Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

This is a cult classic, which usually means that people who grew up on it love it and people who now watch it for the first time don't get what's so great about it. With this movie I'm in the second group.. Sure, there are some hilarious moments, and sure, they mock the story of Jesus and rebel against the church. But the movie moves too slow and there were too few funny moments for me to really enjoy it. Always look on the bright side of life is brilliant though!

Today the film is rightfully regarded as a comedy classic, and one of the Python's finest works. It's *still* not a film for everybody, but does it have to be? If you're in tune with the Python's style of zany comedy, you'll enjoy "Life Of Brian."

A timeless comedic masterpiece that satirizes religion and human nature with wit and absurdity. From "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" to the infamous "Biggus Dickus" scene, this Monty Python classic never fails to entertain me.

Probably the most accurate representation ever of that time period. A genius film made by brilliant people. (all highly educated people) John Marwood Cleese I salute you!

Some quotes / scene referrals to elaborate this statement.

It was my pleasure showing this to my girlfriend for her first time. Mouse loved it. There's no humor quite like Monty Python and the surreal logic and absurd happenstance are right up my alley. The nonsense, escalating to extremes, play on words and the mishearing of them, among themes of religious More
