Diagonaldi Very well executed

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Fuzzbomb Here's an oddity - made the year before Python with most of the cast and the assorted Goodie. Truth be told it's not all that funny, and features an extremely offensive scene with Palin as an Indian waiter, but there are moments of interest, such as seeing an extended range of Cleese's acting abilities, the extremely funny airline sketch, and noting how Connie Booth hardly aged between this and Fawlty Towers...

Floydiac Many people may be disappointed with the material on the program because it is not typical Python. People need to take into account that this is before the incorporation of Idle, Jones and Gilliam. Also, it is a precursor for what was eventually to become one of the funniest sketch comedy shows ever broadcast.

DrQuuxum The show as a whole fell kind of flat. The acting seems a bit uninspired at times, and there isn't that Python-ish chemistry that later appeared.However, two sketches do stand out; the "Airline Pilots" sketch, where Chapman, Cleese, and Palin take turns abusing their passengers; the other being the "Management Training Course Interview" where Cleese gets Brooke-Taylor to perform some humiliating stunts.

dbennett79 This is really the Python's First Film, although it's missing a few of the real Pythonites (namely, the cartoon guy.) Many of the sketches in this are reminiscent to sketches from the TV series, including my favorite, which I call the dead car sketch: a man comes into an auto repair shop, insisting that his car has trouble. The proprietor insists that there's "never no trouble with those." The car's owner goes on to prove that the car has trouble, but the shop's owner just wants to go to lunch. Sound familiar? It reminded me of the famous "Dead Parrot" sketch. My other favorite from this show was the "Airline Pilots" sketch, about what really goes on in the cockpit during a flight. ("The wings are not on fire.") and ("The skrill must be released!") A must-view for any Monty Python fan or budding irritator. Believe it or not, I came away with some knowledge on how to deal with bullies. First, react in certain organized ways... (OOOH! Ahh. Well, I never! >smack smack smack<)
