There is no way to describe MONTY PYTHONS flavor of comedy. The dry wit of the British is at its best AND craziest. I think that what has made them a comedy phenomenonis the subtle, straight faced craziness! I've owned this movie on VHS until it wore out, or got away from me (for some reason people would never return them) at least a half dozen times. And now I can start wearing out the DVD! I am replacing all of them. Yellowbeard, The Meaning of LiFE, Life of Bryan...all of them. If you've not ever experienced MP, your in for a real treat!
