FETCHEZ LA VACHE!!!

On Saturday, my sister and I watched Monty Python's SPAMALOT, a musical comedy which was "lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

A bit of the storyline before I move on:

"...Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and (flatulent) french (soldiers).... Monty Python's SPAMALOT raises "siliness to an art form" (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed as "a-no-holds-barredsmash hit" (The New Yorker)...."

Truth to be told, I was initially sceptical about this musical, even more so after I rented the original Monty Python's "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" (1975) and "painfully" viewed its first half. Sure, the characters were hilarious in their own accord, but the plot build-up was too....silly for a film.

[Note to self: Then again, Monty Python is all about being silly now, isn't it? :P]

So there I was, reeling from the "shock" of it all, thinking "Will it be worth going to the theatre to WATCH THIS???"

My verdict after watching the musical?

*drumrolls*

I became an instant convert. :P

The plot is still as silly (and yes, it IS a rip-off from the Monty Python original, as advertised). On broadway, however, there are a few "extras" which by far surpasses the movie:
