      Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) This new installment is based on a vague and easy sense of humor and trite jokes. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Probably the best greatest-hits collection of Python routines. Rated: A Jul 18, 2008 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Monty Python Live At the Hollywood Bowl displays this zany British comedy team's daffy humor to good effect.

      Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Good comedy concert film with a selection of classic Flying Circus sketches from the Monty Python troupe. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/21 Full Review Audience Member A lot of the material is rehashed from the 1970's, but it's an interesting enough live performance of it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Monty Python's Greatest Bits! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Highlights include albatross and the argument sketches. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
