The first -- and probably not the last -- Hollywood kids' movie that not only typically insults the intelligence of its audience, but actively insults the gullibility of the parents for paying to see this crap. I wouldn't have imagined it, but it's even worse than "The Grinch".

If this is the best the collective creative genius of the movie industry can do, then a few of Emmerich's giant tornadoes would be much welcome. Please, please stop making movies of Dr. Seuss.

Everyone, please just buy the book instead. Your kids will thank me.

I managed to catch this movie on cable yesterday afternoon. Yeah, sure, it stinks, but it was made in 1973, so whaddaya want?

I would not be surprised, however, if this movie was the inspiration for many of the scenes in Monty Python's Holy Grail. There are many small similarities, and while watching this movie you can just hear the Python troupe's twisted gears turning in their heads.

"wouldn't it be funnier if Sir Gawain was wandering in a forest and then came across a castle of virgins...?"

This is a movie that has moments, both good and bad -- about equal numbers of both. If you're the kind of person who really really enjoys stupid, low-level satire, then this is a match made in heaven. If you appreciate snickering at stupidity every once in a while, then catch this movie when it comes on cable. Otherwise, don't worry -- you're not missing much.
