7/10
Always look on the bright side of laughter.

There's pretty much something for everyone of an adult age in this British comedy that was released for American audiences says to get a glimpse at the best of Monty Python and his Flying Circus. The newly-made footage acknowledges the silliness of many of the Skechers, but lovingly acknowledges that's what the Monty Python crew is best at. It's a combination of verbal and physical comedy, often draw and yet filled with references that the American audiences will easily get. then there's the newly films animated sequences in between the live-action sketches, and they are among the best part of the film, often naughty yet never crude. some of the visuals are slightly gruesome, but nothing that you wouldn't stay in the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show.

Among my favorite sketches here are the gang of old ladies who act like hoodlums, a gay army troop performing a campy drill, the lumberjack song, and a meadow filled with scantily clad women which ends with a funny twiet. In fact, one of the sexier scenes was completely ripped off in the first "Naked Gun" film. John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones show their boundless energy in their wacky characterization that are boundless. I just 90 minutes, just doesn't overstay it's welcome, making it a point and showing the best of the best.
