Summary: My God!
Review: This is so funny.... I choked, laughed and spit the whole time. I couldn't get my breath! I laughed for days afterward and even now thinking about it, I grin widely. What a commentary on religious life! Oh, this is the first video my partner and I watched together and now we are together forever.... could happen for you too...humor is a desirable attribute.

Summary: " WELEASE BWIAN!"
Review: Brilliant humour in one of the best British comedies ever. Very witty and to some very offensive, especially to religious groups. So many funny and bizzare moments make this a timeless classic.

Summary: MY FAVORITE MESSIAH!
Review: Born the very same night asJesus,Brian has many of thesame experiences as that very famous messiah! Along the waywe find out that the peoplein the back row at the sermonof the mount misunderstoodJesus,they could't hear himvery well back there! The Greek shall inherit the earth!Oh! It's the meek,how nice,they're having a hell of a hard time,they deserve theearth,don't you think? PoorBrian doesn't want to be amessiah,but denial is a "true"sign of divinity.What chancedoes this give Brian? This isone silly movie on the surface,and the underlyingmessage is begging to beheeded!See why....The deletedscenes and home movies of the cast are indespensible Python!The extras in this package areworth far more than the fewextra bucks it costs over theordinary version of the film.

Summary: The funniest movie ever
Review: Life of Brian may well be the funniest movie I have ever seen. Whereas MP &the Holy Grail made fun of the dark ages, this movie makes fun of the Roman Empire and Jesus, and it doesn't forget anything.The Sermon on the Mount, Roman names, jewish division, crucifixion, you name it, it's in there. They make fun of absolutely everything worth making fun of. This movie'll leave you rolling on the floor laughing, and as an added bonus at then end, it has the original theatrical trailer. Buy this one.

Summary: The best of Python
Review: Oh, yes it is, the very finest thing they ever did. But you'd better come equipped with an understanding of the times and the place (and not just what you learned in Sunday School) or you'll miss half of the jokes. Elegant satirical commentary, witty, very well written, and funny funny FUNNY! I've seen it dozens of times and still find something new in it every time I watch it (like Holy Grail). Buy it, watch it over and over. If you love Python you'll love this....

Summary: A Missed Opportunity
Review: The film is an undeniable classic and the commentaries, deleted scenes and 50 minute documentary on the Criterion version are very good. However, the negative used to transfer this film to DVD is scratchy and the DVD really suffers from it. Lines (some of them really bad) are evident in most brightly lit scenes and the sky in the opening of the movie is riddled with imperfections. This is probably the best print available and Terry Jones, the Director, has approved the transfer but compared to every other DVD I've bought this one is a big visual disappointment and is certainly not 'beautiful' as Criterion would have you believe. Also, the BBC recently conducted a Monty Python night and there were interviews etc. with the Python's that could have been licensed for this disc. This certainly isn't a 'definitive' version and if you've got it on VHS then buy it for the extra's alone... a great film, but why use such a bad print?

Summary: What's so funny about The Life of Brian?
Review: What is so funny about The Life of Brian? Monty Python's The Life of Brain has added to their becoming the paradigm for comedy in both European and American theaters. For those of you who are not the quintessential Python fan, this movie is still be a must see. If you are not rolling by the time Caesar mentions the name "Biggus Dickus", just wait. You will be.
