User reviews

Substance: A mindlessly profane and occasionally funny send-up of the medieval-lore-as-movie schtick.
Style: Idiosyncratic, to say the least.

Bits of Arthurian legend, kind of, not really.

One of my favorite things about this movie is it's not just a Monty Python movie - it's also a Terry Gilliam movie. It actually looks better than serious period films.
