good, but annoying

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2006)

The film is spoilt by two major problems:
1 Terry Jones does an irritating falsetto as Brian's mother.He is also writer and director, and as usual this leads to a tendency to include dialogue and scenes which would be best left on the cutting-room floor.
2 The Monty Python regulars have several roles each, which makes the suspension of disbelief difficult.
Camera-work is unimpressive. The images are serviceable but little more, and look more like rather ordinary TV than cinema. In addition, the cast-list is woefully incomplete. Even the naked Judith (Sue Lloyd Jones) is uncredited.
