Mostly unfunny movie...

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2001)

1st watched 6/4/2001 - 3 out of 10 (Dir-Terry Jones): Mostly unfunny movie based on a child born in a manger next to Jesus called Brian. Some of Monty Python's humor comes through, but it doesn't seem to work too well in this setting. I think that if it wasn't in reference to Jesus Christ they could have made this movie funny. The movie itself does not make fun of christians or Jesus but rather things in the time like stonings, lepers, and the Romans. The funniest scene in my opinion just happens to be the last of the movie where one of the crucified breaks out into song about looking at the bright side of life. There were not enough funny scenes to recommend this movie. Their best in my opinion is still their earliest 'The Holy Grail.'
