Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Has been so quoted and requoted that the scenes and words feel tattooed onto the psychic membrane. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Still stands as a gloriously silly and twisted send-up. full review

    Oh, the Black Knight. And the poor minstrels (And there was much rejoicing.. Yaayy!)...
    And then all the great Frenchman lines. :D
    And of course, "Run away!!"
    What a great movie. I bash people whenever they say they haven't seen it.

    This has got to be one of the greatest films of all time. I'm always quoting something from it. ANY fan of British humour, or comedy in general, MUST see it at least once!

    Taunting Frenchmen....... Constitutional peasants..... closeted maidens who like being spanked......... and of course, The Knights Who Say Ni.

    This film has hilarity and it has it in spades. Inspired lunacy in the best British tradition for inspired stupidity.

    Even the opening credits get you giggling like a naughty schoolboy.... They start off being subtitled in faux Swedish, go from there to a description of how the title writer's sister carved her initials on the back of a moose, and somehow morph into Reg Llama of Brixton and 57 Mexican Whooping Llamas.... Only the Pythons could do it.

    I saw this movie when it was first released. I must have seen it a hundred times since, and I still find new things to laugh at that I didn't notice before.

    So remember, be careful if you ever visit Camelot. It is a silly place.
