Completely Bizarre, Completely Original

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2001)

The first time I ever saw this movie was a hacked-up version on PBS with a group of rowdy friends. Even with all its naughty bits cut out, I could see this movie was a definite cult classic. When I finally got to see the whole thing, I could not stop laughing. It's now an integral part of my video library, and when I need to just forget everything that's happened in a day, I put it in and before long start singing "Knights Of The Round Table" and hurling insults along with the French soldier.
A side note: I used to teach Sunday School, and we would occasionally use VEGGIE TALES episodes to make familiar Bible stories more understandable to the kids. The first time I saw the peas hurling silly invectives in an exaggerate French accent, I nearly fell out of my chair. A priceless example of how this completely bizarre, completely original movie has become an integral part of our pop culture landscape.
