Review of Yellowbeard (1983) by Grant S — 17 Oct 2009
OK, but disappointing. If you look at the comedic talent on show: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Marty Feldman, Peter Cook, Cheech & Chong and Spike Milligan plus a great actor, full stop, in James Mason, and consider that this was written by Graham Chapman and Peter Cook, it should be so much better.
Has some good laughs, but the humour is often weak, especially towards the end, as if they ran out of ideas. There are glimpses of the Monty Python clever wackiness that you would think Graham Chapman would bring to the script, but a Monty Python movie this is not.
