The Ultimate Party Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 1999)

I first saw The Funniest Movie Ever at a music camp movie night. We chose movies by voting on a pre-selected list. Ridiculously, Search for the Holy Grail was not one the list. No matter, it was written in and received by far the most votes. I, rather naively, told my friends, "Now I know you guys know this movie line-for-line, but try not to spoil the plot for me, okay?" In unison everyone replied, "What plot?" Ah, and there's the essence of The Funniest Movie Ever. What it's about isn't important in the least. It's really about finding a semi-cohesive way of stringing together some of the most hysterical scenes in the American/British cinema. The troll and the bridge scene is probabaly the most imitated in American society today. And yes, you will repeat most of lines along with the characters. It's just that fun.
