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

While at the same time, an evil genius is watching them, leading them to him, luring them with the belief of an almighty powerful object that will be waiting for them at their destination. All of this is so he can get hold of the map to allow him to take over the world and change it to his evil ways. Unfortunately the DVD that I have does not have any special features; therefore I am unable to comment ... Read review

Advantages: no brainer, just pure fun
Disadvantages: none

What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow? This is just one of many life changing questions that are answered in this rediculously funny film. Does it make any sense, whatsoever? well, no, but neither does anything that the pythons have done. Written and performed by the pythons way back in 1975, this is a take on camelot, and the knights of the round table. If they need introducing, the pythons are Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry ...
...happen to be some of the funniest men ever to have graced the earth. The plot can only be described loosely, as there isn't really one. But i'll do my best. Arthur, king of the britains, is visited by god, who sends him on a quest, to find the holy grail. On the way, arthur rounds up some knights to help him. he meets up with Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure (also called "the Chaste"), and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot. ...
