Harious Movie
Added 10/26/2009
I've always thought this was a funny movie. Much better than Holy Grail and Life of Brian. Even on top of the comedy, there's a thought provoking story line!

My favorite Monty Python movie
Added 7/4/2009
I grew up watching this movie and it's made me the twisted person I am today. Even as a small child I adored this movie, I didn't understand what was happening but it was pretty damn funny. A sing along about the value of sperm and a closer look at what fish in a tank talk about! Brilliant. This movie is not for the religious or the uptight. And you people know who you are. Just walk away, you'll thank me later. But those of you who have a wicked imagination and that twisted sense of humor (like myself) I know you'll find something in this film that will make you laugh out loud.

Monty Python's 3rd best film badly needs restoration
Added 5/16/2009
This film is a series of shorts that are big budget as far as Monty Python standards go. The first sketch about a group of old accountants staging an office mutiny and turning their building into a pirate ship pretty much falls flat, but the remaining sketches are hilarious.
Unfortunately, the quality of the print this was remastered from is in horrible shape. There are scratches and dirt throughout the film. Hopefully, they'll do a restoration on this sometime soon.

Gaston, the French Waiter
Added 5/13/2009
An irony is that while the Catholic family is having tons of unprotected sex and hence hundreds of children, the Protestant couple across the street are permitted contraception but have only had sex twice. The second irony is pivotal: Gaston, the French waiter, leads the camera and us down the sidewalks to his birthplace, some nondescript cottage. I'm confabulating a bit when I quote: "You see that? That is the place where I was born. My mother picked me up and said, 'Gaston, the world is a _beautiful_ place. You must go out into it and try to make everyone around you happy.' That is why I am a waiter." Then Gaston (Eric Idle) casts his eyes down; looks up and says, "Well, it is not _much_ of a philosophy... F--k you!" He stalks off, throws the towel over his shoulder down, and repeats, "F--k off!" But, believe it or not, I think that is probably the closest to the meaning of life that the movie comes to. That is, not the irony that Gaston doesn't adhere to the principle, but the principle he proclaims. It's a simple utilitarian philosophy which it doesn't take an intellectual giant to comprehend. I didn't read the other reviews, so I hope I'm not repeating anyone else.
