Monty Python and The Holy Grail

What a movie? Wow… Believe me, this is one the best comedy movie, I have ever seen. Seemed like a low budget picture, but laughs are guaranteed for the viewers.

King Arthur mimes riding on a real horse by having his servant clap together two coconut shells to make the galloping sounds of a horse. Title, names and credits were presented innovatively. All characters were introduced in a hilarious way and their roles were clearly defined to kill viewers by laughing death. The comparison of a witch with a duck, the killer bunny with funky teeth, Black beast of Aarghh and the three headed Knight; all were crazy. One of the Knights was being tempted among a group of nymphomaniacs; Group of French guard throwing cows from the top of the fort, the “NI” knights; the guard who doesn't hiccup but tries to get the simplest of orders straight, a gatekeeper who has three questions to ask that must be answered before crossing over the deadly bridge; all these sequences were just superbly comic.Sudden death of animator because of heart attack was mirthful.

The three question gatekeeper was especially uproarious. His questions made me laugh till it actually hurt. The climax of the movie is a little let down but still fun part is intact Entire troop of king Arthur is put in the Police van for murder of a noted historian. In the middle portions of it, the movie drags a little bit. Absurd situations and arising misconceptions in almost every scene were delightful. It has definitely hit my funny bone. Bottom-line, an outrageous comedy with sidesplitting script. It’s a must watch for all comedy lovers.
