Monty Python and the Holy Grail Storyline

In search of brave and faithful supporters to join the Knights of the Round Table, the legendary British leader, King Arthur of Camelot, rides around Britain’s countryside atop his noble steed. Before long, a handful of good men answer his call; however, after careful consideration, they decide to go their separate ways, only to provoke the wrath of the omnipotent being in the clouds, who commands Arthur and his followers to find the fabled Holy Grail. Now, on a mission from God himself, five men must brave taunting French soldiers; confront sexually obsessed virgins; do battle with the notorious Black Knight; face a mysterious enchanter named “Tim”, and slay a vicious furry protector. But, are King Arthur’s knights up to the task?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail Movie Reviews

The King of Comedies!

The first time I saw this was on CBS at 11:30 on a Friday night. I had seen a few Monty Python shows on PBS, so I knew who they were, and I was very interested in seeing this.

This film shows you just what all around comedy is all about.

It starts during the opening credits and ends in a way you don’t see coming. The songs are….memorable. The drawings/animation are imaginative for its time and the Monty Python troupe was at its shining best playing a host of characters from the days of King Arthur. If you don’t laugh at this today, you have no funny bone! Many other reviewers here hit this film on the nose, there isn’t much more to add to how brilliant this piece of work it.

This is one of my all time favorites and is one of the top 10 films of all time.

Another hilarious comedy from the Pythons!

After the brilliant Life of Brian, I was looking forward to watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And I loved it, I don’t think it is quite as good as Life of Brian, but it is definitely one of the better Monty Python comedies for sheer hilarity and fun. The story like Life of Brian isn’t the strongest component but this is in no way a criticism and yes the special effects are cheesy but perhaps that was the intention. My only problem with the film was that the ending is a little flat, but that is a minor criticism compared to how much I loved this film. The script is irreverent and highly quotable, and the soundtrack is even funnier. As a comedy it is wonderfully inventive, that debunks the Dark Ages and legends of chivalry through King Arthur, The Black Knight, God and the “knights who say ni”. Comedy highlights include the trial with Connie Booth’s witch and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch sequence. Even the sets are quite well designed and authentic. And the acting is simply wonderful, John Cleese, Terry Jones(the encounter with Dennis’s mother was hilarious), Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Eric Idle perfectly live up to their exceptional talents. Overall, a great comedy and a great film. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox

“Bring Up The Holy Hand Grenade”

From the time that Michael Palin comes hopping up to a castle pretending he’s on a horse with his squire clapping a pair of coconut shells together to simulate hoof-beats until at another castle with John Cleese as Sir Lancelot being showered upon with human waste product by the French garrison, Monty Python And The Holy Grail is one long laugh riot. The Monty Python troupe has won fans in every corner of the globe with their brand of nonsensical absurd type of humor, the likes of which was touched on in this country by Rowan&Martin’s Laugh In.

The troupe takes on the Arthurian legend and really all films with a medieval setting, things like Ivanhoe and Quentin Durward. Those original novels came from Sir Walter Scott and I often wonder what Scott would think of the Monty Python players taking apart the times he wrote about and certain paradigms from those times.

No use discussing a plot here, there really isn’t any. It’s just Palin gathering together some knights to help him find the Holy Grail of legend. Monty Python And The Holy Grail once seen and you will never look at an Arthurian piece again without thinking of the Python absurdities.
