Brilliant -- the best of Python

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2002)

From concept to execution, this qualifies as the best of the Python films. It features a solid plot structure and many hilarious and memorable set pieces, such as The Stoning, The PFJ vs the JPF, etc, that previous comments have specified. There are still some slow spots, and a ridiculous interlude with an alien ship that almost screams that they needed to pad the movie out for length; these detract slightly from the overall product, but it's a worthy addition to your DVD or video collection.
Interestingly, John Cleese said in an interview that the other Python members all consider Meaning of Life to be the best Python picture; Cleese picks this one. I'd say that you should trust the funniest man in motion pictures on that score.
