Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Neil Welch This is the Monty Python film which everyone forgets. And that's a shame, because this is superb. It gives us the only visual record of the full team delivering a full live performance of their classic material.And by gum they are good. Perhaps one has to single out Eric Idle as delivering the single most impressive piece of live stage-work in the seemingly never-ending monologue complaining about Brits holidaying in Spain, but all the members - including honorary Pythons Carol Cleveland and Neil Innes- are splendid.The choice of material is clearly carefully arrived at, as are the links and live staging generally. The audience is responsive (if a little over-American - not surprising, really, the clue is in the title) and the ad-libs are good.This film is invaluable, but also very very entertaining.
gridoon I consider the Pythons to be one of the best comedy groups that ever appeared on the screen, perhaps even THE best (it's either them or the Marx Brothers). If you agree even partially, you should not miss "Live at the Hollywood Bowl". Irreverence and surrealism in abundance - as you would expect from the Python guys at their best. Sure, devoted fans have probably seen many of these sketches before, but that won't stop them from enjoying them again - it certainly didn't stop the live audience at the time. There are some slow spots and the picture quality is fairly poor (as the show was videotaped and then transferred to film), but how can you say anything bad about a film that has you crying from too much laughter at least twice? ("What? Only one Christ?") (***)
chrisjgray2000 The Plot:Six men who are famous for their television sketch comedy show known as "Monty Python's Flying Circus", preform some of their favourite sketches in font of a live audience in Hollywood.Review:No doubt that fans will love this and others may get a giggle or two if they watch this, but to enjoy all of it they need to need to be either drunk, in a really laughing mood or watch it with friends who find this hilarious. ***
EmperorNortonII If you were never lucky enough to see the Monty Python's Flying Circus troupe live onstage, you must see this movie! It includes many classic sketches from their BBC series, such as "The Argument Clinic" and "The Travel Agent Sketch." Plus live renditions of such famous Python songs like "The Lumberjack Song" and "The Bruces' Philosopher Song," and sketches that weren't even on TV! And even shots of the audience will catch your eye! You'll know that Monty Python has achieved cult status when John Cleese comes out shouting "Albatross!", to have audience members reply with "What flavor is it?" The only thing better than seeing this movie, is to have seen the show live!
