Life of Brian is the Python film for those who love their humor and beg for more...

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2004)

I think this movie is absolutely great. In fact, in the fabled Monty Python "Trilogy" (which apparently doesn't include their other films) I would say this film is better than the Meaning of Life. Sure, it is lower budget, but that's the beauty of the Python Troupe. The look of the film is not as important as the CHARACTERS. The plot is just fine too. It finds ways to very cleverly introduce all kinds of silly characters that you can quote for hours. In fact in many ways I would say it is as good as the Holy Grail as far as over-all funny characters and general bizarre scenes that happen. Of course, Holy Grail is their Masterpiece. But I would say that Life of Brian is the Python film for those who love their humor and beg for more. The opening title music is a little annoying, but Terry Jones is brilliant as Brian's mother, the political group that Brian joins (the People's Front of Judea...or is it the the Judean People's Front) is hilarious in every way. Eric Idle, as the "Front" member who wish now to be called "Loretta" and be given the right to have babies, is at his best. He also sings the Finale song "Always look on the Bright Side of Life" which is a wonderfully silly song, a Python Best!~Honestly, I could go on forever about this film! It's great, so watch it, then watch it again and you'll see why it works so well.
