Review – Life of Brian

Though a lot of Monty Python fans prefer The Holy Grail, this one’s my personal favorite. It might be a name thing, or it might be that I admire the amount of chutzpah it takes to parody the gospels. But on the other hand, it might be my favorite just because it’s an exceptionally funny movie. The stoning sequence is at least semi-legendary. Anyone who’s ever dealt with academics and/or revolutionary wannabes should get a solid kick out of any of the scenes involving the People’s Front of Judea. And of course if you ever had to take Latin (and even if you didn’t) you should get a chuckle out of the graffiti sequence. Then there’s the closing musical number. And then there’s … well, you get the point. It’s the usual collection of Python skit comedy centered around a send-up of the life of Christ. Buy the disc
