Monty Python's Personal Best Audience Reviews

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
benjamin_lappin And alas that is perhaps the only thing wrong with this compilation box set detailing the favourite sketches of Britains, and quite possibly the worlds, funniest comedic troupe. It carries an enormous host of the Pythons greatest sketches, but the famous sketches, the ultra-famous sketches i.e. The Dead Parrot Sketch and The Spanish Inquisition segments are not there in their entirety, so when someone asks to see one of these specific moments, it's incredibly infuriating, simply because they are incredibly funny.Inside is a six disc collection, one per Python, in which the five remaining Pythons provide comedic introductions to what may ostensibly be a way of getting as many sketches as possible into a collection, but indeed are their personal favourites (hence no "Ministry Of Silly Walk Sketch (again not one in its complete entirety) on John Cleese's disc). The sixth is a wonderfully compiled edition featuring little stories from the five about the deceased Graham Chapman coming across as a truly heart felt tribute.A couple of the sketches find themselves repeated on multiple discs, such as "The Fish Slapping Dance", even though it's worth it in all it's silly glory, and there's no room for "How Not To Be Seen" which is disappointing to say the least. The Terry Gilliam disc is a highly interesting feature, comprised of his cartoon sketches. It works as a concept but an episode wouldn't flow entirely made of them, still as with all things Python, they're often funnier and sillier and just more entertaining than they are not. The greatest thing that can be said about this boxset is that it's Monty Python, a group of comedic geniuses that all but the most abstinent look up to, admire and indeed follow, and one that few match. A few sketches shown from the Hollywood Bowl also remind us all that these men managed to transcend that most difficult of boundaries in the Atlantic and not only break through there but be as comedically revered there as they are in this country. It has a wide range of sketches, ones that you may not have seen and some you may have even forgotten, but they all tickle the funny bone in one way or another, through either their randomness, their silliness or their unabashed brilliance. Nobody expected a comedy troupe to be this funny!
alonzobalexander A fine piece of work this Monty Python sketch show was! I enjoyed reminiscing with the boys, even if each piece was only an hour long. They probably could have stretched it out for two hours apiece. The way each Python approached their episode differently was especially interesting. I loved John Cleese's the most. Having himself be a senile old man married to a young, beautiful, exotic woman--who hates his guts--was great. Mention the girl, I'd never seen her before, and through a little internet searching I've found the girl who played John Cleese's wife Suki on his episode of Personal Best is actually a track star at UC Santa Barbara(where they filmed it) named Gilleon Smith. She does 100 meter, long jump, and triple jump! She's only a sophomore, and she's beautiful! You can tell she's athletic. I hope she decides to find more acting jobs in the future! Until then, I guess I'll have to keep watching John Cleese's Personal Best.
