Most helpful review Monty Python's Life Of Brian

  • He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [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.

  • FUNNIEST FILM EVER

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By RICHARD CHARMAN from KAZAKHSTAN , 13 Oct 2006
    This is one of the funniest films ever made, the jokes are still funny even when you've watched the film a dozen times, the reason being comic timing from the funniest group of people ever assembled.

    this isn't rubbish american comedy that relies on shouting or slapstick for laughs it has a mix of satire, stupidity, great characters and the plain bizarre.

    BRILLIANT.
