More Info
Many people have said that Monty Python is absolute
must-see material. Well, now I watched a full
length feature. Totally absurdist humor. Lots of
funny stuff, much of it idiotic. I got many good
laughs.
In some vague way, much of it reminded me of bits from some of
the Worst Scifi Productions. (Perhaps a subconscious
influence there? To my knowledge, the Worst Scifi
writers / directors are not Monty Python fanatics, but
I could be wrong.)
Lots of funny dialog. Sometimes, it does stretch the
audience's patience, intentionally and overtly so.
("Get on with it!") I guess that's comedy.
