Audience Member Legendary comedy troupe Monty Python's debut theatrical release essentially is an anthology film comprising tens of recreated sketches originally from the first two seasons of their TV show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus", plus a few exclusive transitions (animated or not). A lot of the sketches are among their best, although some weaker material is also present. In any case, the group's hilarious, anarchic, out-there originality and Terry Gilliam's brilliant animation are properly showcased.

It's a bit of a mixed bag as many of the skits have aged nicely and still pack a comedic punch (The Dead Parrot, The Dirty Fork, etc…), while others are probably not worthy of making the compilation (Pearl Harbor, Seduced Milkman, etc…) and tend to drag things down. In addition, the animation feels excessive at times and, other than providing a transition break between segments, doesn't really serve much of a purpose.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't you think this has become rather silly? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review camille l Les Monty Python ont réussi à contrecarrer le problème des films à sketches inégaux dans la mesure où les segments ne durent jamais beaucoup plus qu'une poignée de minutes. De ce fait, en un peu plus de 90 minutes, ce sont plus de 40 sketches qui se succèdent, parfois avec des liaisons très intéressantes. Quand l'un n'est pas très drôle, il est succédé par 3 ou 4 élements beaucoup plus réussis, souvent animés. Le montage du film est d'ailleurs particulièrement réfléchi. And Now For Something Completely Different est un film très drôle seulement composé de 7 à 8 acteurs qui parviennent à créer des personnages en parfois moins de 10 secondes et une formidable carte de visite pour des comiques britanniques voulant percer aux Etats-Unis. Un modèle du genre. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
