Can nonsense be any funnier? Ni!

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2015)

I was in high school when I first saw "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", so you can imagine how many times we'd describe a woman with huge . . . tracts of land. The movie sent me into a fit of giggles then and it's done so on every viewing since. Is the infantile subject matter the reason for the Grail's easy accessibility? "Like of Brian" possibly better shows the troupe's anarchy-fueled wit, but this is where they push it to the point of lunacy. Silly beyond belief, and I love every bit.
We can all agree it's the most iconic of their movies. Everybody knows Monty Python by this movie: the Black Knight ("just a flesh wound"), the coconuts, the Knights who say "NI!", the rabbit. And people will quote long stretches of dialogue (not just catch phrase, I'm talking scenes); a high contender for most quotable movie of all time.
At the very least, it's damn funny.
