Funniest Movie Ever!!!!
This is outright hilarious. I was laughing so hard I was in tears even during the opening credits (Which included funny stuff). This is also a good movie for kids because is is one of the only Monty Python movies rated PG. This is very well done and is my favorite movie I ever saw. I can recomend this to anyone looking for a good laugh.

Everyone who sees this becomes a Monty Python fan.
I can't give this movie enough praise. Don't just rent it; buy it.

More like funniest movie ever
Okay, maybe not THE funniest, but it's Monty Python's best, and Life of Brian aint too shabby (nor the Meaning of Life, but it's the weakest). This movie is one of the most quotable in history, with quotes you probably know even if you haven't seen the movie.
The movie starts out with King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his loyal servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) galloping...wait, is Patsy clapping two coconuts together to symbolize a horse running? Wacky! Then they encounter a man above in a castle who won't let them past because he doesn't understand where they got the coconuts. Then a man collecting bodies (Eric Idle) during the Black Plague is swindled by another man (John Cleese) to kill a perfectly healthy old man because he'll be dead soon anyway. Need I go on? Okay, Arthur bickers with a 37-year-old beggar named Dennis, who he mistakes for a beggar woman, and he encounters the Black Knight (Cleese again), who even with no legs and arms, never gives up ("I'll bite your legs off!"). Arthur recruits Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones, also directing), who is in a heated argument about whether or not a woman (Connie Booth) is a witch and suggests weighing her against a duck (don't ask).
Think I've given away most of the movie? That's just the first 15 minutes. I haven't gotten to the tale of Sir Lancelot (hey, Cleese!), which has a wedding day massacre; Sir Robin (Idle), accompanied by his singing minstrels, who flees ("I didn't!") from a three-headed bickering giant; Sir Galahad (Michael Palin), who is gallantly rescued by Lancelot from a castle full of hot virgins ("I bet you're gay!"); the Bridge of Death; the evil bunny; Tim the Enchanter (by Jove, John Cleese); the French knight (guess who); the Trojan Rabbit; the-
Whuh? Oh, this isn't a review, huh? Well, basically, if you don't own this movie, you hate laughing. No, I'm serious. DUN DUN, DUN DA DUN DUN DUN DUN- Sorry, I get carried away, sorry!

very tame compared to python's other work
For those of you who have never seen anything monty python please read this review. Monty Python is not actually a person. Monty python is in fact a group of five british guys and one american guy who have made the funniest things to ever appear in cinema. Python uses a style of humor that is so bizarre and so random it makes you crack up even when a joke is not funny. Oh yeah folks don't think that you 7 year olds can see this just because it's PG. This film was made in 1975 the same year as jaws. Jaws is also rated PG. Now if you have seen Jaws(who hasn't?) then you realize it is an extremely gorey film with quite a bit of swearing. So holy grail has about 10 swear words one scene with quite a few sexual references(the castle anthrax scene) and of course is pretty gorey(to me it looks pretty lame but I'm twelve so I don't know if a 7 year old would be scared of it or not. So given a choice I would have reraten python PG-13. For a quick plot it is the story of king arthur during his famous quest to find the holy grail however it is not like most tellings of the story because arthur runs into many stupid people along the way and arthur never seems to get the grail. Oh by the way I plan to get this collection for christmas. I can't wait to read the script!!!
