Advantages: Best Monty Python film ever
Disadvantages: DVD include absolutely no extra features

This was the first Monty Python movie I ever saw, years after my dad told me about the hilarious scene involving Mr. Creosote, and it remains my favourite Monty Python film. However, the DVD is the worst Monty Python DVD I have. ~~~ The Film ~~~ This review is mainly concentrated on the DVD, but I will include this section specifically on the film. The film itself is about life, so goes through stages of life, presented in parts until the meaning ...
...It's also the last Monty Python film, which is definitely unfortunate as they were only getting better and better. I think the main reason this film is my favourite is the fact it does not stay on one person or general topic. It feels quite random as it moves through life, from birth to life in school, and onwards through things such as the 'autumn years' and finally death and a visit to the afterlife. The cast, as usual, are naturally funny, adding ... Read review

Advantages: British humour at its best
Disadvantages: none

...Meaning Of life. The Monty Python team, are up to their usual anarchic antics in this look at life from beginning to end, in a fashion that only Monty Python can. Not so much a movie as The Life of Brian, or The Holy Grail, its more of a series of hilarious sketches, portraying people in everyday life situations, from the moments of conception, (The Sacred Sperm Sketch) is on of the best of the entire film, to a final meeting with the Grim Reaper, ...
...this hilarious last full length Monty Python movie. Laughs abound from the usual team of:- John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman . All in all a real good piece of British humour at its best. Running time 86 minutes. I've only hired the DVD so this is a film only review. But a quick look on its availability over the internet, shows it is readily available from many outlets at varied prices ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing graphics, good sound and storyline
Disadvantages: None I can think of.

...drawing) of life as a bee here.I was amazed at how realistic a job they have done of creating a film about a Bee. This is a story that has never been touched before and Dreamworks have done a fantastic job in animating this film. The storyline is of a Bee who falls in love with a human after she saves him from being swatted, this sets off a chain of reaction which ends up with the main character taking the Human Race to court for stealing honey. ...
...didn't do their job. Bee Movie offers a never before seen journey into the heart of a bee hive and shows what life for a bee is like, from a cartoon angle. To be honest I'm sure its not like this, but who cares. I found this a throughly enjoyable movie and anticipate watching it again and again - this is definitely one for any film lovers' shelf. It has all the makings of a great movie good characters, great interaction, good follow through with ... Read review

Advantages: easy going humour, easy to watch, ideal for teenage girls.
Disadvantages: Quite cheesy and very predictable storyline

Ive seen this film twice now... I loved it the first time...but i found that it is a film that you will not enjoy the second time you watch it. This is a typical chick flick film, similar to other films such as 'mean girls'. It has some funny moments, but the story line is fairly predictable. I think that this film is probably suitable for young (teenage) children, but not really for anybody 18+, due to its lack of sophistication. But if you ...
...this will be ideal :) None of the characters are played by famous actors, but they still fulfill the roles well. I think that it compares well to other chick flick films like mean girls and shes the man, due to its simple humour and good (yet predictable) storyline. ... Read review

Advantages: The truly hideous Dresses Heigl wears
Disadvantages: The truly hideous storyline

I watched 27 Dresses on a rainy Monday evening. After having been out and about shopping and getting wet and miserable, I returned home, made myself a hot chocolate, got my duvet and looked forward to watching a film full of girly fun, gorgeous men and weepy storylines. How wrong I was. Like the next girl I enjoy a sappy film now and again and the box promised me that Katherine Hiegl was the new Brigett Jones. Instead the film seemed to be a mash ...
...try on all of her 27 dresses, they have a contrived 'heart to heart' he takes pics of her, they end up sleeping together and he writes a story about the 'perenial bridesmaid' so he can get a leg up in his job writing for a newspaper (How to Lose a Guy in Ten days) I could go on for hours but hey... if you wanted to be bored by a mishmash of references to other; dare i say better, girly films you'd watch 27 Dresses. Sorry Katherine! ... Read review
