Definitely does not stand the test of time

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2005)

I have heard so much about MP+THG from friends that I finally decided to rent it. What a waste of money and time. Much of the humor is dry and/or stale, and the only thing that deserves praise is the classical music score.
The dark ages were a fascinating time in which many great stories are set in, even to this day. This movie has plenty of information to weave a coherent plot line around; it just fails to do so. The special effects, well what am I saying- there are no special effects worth mentioning. None of the characters are particularly engaging either.
All I can say is this is stale British comedy to the max.
