Usually when you review any kind of media—be it movie, TV show, novel, or video game—you’ve got to give some sense of the plot and yes, I’ll do that here, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is an interesting case because the plot makes about as much sense as a coconut-laden swallow.
The late Graham Chapman plays King Arthur, while future Oscar-nominated filmmaker Terry Gilliam plays his faithful coconut-slapping Patsy (no one rides horses in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they bang coconuts). The pair are visited by God, who sets them on the quest to find the Holy Grail.
Arthur is soon joined by such legendary figures as Sir Lancelot (John Cleese), Sir Robin (Eric Idle), Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones), Sir Galahad (Michael Palin), and of course Sir Not Appearing In This Film.
