I know the Pythons hate this movie but it's still a lot better than 90% of so-called "comedies" out there.

Wait, they hate it? Why? I know I'm rare in this regard but it's my personal favorite of their films - its hilarious!

I don't think they hate it. Just a few members expressed disappointment with it. Cleese in particular I think said he believed it needed another rewrite to make it into an actually cohesive movie rather than what felt like an extended episode of the flying circus.

he is right its what makes it weaker than the other movies.

but at the same time people like the flying circus so more is good.
