Once in a lifetime, there comes a motion picture, which changes the whole history of motion pictures...

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2002)

Rating 10/10
This movie cannot be surpassed by any other comedy of a more recent date and still claim to be original. It's a shame that the Python team never was able to make another movie like this one (though "life of brian" is pretty good); i guess this movie surpassed even their own shrubberies....

what IS a shame, is that - when the movie is aired on TV - they often show a version where the first part is cut out; the *REAL* movie starts with a commercial for a japanese restaurant. But that's just a 2 minute intro.
In some comments it is clear that the humor is not understood by some people. Well, politicians are not understood be even more people. My point ? that Sir Robin, Robert the Shrubber and the guard of Herbert is the same guy !!! but then again the two level effect between the shrubberies does make up for that....
One more thing: the music - especially at the end - is brilliant, adding to the professionality, but that's undone a little by some scenery. One of the best laughs up to this date for me is the bridge the Black Knight holds. My dead grandmother can jump over that creek in a heartbeat...
And people, the script of this movie is out there on the net, including some scenes that were not in the movie. Thanks, monty python, for making our lives seem just a lil easier.
