This film compiles some of the best-loved skits from the early seasons of the British sketch comedy show "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Expect a fast-paced, absurd, and often surreal stream of humor that delights in wordplay, visual gags, and breaking conventional storytelling. It's a wild, irreverent ride that will keep you guessing.

Reviewer notes

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers
I probably expected too much from this. The theater advertised a showing of Holy Grail, so I went in with the usual expectations of rolling in the aisles with laughter, but this showed instead. It was fairly funny, but I don't think they did their best material for the most part, in this movie. Still, it had some laughs.
