I'm planning on seeing it, but I don't know if a kid of this generation would either find this old-fashioned or actually funny?
I do things crazily. Quite Natural for me, actually.
I was a teenager when I first saw it in the late 90s and found it hilarious. It was pretty low-tech to begin with so I imagine it would age pretty well. I'd say your particular taste in comedy is what matters most when watching this movie.
shareI'm a teenage now and I just finished watching it 4 minutes ago. I enjoyed it and my 12 year old sister did too (she only watched the first half though... Cuz she's 12) but yet again I took drama so I learned about most of this stuff so I generally find it funny idk. If you understand stuff from old England (which its still funny if you don't) I would recommend watching it.
shareI say yes.

As a teenager, you may enjoy it, you may not. I know that is not helpful, but let me attempt to illustrate. I first saw it when I was perhaps 13. I remember there were some parts that I thought were funny, and some parts I thought were just boring. Give it a watch, but if you don't like it, tuck it away, and then revisit it in your early twenties or so. You may find you enjoy it a lot more. Despite being downright childish a lot of the time, it really is comedy that you enjoy more as you grow up. I think I didn't like it much at 13 because I simply didn't get it. I couldn't see or grasp the comic brilliance of it. Perhaps I simply wasn't ready.
If you don't like it at first, don't give up on it. It may take a few viewings to really 'get' it, but once you do, you may become a huge fan, as I did.
For example, the scene near the beginning about the 'anarcho-syndicalist commune'. I just had no idea what the heck they were talking about, so I completely dismissed that scene when I first saw it. Once I grew up, and learned more about the world, I understood that scene more, and now it is my favorite scene. Cracks me up royally even though I've seen it about a thousand times. Too funny!
On the other hand....John Cleese as 'The Taunting Frenchman' is hilarious at any age.
On the third hand......er.....whatever.....it simply is not for everyone. You may not enjoy it now, or ever. Python fans will not understand you, and will dismiss you as some sort of lunatic. But that's okay too. You can dismiss them just as easily.
As a youngish lad, I enjoyed the Pythons' daring use of potty language & choice use of nudity.
Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?
If you're a fan of Monty Python, you will most certainly enjoy it. But then again, you might not. At the end of the day, it all just boils down to taste. Even I, was huge huge huge Python geek, would rather watch The Meaning of Life or Life of Brian than this.
shareI was about 10 or so when I first saw it in the early 2000s. I found it hilarious. The Holy Grail was a very heavily quoted film in my high school. It depends on their specific taste but Monty Python fandom seems to be pretty multi-generational.
