Too many dramatic scenes to be a true comedy, too many silly scenes to be a fantastic adventure drama. The funny parts are truly Pythonesque, but it would have been better to stick to one side of the medal: either comedy or drama. Besides, special effects are really bad at times. Only advisable for Python fans.

Extra minus points for the disappointment of having so many great actors and comedians and so few laughs. I barely cracked a smile, and by the end was downright irritated at this film's ineptitude.

My wife said this reminds her of Princess Bride, and from her, that's an underhanded compliment. Despite its many flaws (underusing Cleese's villain, cheesy SFX), there is still an undeniable charm here - with great moments both funny and not-so-funny. My only major qualm is Robbins doing a Graham Chapman impression throughout: no one can be Chapman except Chapman.

now you see me, now you don't!

This movie is not very funny. There are a few amusing moments but not enough to make it a good movie.

Not a must. Two or three laughs were noted.

An endearingly silly slice of Pythonesque fun that doesn't quite live up to the sum of its parts. Shame but not bad all the same

Rather blah, like all too many Python splinter projects

funny, funny, funny

A few laughs.

Classic. The bit with Terry Jones et al singing and sinking into the ocean was kinda lame, but otherwise this is a pretty funny and enjoyable fantasy.

an eyesore

It's funny and amusing.

takes all the good elements from the monty python show and puts it into a good story, and who can say no to tim robbins?

Oddbal, not quite-Monty-Python-esque humour, but the bizarre story will probably keep you watching.
