Blasphemous, Insipid, Lame, Vain... Horrid

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2013)

Worse and worse every time they made a film. THis one, made in 1979, is the pinnacle of their low taste, lack of moral, morality or ideas. Made the same year with excellent Jesus movie, this one is a shame of all they ever did. Nothing is funny here - the same silly grimaces of Idles, or Gilliam, or Innes or any other guy. The whole idea of exaggeration could have been good, but here it flops, fails, dies before getting even a wee bit funny. The whole 2 hours are a torture, overrated schlock and complete, vapid dross. Dross. Ash. Dead horse of a film. Humor? Is it here? Some claim there is. I stand with great late Malcolm Muggeridge who thought that film was a terrible piece of manure. He was not so straight, but I say that knowing that many fans of Monty would attack me angrily. But there are those who dare to say the true thing - this film simply is horrid. Point.
