Monty Python's Life of Brian

Pros: Monty Python strikes again!

Cons: no cons whatsoever

The Bottom Line: err it's Monty Python... and that is truelly the bottom line.

Review: I feel the need to explain just who Monty Python is...they are a British comedy troupe consisting of the likes of such brilliance as Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Graham "Ex-doc" Chapman, Eric Idle, and Terry Jones. Their hit comedy...

Pros: belly laughs AND dry wit in one package

Cons: only 93 minutes long

The Bottom Line: These Python guys are pretty funny, after all.

Review: I have always had a weakness for irreverent humor. There is something especially sweet about peeving off the sanctimonious and self-righteous. It always struck me that humor should have an edge. Political correctness has never been a friend of ...

Pros: This is one of the funniest films of all-time!

Cons: Read above.

The Bottom Line: Read above.

Review: For the last few years, I have grown to become a very big fan of Monty Python. The Holy Grail...

Pros: Multilayered humor; well-aimed barbed satire; charming performances; great sets

Cons: Much of this humor will be lost on or offensive to devoutly religious folks

The Bottom Line: A weally wemarkable weminder to wiotous weligious satiwe.

Review: First, a DISCLAIMER from Pontius Pilate: Last night, I dweamed thwee fwightening weels of Woger Wabbit. I weally wequire that weaders of this weview wealize that it welates to the "Life of Bwian" wather than my dweam of the unwuly wabbit. ...

Pros: Priceless comedy, brilliant performances

Cons: Blinkered reactionary backlash against a great film

The Bottom Line: A brilliant, brilliant British comedy.

Review: British comedy is, of course, the best in the world. And Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the surreal brainchild of a bunch of Oxbridge graduates, is frequently hailed as its finest hour. And then, in more than one interview, John Cleese says that Life ...

Pros: Cleese, Palin and all the people in between

Cons: I really can't think of any

Review: This has to go on record as the Classic Monty Python spoof. Made in 1979, on the cusp of the big Biblical epics, this movie was banned in many places, and shunned by many. It is timeless. Thinking this film to be blasphemy is ludicrous. As the cast and...

Pros: May be the funniest movie ever made

Cons: Not to be taken seriously

Review: Having seen Monty Python's Life of Brian, I now realize that there is a lot of information the bible fails to divulge. For example did you know that the three wise men showed up at the wrong stable on the night of Jesus's birth? Yes that's...

Pros: extremely funny, great performances

Cons: some may find offensive or blasphemous

Review: The Life Of Brian... where do I start? This outrageously hilarious british comedy from the extremely talented Monty Python crew is unmissable. The humour is pathetic and yet will have you in hysterics at parts.

Now that the Monty Python...

Pros: Hilarious and brilliant!

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: One of the most hilarious and satirically blasphemous Monty Python films of all!

Review: Monty Python wintered a storm of controversy back in 1979 with the release of “Life of Brian”. The “moral majority” saw to it that it was banned from being shown in the USA because it was so “blasphemous”. How funny they should interpret comedy,...

Pros: Very clever and original. Enjoyable throughout. A classic piece of comedy

Cons: Not for your devout grandmother

Review: Many years ago now, I was a wee snip of a lad marveling at my family's very first VHS video recorder. My father had purchased it that very day and had also joined one of those new video library things and hired two movies! The Life of...
