It was SO good returning to this classic comedy! This was made 4 years before I was born (i.e. 1975) and it still holds it's weight in coconuts as one of the funniest movies ever made. Sure there's the slapstick humour part of it but the writing is just well...'Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person'...'nuff said. What I really enjoy about this movie is that I can watch it again and again without ever worrying about getting bored. There are some people who are not fans of the monty python type comedy, but rest assured ye naysayers, this is a film that will leave you gagging with laughter and trying to remember if the french guard really did say 'I fart in your general direction' or not and if the airspeed velocity of an unladen African swallow is quicker than a European's...So if you haven't watched this yet, watch it, and if you have watched this before...watch it again. I think I'll watch it again tonight...
