All you need is a high tolerance for the absurd

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2006)

The Monty Python comedy troupe,fresh off their success in England with their t.v. series "Flying Circus" decided to pool their talents to film,hoping to broaden their appeal to the states. Around this time,their series would get syndicated and broadcast on PBS,which allowed for a steadily growing cult status among us Yanks,particularly with college students.
It's tough to say which,the series or this movie,salted the troupe's status as cult faves here,but they both seemed to be of equal parts effective.
King Arthur is on his quest to find the Holy Grail and as he gains knights to attend to his quest,he also finds various obstacles along the way. The cheapness of this movie,coupled with the Pythonesque sense of silliness,fills in the rest of the way here.
One who sees this movie must be forewarned: this movie will only truly appeal to those who are willing to throw out their sense of a linear plot in favor of an almost sketch-comedy sensibility. There will be some that may find this film annoying,and that's probably what the creators thought was going to happen anyway. Those who DO appreciate the kind of loose-ended comedy(or people who just are aficionado's of comedy in general) will in all likelihood,truly appreciate this film and will try to commit the various lines made famous to memory. Now,"Run awayyyy!!"
