Good review in a few words. This follows the format and is almost as funny as the movie. Maybe this should have been written on the movie poster. The picture is fitting, of course.

Hello my friend

Nice entry for the
5-7-5 Movie Review writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. You summarized the movie pretty well. Good job.

Hi!
Thanks for heading off the inevitable syllable count question before anyone else can ask about it.
So--meets all requirements? Check.
Summarizes the movie? Check.
Five stars? Check.

Thanks for your review. After consideration it was confirmed offending word is 3 syllables

Comment from Y. M. Roger

Good

Every site I use says that Messiah is three syllables... you would be best to eliminate the word 'the' just before it as the committee will call you on it. :) :) A great one for the movie - who doesn't like Monty Python! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

Thanks for your review. Just wondering what site you were looking at, all the ones I looked said messiah is 2. To me it sounds like 3

and if you simply ask Google, you'll get 3.

...and a very naughty boy he was indeed.
I can't five-star this as your second line is 8 syllables and as a 5/7/5 has very few rules when and if you break one it counts.
Let me know as and if you correct this and I will revise the review.
This, of course, presupposes that the Good Citizens of Salem who frequent this board do not get to you first and lynch you...
cheers

Thanks for your review. I agree with you that messiah is three syllables however a number of syllable sites count it as two.

You dare not six star me. JEHOVAH!!! ;)

reply by phill doran on 09-Jun-2020

...maybe just add a note that you are counting it as two - that normally preempts infidels like me and leaves me no choice but to uplift my rating or to throw myself off a cliff, of a camel, or off a camel named cliff

I love that movie. Your poem brought back many memories of watching it as a kid. You captured it well. Thanks for sharing this and have a really great day

It is a clear and right review of the film in a 5-7-5 Movie Review about Brian, not the Messiah, who was born next to Jesus. Good luck for the contest. ALCREATOR

Always time to learn something new! I never saw this film of Monty Python, so, reading that the Messiah was a guy named Brian is new to me. I wonder if this is common knowledge to others.

Thanks for your review. Do yourself a favour and get hold of this Python classic.

Welcome, and yes, I will see I get the Monty Python. Thanks.
