Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

preppy-3 A recording of the infamous British group Monty Python performing at the Hollywood Bowl back in (I believe) 1981. For fans of the TV show this will be great. They redo all more famous bits from the show. Obviously the audience was full of fans judging from the thunderous applause that greeted the mare familiar ones. The movie starts right off with four of the guys singing "Sit On My..." and keeps going full blast. The best bits were the pope arguing with Michangelo about the painting of "The Last Supper"; Ministry of Silly Walks; two gay judges; the World Forum; crunchy frog; "nudge nudge wink wink"; buying an argument and the Lumberjack Song. Also during the church police sketch you see most of the cast cracking up and trying to cover it up. Unfortunately there are bad sketches like a man wrestling with himself; the "Urban Spaceman" song and the International Philosophy Game. Still the good outnumbers the bad. Don't miss the beginning when they poke fun at 20th Century Fox and MGM logos. Fans will love this. Others might not. I give it an 8.

sales-282 The unfunniest so called comedy I've ever seenNot a patch on the naturalism of the hilariously dark Twin Town or most dark American comedies. The best comedy is anti-establishment anyway which Python certainly are not.Vegas I ;like normally but this script is so dire so predictable so well English in the worst way (In recent years the English films have been awful all of them) Ireland at least produced the commitments, Scotland with Braveheart and Trainspotting 2 stand out great movies and Wales had Twin Town, Zulu, Last Days of Dolwyn , Torchwood, Doctor Who and Under Milk Wood etcThe comedy is paint by numbers, the actors are dead men walking because there is no characterization and no originality and it's just soooo unfunnyEngland is falling behind no matter how many grim up north movies they produce. It's the old class system that destroys English films. The Oxbridge graduates spewing endlessly clichéd scripts about working class people they've never lived with. It is pathetic. Monty Python wasn't funny, neither was anything from Oxbridge. it's just not funny.Let guys like Jonny Vegas and Peter Kay, Rob Brydon, Billy Connolly or write their own dialogue and forget the archaic failed class system let the working class people and the real talent that comes through the system properly take over the writing and the British and English film industries will rise again what next prince Edward to write a modern day Oliver Twist?

sschwart It's great to see that Python was an funny onstage as on TV. Here, the troupe successfully stages a live medley of some of their funnier skits. Interesting enough, British TV executives never thought Americans would find Monty Python funny, but American audiences (especially college students) became huge fans. The level of fanaticism is evident in the way that this audience is as familiar with the sketches as the members of Python are, and applaud raucously as soon as some of the opening lines are heard. As a treat, rent this along with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Experienced Python fans can progress right into "Life of Brian" and "Meaning of Life."

niz Many of my favourites were here (including the classic travel agent sketch: "Kellogg's Bornflakes"). But many of my favourites were also in And Now For Something Completely Different, and I didn't really like that. Something about the live atmosphere made this work, the fits of giggles adding to the occasion, not detracting from it. Best of all was the brand new stuff - the Silly Olympics, the History of Slapstick etc. I wish I was there.
