Wonderful compilation of MP sketches, great viewing, don't make the mistake of thinking this is typical English humor, because it isn't, it's something completely different.
Adds a bit of nostalgia to me these days, I think it's great to see the men in their early days. When the vpro started broadcasting the series in the seventies, it was disgraceful by the local community, for us as teenagers that was of course a sign to watch.
Some scenes now belong to cultural heritage, Silly walks stands out in my opinion and only John Cleese could immortalize this sketch with his long lanky body.
In my opinion every movie buff should have seen a Monthy Python movie.

Good film consisting of a compilation of the best sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus, but given a new look. To be honest, the added value of this escapes me a bit, but it's still a laugh. Often dry, sometimes bland, but always funny and original sketches that alternate smoothly and where the transitions are often well made up. Easily 3.5 stars.

A compilation of Monty Python sketches is of course always fun to watch, but I've seen most of them before, so the surprise effect is a lot less. Despite that, I still enjoyed it.
