November 16, 2011Full on Python brilliance without the restraint of scripts or plot. Full review later.

June 15, 2011And Now For Something Completely different is a compilation from the Monty Python team comprised of some of the funniest moments from their early work and as such doesn't really feel like a "movie". But the sketches are genuine classics as Python pretty much invented the non sequ... read more

February 10, 2011Produced in 1971 on a shoestring budget with the aim of breaking the Python team in the States (which eventually happened when the TV series began running on PBS), this film consists of classic moments from the first two series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, lovingly reprised, ... read more

July 12, 2010Classic skits, including The Dead Parrot, Joke Warfare and Upper Class Twit of the Year. Python fans will be in virtual heaven (the rest of you will incur hemorrhages and gout).

February 6, 2010Of course this movies good, it's Monty Python. A collection of sketches presented with a linear quality that they can only achieve. A classic film that contains a ton of sketches that most of you nerds out there can recite by heart. There's not much more you can say about this on... read more

Love Monty Python. Contains every classic sketch from the first two series of the show and just brilliant to watch. Difficult to write a review on so I recomend to watch the show when you can.. -
September 18, 2009Considering it's just a re-hash of all the best sketches from the TV series, Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different is really good and certainly stands alone as a very capable film.
-
October 13, 2007Effectively captures the spirit of the TV series with a selection of classic sketches cleverly linked with Gilliam's innovative animations.

May 14, 2007OK, but these skits from the TV series don't seem to be as funny this time around. It's like they are too rehearsed, or maybe I just know them too well. Still, any Python is better than no Python.

A kind of insane logic seems to connect the sketches, if you look hard enough, but mostly the movie seems to exist in the present and be willing to try anything for a laugh. Full Review

Essential viewing for fans of Monty Python and British comedy, this film consists of some wonderful sketches, even though Terry Gilliam doesn't appear in them. Full Review

Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
A collection of deliberately unlinked comedy sketches and animated filler, the film is a workable sampler of the group's humor.

Although the cast is brilliant and the material generally funny, the film fails to take advantage of the big-screen format. Full Review

However, by refilming the sketches for a cinematic format, with new editing, camerawork, close-ups ... yet without the give-and-take energy of a live studio audience, what on TV was seat-of-the-pants ... Full Review

Old-school fans will dig it, and Python newcomers will see what all the fuss is about. Full Review

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Como toda antologia, tem momentos mais e menos inspirados, mas, de modo geral, impressiona por sua inventividade.
