Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Expected more
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
An exquisitely joyful romp down memory lane for the wrinkled old Pythons as they come together for one last hurrah at London's O2 Arena. This is a cross between a historical documentary, with interviews and archive footage, and a behind-the scenes documentary about the making of the O2 show. It gives a good insight into the men behind the myth, and celebrates the highs and lows of an extraordinary four-decade parnership. It left me wanting more. Delightful, funny, and moving.
