The hilarious story of Brian, born in the stable next door to Jesus.

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2006)

I love 'The Life of Brian'! Probably the most coherent of all the Python films, the film centres upon the unfortunate Brian, born in the stable next door to Jesus, who is burdened with a ridiculous mother ("he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"), an large nose and a crowd of people who believe is the Messiah. One of my favourite films of all time because it contains side splitting scenes such as the Pontius Pilot scene in which Pilot discusses his friend Bigus Diccus and his wife Incontinentia Buttocks. This humour is not sophisticated, but schoolboy humour is exactly what's expected of Monty Python isn't it? I originally saw it because I heard it had been controversial with the Christian right, this is the same reason I watched Jerry Springer the opera and read the Da Vinci code, and I can easily see why. Some of the scenes could cause offence but they aren't meant to and they are extremely funny. This film is absolutely unmissable and you'll find yourself quoting it all the time, so... are you the Judean people's front? F**k off! We're the people's front of Judea! Always look on the bright side of life everyone!!
