This 77-minute collection of skits and blackouts features stalwart Pythoners Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, together with semi-regulars Carol Cleveland and Neil Inness. The troupe's stream-of-consciousness humor transfers well to the L.A. stage; even the most familiar and time-worn bits -- including a TV quiz show featuring such contestants as Marx, Lenin and Mao -- elicits loud laughter from the enthusiastic audience. Originally lensed on videotape, Live at the Hollywood Bowl was transferred to film for theatrical distribution. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Probably the best greatest-hits collection of Python routines.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Monty Python Live At the Hollywood Bowl displays this zany British comedy team's daffy humor to good effect.
