You have to like Monty Python's higher brow comedy, and John Cleese's type of humour especially, to like this movie. Compared to the other films by Python, this one is heavy on talk and verbal satire, less so on visual humour. They skewer the hypothetical life and times of Jerusalem and the Jews during the period of the New Testament, make the Romans look like very reasonable autocratic rulers, and everyone else look like ungrateful subjects that didn't know how good they had it - all for fun of course. This is not a satire on religion, but more a satire on religious politics, follies and those that perpetrate or believe in them. The movie shouldn't offend anyone today - all faiths can watch this and say "We're not like that anymore" (or are we?). And the final crucifixion scene (Brian's, not Jesus') is probably their funniest ending ever for a movie.Read full review
Laughs all the way through the movie. I'd be lying if I didn't say I got the movie, because I wanted the last scene. This is with the song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".......its wonderful with what's going on at the time. I shall not tell you....Believe me its very funny. Thanks again to Monty Python's crew of regulars!
A Classic! Very funny! I've seen it a few times and each time I see something I didn't before. The actors are great, men playing women playing men, hahaa... Monte Python humor. Love it!
A MONTY PYTHON MOVIE SAYS IT ALL. THE COMEDY THAT COMES FROM THE BRITISH GROUP IS A MAIN STAY OF COMEDY. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO IT'S FUNNY. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THE MOVIES BY THEM YOU NEED TO HAVE ALL.
