Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Pros: gut busting humor
Cons: nada

Once in a lifetime a movie comes along that is unparalleled in it's genre. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is just such an endeavor. Nothing that came before it can hope to compare, nor anything since. This movie spurned sooo many catch phrases,...

Pros: You either get it...
Cons: ...or you don't.

[Note: For best results, read this review aloud, using a clipped British accent. If you’re a female, put a slovenly growl around the edges; if you’re male, go up to a quavering, Julia Child falsetto.]

[Oh, and one more...

Pros: Hmmm, how about everything?
Cons: Cons? Gimme a break. I love everything about this DVD.

Way back when I first started writing movie reviews, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a film I always intended to review. For some reason or another, I went back and reviewed old favorites like Alien and 1941 (No...

Pros: lots of belly laughs
Cons: none unless you don't understand British humor

Monty Python has done it again! His zany, slap-stick, British sense of humor goes beyond comprehension into the land of the mundane. This picture is not to be understood. It was made to make you laugh. It succeeds in its goal.

Many pictures...

Pros: lots of hilarious one-liners
Cons: really stupid ending, some humor not appropriate for younger or especially sensitive viewers

I finally had the chance to see this movie over the weekend after years of my incredulous friends telling me they couldn't believe I hadn't seen it. Somehow I wound up absent the day they showed it in my British Literature class, and the perfect...

Pros: British comedy at its best!
Cons: American viewers might not understand some of the British humor

Among all the comedy that I have seen during my life, British comedy has stood out more than any other humor. This might be due to the fact that I attend a British school, and that it might be commonplace around the school. Or perhaps it might be the...

Pros: Monty Python's unique brand of humor; witty dialog; physical humor; great sets and costumes
Cons: Some viewers take offense or just don't "get" this style of humor

Well, here's a film that's already been reviewed by many reviewers, so I'll try to give this review a distinctive spin, with some particular emphasis, near the end, on the "Special Edition" DVD version. Historical Background: When Monty ...

Pros: It's Monty Python, for God's sake! It's laugh out loud, pee your pants funny.
Cons: Gets a bit bogged down in a couple of places.

Pros: Still hilarious after all these years.
Cons: Production values aren't the best.

Once upon a time, in a far more simpler era, when Kings were still kings and knights were still brave and pure and not appearing in this movie...

Wait a minute! Stop there and begin again.

Okay, to begin, I was something of a...

Pros: a completely hilarious and cheesy movie that gets funnier with every viewing
Cons: for many people, the first viewing is awful

Thank god for my older brothers. It is thanks to them that I know of the classic comedy movies of the mid to late 70s and early 80s. Slap Shot, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Caddyshack and the list goes on and on....

Pros: IT IS THE PREMIER PYTHON FILM, AND IT'S STILL FUNNY
Cons: Too bad Technolgy was less than digital quality. The absence of acting, plot and cinematography isn't a problem for me.

AS quoted from the black knight blocking Arthur's passage, after having his left arm hacked off! Whether it is the grossly visual slapstick comedy of the "swordplay", the silliness of the Knights of Camelot clopping around banging coconuts to...

Pros: My gut is busted.
Cons: You're a looney!

I’ve been trying to convince myself to enter the movie realm of Epinions for quite some time now, and finally decided to embark upon my first foray into foreign territory with a movie I’m very familiar with: Monty Python and the Holy ...

Pros: great writing and acting; fantastic DVD extras
Cons: none

I was first introduced to the world of Monty Python during the winter of 1992, shortly before Christmas. I was in 6th grade at the time, about 11 years old, and joined my dad in front of the TV on a Saturday afternoon as he watched Comedy...

Pros: Irreverent British Humor
Cons: Irreverent British Humor

So this morning I (some call me... Tim?) was lying in bed at home (the strongest castle in these islands... it's only a model... SHH!), and my wife (foul temptress, always setting alight the grail-shaped beacon)...

Pros: So funny you'll forget that you're dying of the plague.
Cons: It turned me into a newt.

Though it hardly seems necessary to defend "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" as one of the funniest films ever, it is an endeavor that I undertake with great pleasure and pride. What was that? You want me to get on with it?

Help!...
