Seeing a live concert from the Monty Python troupe, in the form it's here presented, is a grand mix for fans of best-of bits and newer ones, with many an oddity laced in between and in surprising crevices of sketches.... Full review
I consider the Pythons to be one of the best comedy groups that ever appeared on the screen, perhaps even THE best (it's either them or the Marx Brothers). If you agree even partially, you should not miss "Live at... Full review
First of all; it's just amazing seeing the legendary Pythons performing the most popular sketches live, in front of a huge audience, similar to a music concert. The crowd is so into it, they seem to know the lines by... Full review

If you were never lucky enough to see the Monty Python's Flying Circus troupe live onstage, you must see this movie! It includes many classic sketches from their BBC series, such as "The Argument Clinic" and "The Travel Agent Sketch."... Full review

Okay, this is great. Monty Python - live, in front of a huge audiens - gives this movie a good sense of atmosphere (all the happy people you see that is so happy you would think they'd die of it)... Full review

Raucous, on-stage fun

It's great to see that Python was an funny onstage as on TV. Here, the troupe successfully stages a live medley of some of their funnier skits. Interesting enough, British TV executives never thought Americans would find Monty Python funny,... Full review
Laserdisc is disappointing, movie itself good.

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... Full review
Surprisingly good for a filmed stage show

Many of my favourites were here (including the classic travel agent sketch: "Kellogg's Bornflakes"). But many of my favourites were also in And Now For Something Completely Different, and I didn't really like that. Something about the live atmosphere made... Full review

The documentary isn´t quite as compelling as "Before Monty Python" but it´s still worthwhile. From childhood to the Cambridge Footlights to the "David Frost Report" this 55-minute documentary (shot in black-and-white) is a fine extra that will be of great interest to Python fans. ... Full Review

And lo, it came to pass that Monty Python's Flying Circus reached the age of forty years. And verily it was decided by the surviving members of the Python Team (his holiness John Cleese excepted) to give thanks and praise... ... Full Article

Morning, y'all. Mary here, reporting for main recapping duties, and happy to be reminded in the brief recap at the beginning of the "Top Chef" episode that Melissa and Eugene are long gone. ... Full Article

You'd have thought "the pretty little LA suburb of Hollywood" would be the least suitable place for the posho prog-rockers of mirth and their punchline-less lunacy. ... Full Article

The event was shot on video and then transferred to film, and it looks it; the direction is sometimes spotty, and longtime Python associate Neil Innes sings two highly expendable songs (with Carol Cleveland doing some manic, unfunny dancing during... ... Full Article
