lucyJul 1, 2012I think I'm going to change my name to Incontinentia Buttocks. One of the funniest films ever made.

My dad didn't laugh once. Not once. This distresses me. A lot. An hour and a half of Python and not a single grin, snigger, giggle etc. I don't even know who I'm living with anymore.

7.3 - It’s not as funny or even as easy to follow as Holy Grail but it’s still absurd, slapsticky, & quotable. Sets are very well done & the premise is genius even if it didn’t cross over with biblical storylines as often as I expected or hoped.
Hasvik is "meh" onLife of BrianI think you had to be there but I respect how many other pieces this has inspired and its influence in British humour.
Mary likedLife of BrianDefinitely a product of its time, but “Biggus Dickus” has become a natural part of my vocabulary 😂

A pinnacle of British humor that was often quoted to me in my time spent in the UK. It really because a cult. Significantly more political than their ‘holy grail’ film which maybe takes away from the silly jokes laughter but that will in exchange amuse a well cultured person
nevan lovedLife of Briangenuinely funny and super clever with nearly as much exceptional control of its material as compared to the holy grail before it. surprisingly gorgeous with tons of absurd gags and pretty massive amounts of nudity. a love for that one transgender person; ahead of its time
Alex Ruppert likedLife of BrianNot as good as Holy Grail but still very solid. It kind of starts off slow tbh but definitely picks up in the second half. Some stand out scenes are Biggus Dickus, the Stoning, The Hermit and his Junioer Bushes, and the very last scene.

Metacritic
But what a triumph this film was for Chapman, who gave a convincing, touching performance as the bewildered everyman who decides to make a stand, and in his battle with the evil empire makes a Luke Skywalker-style discovery about his lineage. Life of Brian is an unexpectedly earnest, sweet-natured hymn to the idea of tolerance.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Sluggish, repetitive, and strangely timorous, with little of the zap and imagination of the Pythons' television work.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
For all its scruffiness, the lurching strike-rate of its gags, and the unmistakable smell of amateur dramatics given off by its repertory of rotating players with their stick-on Ted Nugent beards, Life of Brian jitters with good will. [3 May 2004, p. 110]
