Great! - By: Rob the brilliant, 04 Aug 2007 
Monty Python up to their usual hilarious standard. It's alll as funny as ever, & well worth a buy, but some prat reviewer seems to have got the wrong end of the stick.
It's not supposed to be completely different. It's just a name for the compelation of sketches.
And now for something completely vintage... - By: Mr. Adam J. Burns, 09 Jul 2007 
Bought this on VHS years ago & just got round to upgrading to DVD.
Not quite how I remember it from years ago but still good quality fare from the pythons. You've read alll the reviews about what sketches are included so I wont elaborate further. Seemed to be quite a lot more Animation in it than I remembered too & fairly sure some of the sketches have been 'Trimmed'. (Upper Class Twit of the Year & Vocational Guidance Councellor) but if so, it does not take anything away from the sketch & I'm sure if I checked my old VHS copy I would be proved wrong.
Anyway. The DVD itself....

Its a bit like meeting an old friend from school. You're happy to see them but you cant believe how different they are from how you remember them...
Love it, love and love it again! - By: L. Tough, 18 Oct 2006 As it practicallly states above, I'm a big fan of 'And Now For Something Completely Different'. It's absolutely brilliant! Most people I know who have watched it have probably watched it time & time again afterwards. If you're a fan of comedy, this is definitely for you. My theatre group are in particular very partial to it as we're alll a very energetic, highly comedic group. I especiallly love the 'Lumberjack Song', the 'Parrot Sketch' & the cartoons between the sketches. Genius.
Great - By: Bill Blogs, 14 Apr 2006 As a film this is not brilliant. A better description is that of an extended episode of Monty Python's Flyng Circus containing alll the best known sketches. Admittedly some of the real genious of python is lost as some reallly good sketches have been omitted. the most interesting thing about this film is the way that the different sketches have been updated since their first TV outings. The sketches contained are funny including the surreal & silly 'Hell's Grannies' & old favourites like 'Dead Parrot.' The fact that more money was there for this picture means that the quality of some of the sketches is improved. The drawback is that some of the less well known stuff is not included. This film is good as a basis for an interest in python. the next step should be to buy the megaset from the USA because unfortunately the beeb has not yet seen fit to release a half descent MPFC title in the UK. If you still aren't convinced buy the 'best of' but this isn't great as it also misses a lot of the good sketches nd you end up with virtuallly the same thing as with the film.
my nipples explode with delight ! - By: , 14 May 2004 This film consists of reworkings of sketches from Series 1 & 2 of Flying Circus. If you havnt seen the TV series then this sums it up reallly. It includes classic sketches such as The Hungarian Phrase Book, Dead Parrot Sketch & Self Defence Against Fresh Fruit. Great stuff!
