I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I bought this recently on VHS at a Half-Price bookstore and, man, does it really blow you away with it's insane humor. It is so hilarious and truly creative all at the same time. The title basically speaks for itself. John Cleese hosts and appears in the sketches along with regular Python members Chapman, Palin and his wife/co-star Connie Booth. I've seen it at least three time and now want to see it again sometime next month.The only reason I give it eight out of ten stars is because it does go over a little too long, but that's forgivable due to it's overall excellent comedic value.

Maybe this will be funny if you've been in a coma since Johnson was in the White House. The skits drag on and on and on ad nauseam with little or no punch line. If you're into historical references, then watching this will give you an idea of what some of the Python troop were like before they were funny. If you're really into Python, and the casts' individual projects, treat this as if you are watching a learning exercise that helped them learn from their mistakes. This will however leave you wondering if some of the cast members haven't make pacts with the devil, they don't seem to have aged all that much since this dog was made.

Many people may be disappointed with the material on the program because it is not typical Python. People need to take into account that this is before the incorporation of Idle, Jones and Gilliam. Also, it is a precursor for what was eventually to become one of the funniest sketch comedy shows ever broadcast.

Its funny but nowhere near as close to the genius of the Monty Python sketches. If you're a Monty Python fan like myself whos watched every episode about 12000 times, you won't be doing any harm in checking this out.
