Gadzooks! These be terrible times in the kingdom of Bruno the Questionable! At the darkest hour of the Dark Ages (hey, who turned off the lights?), the dreaded Jabberwock roams the land. His eyes aflame, his talons bared a bone-crushing horror! Which brave knight shall slay the beast and save the kingdom? Who shall win the hand of the fair princess? Could it be Dennis the Apprentice (Michael Palin), a mere dolt and silly fool who carries a potato and loves the fat Griselda? Shall he save the kingdom? Or will he be smitten with chamberpots and made to eat rats on a stick? Arrrgh!

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

The predominant humor of this film is scatological as if the filthiness of bodily functions were inexhaustibly entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

The result is decidedly hit-and-miss.

Gilliam, who also wrote the screenplay with Charles Alverson, adds the absurd touches that make every moment a crazy surprise.

Christian Science Monitor

David Sterritt

Apart from some isolated funny one-liners, Jabberwocky accomplished nothing more than make me wish for a return engagement of the far more clever Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

A prologue to the brilliance of what was to come from Terry Gilliam, Jabberwocky is at its best an exciting experiment from the auteur in tone and form.
