There is no way I can compare the Goons to Python, never having seen the Goons, but, Monty Phython and the Holy Grail is still one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. And, if you dont like it...NEE. Of course that bit about a dead mother could be traumatic for one who just lost his mother, but, time equals comedy. As the saying goes..Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? Enough time has passed for that to be funny.
