Monty Python’s Life of Brian


Chris here. And here’s another movie I should have seen a long time ago. Well, anyway, even though most of you have probably seen it, I’ll give you a recap.

The movie starts out as Brian Cohen, is born a few doors down away from Jesus, which confuses the Three Wise Men, as they are both Jewish. Brian grows up not liking the Romans, who are occupying Judea, and he eventually joins the People’s Front of Judea, one of many splintered anti-roman groups who fight each other more than the Romans. I won’t ruin a lot of the humor for you, but I will give you my opinion of the movie.

About halfway through, the humor starts building up. At the beginning, there isn’t much funny about much of anything, which is what I didn’t like about it. It’s kind of slow. There’s a chuckle or two later, but eventually all those chuckles build up, and a single scene contains eight different things that made you laugh, so it gets good after a while. Also, there are two scenes that just made me laugh outright, simply because they’re so funny. (I’m not going to ruin it for you.)

I don’t believe in ratings, but if I did, I’d give it a 879,416,742 out of 1,000,000,000.

    So…let me get this straight… It's funny. Sort of. Then it's more funny. But it IS funny.

    I mean I guess there isn't ever much more to say about a Python flick but still. That lacked much substance.

    I second Spencer. Especially since I am not a fan of this movie to begin with.
