Monty Python and the Holy Grail -The Holy Grail of comedy

If you’re a fan of ‘Python’ you’ll love this (in fact… you’ll probably already have watched and enjoyed it).  If you don’t like Python, but consider yourself to be a generally humorous person then you should watch it, too.  Only people with absolutely no sense of humour should steer clear of this.

It (loosely) follows Graham Chapman as King Arthur as he’s charged (by none other than God himself) with his holy task of locating the Holy Grail.  To help him he’s aided in typical style by the rest of the Pythons, cunningly disguised as various Knights (not to mention practically everyone else they meet).

And it’s funny.  That’s the bottom line.  I know it does look a little on the cheap side (the film was partially-funded by the band Pink Floyd if you’re interested).  But don’t let the cheapness of the production put you off.  I find that it’s part of its charm.  In fact, seeing blatantly false limbs severed in ridiculous amounts of fake blood.  

Yes, it’s kind of ‘off-the-wall’ humour that you should already know comes with the Pythons.  If you haven’t seen it and like comedy, do give it a watch.  It’s probably also good to watch with friends.  Seriously… they don’t make ‘em like they used to.  Awesome.  Ni.
