Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different (PG, 1971)
common sense media says
Best of Monty Python sketches in one neat package.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this movie is a collection of irreverent comedy sketches performed by British comedy troupe Monty Python. Sex and sexual identities are often major components in the sketches -- a marriage counselor hitting on a wife seeking help, a cross-dressing lumberjack, a milkman greeted at the door by a woman in a negligee. However, there's no nudity (aside from a cartoon depiction of a Venus statue) or graphic depiction of sex. Violence is repeatedly used for comic effect, and no real consequences are ever shown -- nor would they mean much in the context of a comedy sketch. Drinking of alcohol is a minor component of a few sketches, and the language is quite mild.
Violence:
Long-distance shootings and explosions, comic physical attacks.
Sex:
Non-graphic, but features heavy petting, flashing, seduction, and veiled discussions of sex.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Drinking

Great movie, but might be embarassing to watch with others.
This is hilarious and genious.
The way they tie the skits together into one long movie.
I love it.

A bunch of the best sketches from the first two seasons of "Flying Circus" tied together into a movie. The re-filmed sketches usually aren't as good as the studio versions (with a few exceptions, like "Dirty Fork"), but it's a very funny film nonetheless. 13+

This one is to be watched over and over (and over) again. I give it a "pause" on 13 mainly because there are extremely negative messages in this film--the major one being Monty Python's classic surreal humor, or the use of violence (sometimes comic, other times not so much) to provoke massive laughs. But this is, in fact, the best movie I have ever seen, and the funniest.
My rating: PG-13 for frequent surreal humor involving some comic violence and related themes, animated partial nudity, some innuendo and a few uses of brief language.
