This film wasn't awful. I'll start by saying that. There was many things that this film was, but awful was not one of them. Reading that last sentence, it didn't really make sense, but you know what I mean. I'm a die-hard Monty Python fan and rabid Eric Idle lover, so I'm a bit (Ha!) biased. But really, this wasn't bad. It wasn't something that I'd expect from a great like Eric, but there's nothing wrong with making a movie solely for profit. It may have looked good on paper, but it didn't translate well to the screen. Other Monty Python and Eric Idle fans will love this for the inside jokes, but those who don't like Monty Python do yourself, and Eric, a favor and stay away. Go rent 'Life of Brian' or 'All You Need Is Cash' to see Eric at a better time. The one thing that really bothered me was John Cleese's character. It's like Eric called him up and said, "Hey John, why don't you play an evil, selfish lawyer? You know, for a change?"
