Absolutely hilarious!

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 1999)

"Life of Brian" is the kind of comedy that Monty Python is known for, which is taking a subject and tearing it apart by making fun of it! This time, they're making fun of the Christians(not Christianity, mind you), and reflecting how insidiously silly it is for them to mistake a simple man as the awaited messiah! It also makes way for some of Monty Python's funniest jokes which have had me laughing until it started to hurt! Although I'm amazed that they've got away with as much as they did, because after "The Last Temptation of Christ", people are ready to jump on the bandwagon of brutally attacking a film that may seem controversial in it's religious subject matter. But still, it's hard to attack this movie when it paralyzes you with laughter! It's not as funny as some of Monty Python's other movies, but this is still very funny. I couldn't believe the ending, with "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". Eric Idle really pulled out all of his gags in this picture, and I think his best scene is as the worker with the speech impediment. I thought that was one of the funniest scenes in the movie! So if you're in a bad mood and you need something to cheer you up, look on the bright side of life and watch this hilariously funny film!
