I'm Closing. ;)

Jabberwocky

Odd mix of Terry Gilliam's visual style with a Holy Grail-esque film. That said, this is a little gem of a movie that, even though it doesn't always work quite well, is always entertaining to watch. Michael Palin is very likeable as always. Despite a low budget, the film features a very well-realized Dark Ages setting. The gags are really quite funny for the most part too and actually feature into a cohesive narrative as opposed to the skits being more important.

The DVD is very murky looking and has unnecessary sound remixes though.

3 balls out of 4 potatoes.
