If you are, like I am, one of the many Python freaks, then you have to agree that Eric Idle is an amazing comedic genius. However, he seems to have fallen in this. I've read enough of Eric's material to know that he is capable of great things and this, unfortunatly, is not one of them. The plot is clever, the characters are (for the most part) sympathetic and original, but there is a lot missing here. If you are like me and would sit through anything to catch a glimpse of Eric Idle's bum, then this is great. If you have no previous Python knowlege then you may want to skip over it. The idea may have looked great on paper, but sorry Eric honey, it doesn't carry itself well on-screen.

Most British comedies can only be enjoyed after being drunk on Port. This one is hilarious. Many of the greatest comedy one-liners of all time is in this movie. Renting it, or better yet BUYING it, is a must.

Of the many poor films I've sat through because Barbara Hershey was in them, this is among the lamest and most forgettable. (Props to Ms. H. for having the good humor to tweak her outgrown hippie persona.) Unless you're as fond of that actress as I am, are curious to see what the pre-fame Zeta Jones was like, or a foamingly rabid Python fan, there is nothing here for you. Move on.

You may not fall down on the floor laughing at this movie, but you undoubtly will have a smile on your face the whole time. Idle is a stock broker (or something financial like that, the exact job is sort of skipped over...)who was raised by a family of Hindus, and then finds he was adopted by them and he is the rightful heir to the dukedom belonging to his friend and boss Rick Moranis...The beautiful Barbara Hershey (a blonde here) is Idle's real mother, the even more beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones is Moranis fiancee, (and Idle's one night stand..)in one of her early appearances... and John Cleese is the shifty lawyer who decides to help Idle regain his rightful heritage by killing everyone who stands in the way...(but why does the movie,in the opening credits say "introducing John Cleese"?) Fans of the Monty Python comedy troupe will enjoy it of course, but so will those of us who aren't major fans of theirs... As I said, not a hilarous movie, but one worth watching ....

Eric Idle is the total god!I feel a radiance in his everlasting light.John Cleese was a surprise and was very good as Shadgrind. I myself am a TOTAL MONTY PYTHON LOONEY!I love this movie,espically w/ Eric as the main charcter.mmmmmmmmmmm...gotta love him!
