The legendary troupe performs in the legendary venue. It's got many of their best skits including excerpts from their TV show. Their fans are having loads of fun and enjoying the "Atmosphere". This was my first exposure to Monty Python back in the day. The best was that this was all new to me. I didn't see the TV show. This is laugh after laugh after laugh which the TV show is not always. The TV show is hit and miss like a modern day SNL but edgier. It's also obvious that the performers are having fun like Cleese going into the crowd selling Albatross and telling the crowd that they can't smoke that. It's got great energy and endless fun. I recently watched it again on Netflix and it holds up. Other than a few deliberate racist jokes, it's as good as ever. As an adult, I get fresh eyes to see some of the jokes. Quite frankly, I'd show this first to any newbie Python virgins.

This is a film that is best viewed by long-time Monty Python fans. Those unacquainted with the comedy troop may find the whole experience too weird or confusing. However, for those who loved the show, this should be a wonderful and engaging film--sort of like seeing old friends. All of the skits performed for the film are done live at the Hollywood Bowl. Many will be familiar, as they are new versions of many of their most famous TV skits. A few are newer ones. Most succeed quite well, though a few might be a tad put off by the vomit in the "crunchy frog" skit--I personally thought this actually improved it over the original TV version.While not as funny as THE HOLY GRAIL or AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, this one is still a keeper and is sure to make you chuckle.

Well, you cant call this a movie. A show isn't a movie. But any normal person who likes to laugh must love this! When I first saw it, I laughed till' I choked. I mean, how can anything in comedy be better than the killing combination of John Cleese, Michael Palin and, probably the best of them, Eric Idle. All of the sketches would definitely been in a "Top 100 Best Comedy Scenes Ever" and I admire the actors to remember everything they're supposed to say, for example when Idle are going to a travel agency as Mr Smokestoomuch. If you see this scene, you are lucky if you not laugh yourself to death. It is almost unavoidable. But there are other great moments. In fact, practically everything in this "movie" would belong in a list like the Top 100 I mentioned before. You cant possibly have a favorite. It is impossible to select a favorite in this. Everything is excellent. How do you get such ideas as these?

Most of the sketches and skits are adapted from ones shown on the TV show; there's little that's new, which is mildly disappointing. Good thing, then, that the MP troupe is so adept; familiarity seems to be the point, and allows fans to sit back and enjoy the film.A few parts drag- I wasn't too thrilled with the musical numbers, nor with the History of Slapstick.The most disappointing thing about this movie is a problem only for those who watch it on laserdisc; there are no chapter breaks, and side one ends abruptly -IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCENE-! This is quite disconcerting, and ruins the sketch.
