While maybe not as ingenious as "Holy Grail" and definitely nowhere near the masterpiece "Life of Brian", the Pythons last movie is still a very good comedy to watch. However, this certain brand of humor may be appealing only to fans of the Python's TV work, as it has more of those early roots than of their past film adventures. 8/10. An acquired taste indeed.

Doesn't hold up as well as some of Monty Python's other work, but there's enough classic moments in here to make it worthwhile watching.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
