He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
By Flaninacupboard from Northamptonshire , 17 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
There's no two ways to say this. Rent this film now, and when it lands on your doormat take the day off work, invite round anyone you can persuade, crack open a case of your favourite drink and put it on.
The jokes in this film are timeless, from the schoolboy smirking over the name of a great Roman "Biggus Dickus" to the ludicrous situation of a centurion correcting anti-Roman slang (Latin is, afterall, hard to get right). Without touching too much on the well documented blasphemy in the film, it’s perhaps not one for firm believers in the guy upstairs, unless you find it easy to laugh at yourself as well. For the rest of us however, the rapid and shambolic formation of the strange religious groups surrounding Brian are awfully amusing, as is the unforgettable ending, featuring a rendition of the song “Always look on the bright side of death.”
It’s classic Python gone ‘big’ budget, a piece of English heritage that should be treasured and passed onto to the younger generation, and it’s damn funny to boot.- Was this review helpful to you?

(183)Best film the Pythons weleased
By Jason-illybobs (2 reviews) , 03 May 2013The funniest film that's ever been made, and also one of the most quotable. The Pythons are at the top of their game here - some of the set pieces and schoolboy humour had me crying with laughter: The juniper bush, the latin grafitti, biggus dickus, welease woger....- Was this review helpful to you?

Always look on the bright side of life!
By FullofStars (41 reviews) from Scotland , 14 Apr 2013Seen this film several times and it always makes me laugh. Yes, it is looking a wee bit dated and some of the humour is a bit tired too, but this is a classic modern British comedy taking swipes at everything in reach including Christianity. However, the Christian Right have missed the point with this film and if they bothered to watch it they would see that it is actually making a valid point about the risk of unquestioning faith and cultism.- Was this review helpful to you?

"Great" 20 years ago, but just......
By a customer , 10 Nov 2012.... 'good' now.
Decided to watch this again having not seen it for 4-5 years. One of my favourite funny films of all time but, if I am honest, it is starting to age now.- Was this review helpful to you?

Stwike Him, Centuwion..... Stwike Him Vewy Wuffly!
By a customer , 23 Apr 2012Whenever I see this film, it always takes me back to 1979.
Crowds queued for over an hour down the Street and round the block, just to get into the pictures to see this 'controversial, disgusting and blasphemous film' made by the Monty Python team.
Anyone who watched it in those days couldn't understand what all the fuss was about and I for one still can't.
'The Life Of Brian' is as funny today, as it ever was.- Was this review helpful to you?
