your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2004)

"Fetchez la vache!" is the cry heard from the Frenchman as he taunts the silly English knnnnnnnigits. The Holy Grail is truly a comical masterpiece. With its frequent references to bodily functions and inappropriate sounds, it is full of teenage guy humour, which is fabulously funny. I know you're probably saying "get on with it!" but the humour is much too prominent a thing to simply gloss over.
During the film, there are many incidents of elderly women beating carpets with felines. The enchanter, Tim, sounds like Billy Connelly and is referred to as the "manky Scot".
The film is full of wonderful quotable material, which ranges from the Black Knight's swearing to the French taunting. The special features on the DVD are a great opportunity to make a prize idiot of yourself, which includes singing along to the Monk's Chant and striking your forehead with the DVD box. You can also watch parts of the film in Lego and Japanese, which again creates the opportunity for amusing subtitles. The Holy Grail is definitely one to watch. Suitable for men of all ages and women under twenty.
