    I'm sure I'm about to make a lot of enemies here, but I just didn't find this film all that funny. Sure it had its moments -- the stoning scene, the crucifixion scene where everyone is whistling while Eric Idle sings "Always Look on the Bright Side". But I don't think it lives up...( read more) to Python's reputation. Maybe the problem for me is the whole premise of the story. Satirizing something that seems so ridiculous to begin with seems redundant, and a bit dated to be honest. Many MANY efforts, both fictional and non-fiction, have been made since Life of Brian was released to show how stupid (and sometimes dangerous) it is to follow someone based on scant evidence of their credentials. Maybe if I had seen this years ago when I wasn't so jaded, I may have found it funnier. But now all I can say is "good try."

    I love this film so much, it's absolutely hilarious. Best not watch it with a bible basher though, as I mistakenly have done in the past. It can get very awkward!

    The best film of the ineffable Monty Python troupe. It does for religion what Dr. Strangelove did for politics.

    An apostasy of biblical proportions.

    THIS is on the IMDb Top 250 list?! If I offend anyone, excuse me. But I thought most of - no, scrap that - all of the jokes were so bad I actually wanted to cry. Even John Cleese, who, we all agree, can be a comedic genius, has nothing witty to say. I feel sorry for the guy that ...( read more)was cast in the pitiful role of Brian's mother. You poor sod.

    Each joke (or attempt at one) is repeated about four times. There's only so many times 'People's Front of Judea' (or Judean People's Front; whatever) or 'Biggus Dickus' can be funny (none, in my case). I like my satire subtle, not thrown into my face.

    As much as I try, there is absolutely nothing good to say. The longest 90 minutes of my life. I wonder why I sat through all of them? The world is a funny place.

    A sta...( read more)r moves and three wise men approach a village. They come bearing gifts for the one who will become the future Messiah. If only there were numbers on the stables that way the wise men wouldn't have entered the wrong one. Instead of Jesus, they meet baby Brian. Born a Jew and later discovered in adulthood to be a Roman instead. His mother was, at first, raped by a Roman and I assume wanted it to continue. The Roman was Naughtius Maximus not Biggus Dickus or Pontius Pilate.



    Judith is apart of the Peoples Front of Judea and Brian loves her and hates the Roman's even though he is one. So he decides to join. Their plans to kidnap Pilate's wife turns out to be a failure when another group with the same plan wants to kidnap her as well. Both groups fight and Brian is the last man standing, captured and brought to Pontius Pilate.



    When the guards are stuck laughing at Pilate's speech impediment, Brian escapes. He hides alongside a group of crap prophets and tries to dispense his own prophecy which gets a lot of attention. The people begin to look to him and decide that he's the messiah. Even Judith is willing to sleep with him on account of this revelation which really baffles Brian.



    When Brian is captured by the Roman's he's scheduled to be crucified. Hung up on the cross, along with many other basterds, he and everybody break out into a song to lift their spirits up. You can always look at the bright side of life because just think they might've been stoned to death and that's just wrong. Being crucified though is much better because you're out in the open air with other people. You can even get a tan and catch up on your times tables. 2x2=4, 2x3=6....

    The funniest film ever....period. The Python team poke fun at religion and it's hilarious. Cracking comedy lines including "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy".
