Python--an acquired taste

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 1998)

While Python may be an acquired taste for most, I had no problems with this film. I may be a little on the bias side though. I have been a Monty Python fan for about fifteen of my twenty years on this planet. The movie is by far one of my favorites, along with all the other Python flicks. If you are looking for something to suit your taste for the Arthurian legend...well I am sorry the name of King Arther and the use of Camelot, a very silly place, is just about as far as you will get. If you can get past that there is a great, and funny, movie waiting to split your sides, and insult your intelligence. So for a good time all you need is a TV, VCR, and someone who appreciates Monty Python as much as you do. Word to the wise, if you decide to watch this movie with someone who has never seen Monty Python before...be prepared for the usual questions of "what was that?", "Why did he do that?", and of course the dreaded, "Now that is just stupid!". A pre-movie viewing of Monty Python's Flying Circus may be in order. Use your best judgement, and watch responsibly.
