant, a lot of this stuff happened or at least was believed to have happened by the people of that time period. This just goes to show that the best comedy arises from real life.
