  • Still funny

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    OK, so the Pythons are all grey now and doing TV commercials that they shouldn't, but this is probably the best introduction to Python you can get.

    I showed my girlfriend this as a first taste of Python (she grew up on Mars ...) and we were both in stitches -- so many funny parts to this I won't even try to pick a favourite -- actually, I will, the 'Bring out your dead' bit is hilarious.

    Bit of a weak ending though, just like this review...

    BETTER THAN LIFE OF BRIAN, VERY DIFFERENT BUT REALLY FUNNY, THE RABBIT IS THE BEST BIT OF THE FILM ALONG WITH RIDING AROUND ON A HORSE THATS NOT A HORSE....JUST VERY RANDOM!

    It's years since I saw this at the pictures - as a teenager I laughed out loud all the way through!

    As a 50 year old, I did just the same...

    It's all the better watching it on blu-ray, than seeing it the countless times it has been on the telly. The detail is really involving.

    So, this is still a very silly film, let down by the poor ending. The Life of Brian was much better, but I feel they were similarly lost on how to wrap up all those brilliant visual gags.

    as can be expected from Monty Python this is completely crackers but oh so funny, and has lines in that I know your going to repeat later 'I want you to chop down this tree using a herring'.

    very good stuff

    OK so this is my first review, and I see it as a not close to worthy tribute to this film which was my introduction to Monty Python. Watching this film with my dad as a 12 year old there were bits that I found hilarious. Watching it over the years there is not one scene where I haven't at some point needed to swallow the drink in my mouth for fear of spitting it over my friends head. The opening credits give a clue of whats to come, unashamed hilarity. Watching it now as a 24 year old I am amazed at how this film still has me in stitches 12 years after my first viewing. Whether it is a first watch, or a one hundreth this film is typical python: comical, random, imaginitive and most of all utterly hilarious.
