5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic British Comedy!!Great Props!!, November 21, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great McGonagall [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The late great Peter Sellers portrays a humble scottsman determined to become Britians poet laureate.His dual role of the oversexed Queen Victoria adds to this very funny, off the wall film which makes british comedy so unique.Monty Python fans will love this little known gem!!

4.0 out of 5 stars McGonagall Spiked, September 18, 2006
This review is from: The Great McGonagall (DVD)
The joke is that William McGonagall, famous still today for being the world's worst poet, was actually a not unsuccessful comedian. His humour was peculiarly Scottish, and might best be described as pawky. Instead of rotting away as an unemployed weaver, he made a decent living as a rotten versifier --- and declamatory tragedian. People flocked to hear his recitals because they were so famous for being so awful, and McGonagall cried his way to the bank. The real joke was on those who didn't get the joke. The same applies to this film. In one sense it's abysmal, but that's the point. Most of Spike's work is like this. At the same time he was the author of what the London Times recently called the funniest joke ever written. Still, I can't quite give this supremely barmy performance 5 stars.
