Wasn't Spamalot basically just Monty Python and the Holy Grail but with some songs added? That's... already a movie.

They were both based on movies with a strong cult following, made money for the studio, and didn't cost a lot of money to produce. The fact that they weren't comedy classics isn't Paramount's concern. They need a movie that makes some money, which is something they haven't been able to do very often lately. |

Yeah, I see your guy's point. I'm down for more Monty Python.
