 A Christian Perspective February 25, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
** Disclaimer: The reason I have chosen to review this item from the perspective of my Christian faith is to provide other Christians some information or food for thought concerning this item. It is not my intention to convince non-Christians that they should convert, nor is it my intention to convince other Christians that they must agree with my opinions. What follows is simply my view of this item through the lens of my understanding of the Christian faith, so I trust that none will be offended by points-of-view I express with which they disagree. Peace.br /br /This movie is really a parody of two things. First, it is a parody of the Middle Ages in England. Second, it is a parody of our modern presuppositions of that time. It is because the door of parody swings both ways in this film that it is able to be so incredibly funny. Parody is funny because there is an element of truth involved. Here, there are two truths, thus the film is twice as funny: there is the truth concerning the Middle Ages, and there's the truth concerning our impressions of the Middle Ages. By cracking fun at both of these sources of truth, the Monty Python comedy group was able to produce solid parody that is smart, witty, and and in some ways convicting. Overall, the film is very enjoyable and fun to watch and re-watch.br /br /As a Christian, however, I have a couple of minor reservations about watching this film. First, though by no means comparable to much of the filth that comes out of Hollywood these days, this movies has a fair share of foul language. Some of the worst incidents of foul language are likely to go unnoticed because of the accent/language barrier and the manner of production. For example, at one point the film cuts quickly to a character from a previous scene who says that at least his scene didn't involve a litany of a certain category of sex jokes. Here, this character uses a less than appropriate word which is not even appropriate for me to repeat. However, it goes by so fast that I didn't even notice it until the third or fourth time I watched the movie.br /br /Most of the foul language used is less overtly offensive, and especially because much of this language seems to be well established within the English-comedy tradition it is almost fair to say that it's an essential part of making a funny parody of this sort. Needless to say, if you are uncomfortable with some incidents of foul language, or if you simply don't think such usage is funny, this movie probably is not for you. This movie also contains one scene with a significant amount of sexual innuendo and here there is even a reference to oral sex. However, insofar as this scene does not contain any overtly sexual content of a graphic nature, I think it is not so bad as to require Christians to avoid watching the movie altogether.br /br /I give this movie five stars because it is very funny and smart. It is an example of a type of humor that is hard to come by these days. However, I would hesitate to give this movie to anyone younger than 18 or so; I know that when I watched this movie for the first time when I was 15 I did not have the spiritual maturity to discriminate between the quality parody and the few incidents of inappropriate tastelessness. Other than that, this movie is a classic, and I hope you enjoy it!

After seeing the Broadway musical, I revisited this movie. It is comic perfection Monte Python style. You can watch this one again and again. With all of the lines committed to memory, we continue to watch, and we still love it!
 Five Star Movie January 2, 2008
This movie is terrific in every way. It is truly a timeless comedy that can make me laugh 25 years after having first seen it. I do with though they they would remaster the movie and give a better looking film to show. This looks like a vhs version copied to dvd. I purchased this movie after going to see Spamalot on Broadway. Spamalot is worth a trip into New York City, the funniest Broadway shows I have ever seen. I didn't even realize that I didn't have a copy until I came home to look for it. They have put out several editions at various prices depending on how many extras you really want. I stuck with this version since it has plenty of bonus materials. This is truly a comedy classic.
Laugh till your barf up your spleen December 31, 2007
The Legendary Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It deserves the praise it gets, anyone who says it's stupid needs to let a little hot air out of their heads. Honestly, with out a doubt, this is THE FUNNIEST film I have ever seen, no doubt, the funniest. Why you ask? Well, it is filled to the brim with original and blatantly hysterical humor, that renders the viewer senseless with it's awesome hystericalness. These people aren't afraid to use odd and at times, dumb humor to get their laughs, they don't wimp out, they take all they have and launch it at you, one by one, until the movie abruptly ends. At this point, you need to sit in one position for an hour, calm down, and reflect on what they just saw.br /br /For anybody who likes good jokes of all kinds, this is for you, if you think this kind of humor is worthless, throw yourself down a well, for humanity's sake.
Got to love it December 8, 2007
You must first be a lover of British humor to really enjoy this movie. Don't try this unless you know what you like. Completely hilarious movie and a cult classic.
