 Hands down, CLASSIC. May 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest, most entertaining DVDs in the world. If you want to laugh nonstop for over an hour, this is the way to go. It also is a great gift for anyone's movie collection. No collection is complete without a little Monty Python!
Lilarious, gut bustingly funny May 18, 2008

This movie will leave you crying from laughter, from scene one to the very end. Pay attention especilly to the part where King Arthur explains how he bacame king. IT is so FUNNY!!! Great movie for the family, a bit nonsense violence for children, but just a great movie all around.
 5 for the film, 2 for the packaging...anyone else have this problem? April 30, 2008
Greetings! I've always loved this film since childhood, but I had a real problem with the packaging. Disc One was loose in the box, with no way to secure it, but Disc Two was secured with a central hub that I absolutely could not remove the disc from to save my life. The wheels on my car are not held as securely, and I was very concerned about breaking the disc in my attempts. I even made a futile attempt to bang it with a coconut, to no avail. I finally ended up sacrificing the "collector value" of the packaging and quite literally destroying the central hub with an X-Acto knife and a drill burr to remove the disc without destroying it. Knowing Python, I could almost see this as some part of a larger joke, but not quite. Did anyone else have this problem, or did I just purchase an unusually tenacious box, or am I just a clod?br /Thanks!br /
Absurdist Comedy... Yes, Please! April 28, 2008
Monty Python and the Holy Grail begins with a series of gags involving mock-Swedish subtitles and of all things moose and llamas. After some of the strangest credits ever, the first scene opens on an epic shot of the mist-shrouded moors of Britain. Two men come galloping heroically into view. What's odd is that neither of them are on horses, in fact one is simply banging together two halves of coconut shells to simulate hoof beats. Thus hilarity ensues.br /br /I won't go into great detail about the plot (ha-ha!) or the innumerous zany characters other than to say it's absolutely irreverent and mad (something that seems common with the Pythons). The story includes a ghastly cartoon monster, a three-headed knight, an effeminate prince who just longs to sing, and perhaps the most lethal rabbit ever put on film. br /br /But what makes the film so bloody funny is the complete lack of respect that it shows to Arthurian legend and medieval folklore. Both Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (the directors and co-stars) are quite familiar with medieval history and delight in lampooning it at every turn. The dialogue is perfectly ridiculous and that's precisely what makes it so entertaining. Even the ending is intentionally anti-climactic.br /But if you want unrestrained British comedy then check out this classic or, "I'll wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of secondhand, electric donkey bottom biters!"br /Oh, and don't forget your coconuts.br /br /Also recommended:br /The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: 16 Ton Megasetbr /The Personal Best of Monty Python's Flying Circusbr /Monty Python Holy Trinitybr /Monty Python and the Holy Grail Extraordinarily Deluxe Editionbr /Monty Python's Life of Brianbr /Monty Python's The Meaning of Lifebr /Jabberwockybr /Time Banditsbr /A Fish Called Wandabr /The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Monty Python and the Holy Grail April 20, 2008
The first ten minutes or so of this movie are hilarious. What follows is then a hit or miss attempt to sustain the comic element first demonstrated. The scene at the wedding and the stupid romantic son hits the mark, as does the scene at the French castle, but the other scenes at the convent and the modern historian seem to fall a bit short.br /br /Overall, though, this is perhaps the Python troupe's best effort. The writing is fresh and lives up to what Monty Python was doing on television (to a degree), and the end result is something you will want to watch again and again, but put a few months in between viewings.
