Just as wacky and imaginative as their earlier film outings.

Time Out

Python successfully lampoon religious attitudes rather than religion itself.

The New York Times

Bad taste of this order is rare but not yet dead.

A beautiful film, a perfect comedy, and a gentle triumph of silliness over pomposity, self-importance, and intolerance.
