"Monty Python and the Holy Grail", one of my favorite films, is not relatively new. In fact, this movie was released in 1975. Even though this movie is 35 years old, this is still an amazing movie, and the fact that this is a movie made by the minds behind "Monty Python's Flying Circus" makes it even better. If you have no clue what Monty Python is, I suggest Googling it.
Synopsis - Set in the times of old, King Arthur (Graham Chapman), Sir Bedivere (Terry Jones), Sir Lancelot (John Cleese), Sir Robin (Eric Idle) and Sir Galahad (Michael Palin) are instructed by God to seek the Holy Grail. But, if you know anything about the British comedy troupe "Monty Python" you know that they are rather silly. Some of the oddest thing appear in the movie, such as Inappropriate French Knights, the Knights Who Say Ni, the Killer Rabbit, the Trojan Rabbit, Tim the Enchanter, and finally, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Again, for the full synopsis, go to Wikipedia.
Key Points - This one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Not a lot of people would understand this, but you must know their previous material to fully understand this zany adventure. This is also British comedy, so another confusing element to it is that the Brits know so much about humor that we North Americans don't completely understand. But that's what makes it so brilliant! And when it comes to British comedy, Monty Python does an amazing job at all of this silliness. It is an amazing adventure for anyone over the age of 13. Even though there are some kid friendly elements in it, there is a scene that is quite inappropriate.
Final Verdict - I give "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" 4.75 stars out of 5. Even though this is a movie that will span generations, there are confusing bits to it. Other than that, it's a good film overall. This is a Recommended Film
