Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) 08/27/2019
This new installment is based on a vague and easy sense of humor and trite jokes. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

CodyZamboni Z Feb 22 Python troupe does a few of their famous routines - silly walks, lumberjack song, etc, And some new ones, Mixed in with live stage stuff are film clips, animation, and lots of crowd shots, I like that they take their skits into the audience, Overall, most of it is funny, Some skits bomb, the piano idiot song shouldve been cut, Movie looks cheap as it was shot on video and transferred to film. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 20 Isso não é um filme, é um show ao vivo do monty pynthon que de várias skets de humor, poucas engraçadas, a maioria sem graça, na época pode ser engraçado, mas hoje em dia para o pessoal mais novo de joje não deve engraçado. See more 01/23/2022 Highlight film of the sketch comedy of Monty Python's Flying Circus live at the Hollywood Bowl. I felt it was too quick paced and choppy for any of the jokes to land firmly and it didn't get many laughs from me as a result. Last 20 minutes were the best part. I guess you had to be there. See more 02/06/2021 Good comedy concert film with a selection of classic Flying Circus sketches from the Monty Python troupe. See more 08/07/2016 A lot of the material is rehashed from the 1970's, but it's an interesting enough live performance of it. See more 10/16/2015 Monty python doesn't translate to the live stage well, that is the conclusion that can be drawn here. A very direct comparison can be made between this movie and now for something completely different because almost all of the set pieces from now for something completely different are performed in Hollywood bowl live, but not to great success.
