Valley of DeathJun 5, 2013I guess I've reached an age where this is my favorite Monty Python movie. So absurd and satirical that, minus some musical numbers and animation, it could easily be mistaken for one of Luis Buñuel's surreal attacks on bourgeois social norms. "When Martin Luther nailed…

“You have been convicted by twelve good persons of the crime of first-degree making of gratuitous, sexist jokes in a moving picture" or "It's all for the good of the country." A better future for all fish, and those who love them. People are not wearing enough hats!…
Josh LewisMay 17, 2025This is unfortunately the last python film and the one I’ve never watched so at least I’ve finally ticked this off my list. As for the movie yeah it’s good it’s definitely less narrative focused than the previous two and more Akin to the tv series featuring irrelevant…
SamDec 16, 2018My favorite film of all time. An absurd brutalization of western society, and a perfect encapsulation of the meaning of life.

I’m a lot… confused, disturbed, questioning the last hours of my life. What did I just witness?
Marvin Stickan likedMonty Python's The Meaning of LifeI think I'm farther away from it than before watching the movie

British people definitely know how to make good comedy. At first it was a bit weird because it's not a traditional movie with one cohesive story but a compilation of multiple plots. Some of the best were the one with the fish, the one with the tiger and the one in the restaurant.
Big E likedMonty Python's The Meaning of LifeEnjoyed this far more than Life of Brian possibly because I grew up in the catholic faith, so this just hit a little harder maybe. Grew up on Monty Python thanks to my dad, so this was just an enjoyable quirky vibe. Not for everyone I’m sure, but I thought it great raunchy fun.
William Luckenbach lovedMonty Python's The Meaning of LifeThis film is strange and abstract but to tell the truth, there is some meaning to it all as much if it serves to critique American society and religious institutions. I adored this film. 8/10

James Pritchard lovedMonty Python's The Meaning of Lifebloody good skits. not a continuous story like the first two but loosely held together skits. pirates, unexpected boobies, marching up and down the square, wafer thin mint, and ghosts
Mickerdoo is "meh" onMonty Python's The Meaning of LifeLittle disjointed and out there for me. Doesn’t hit my funny bone like Holy Grail did. Has some moments.
Hasvik is "meh" onMonty Python's The Meaning of Lifeprobably my least favourite of their films

The Meaning Of Life is unsparing and elaborate in its vision of humanity at its foulest.
Noel Murray
The A.V. Club
A movie that seems consumed with a desire to push us too far. This movie is so far beyond good taste, and so cheerfully beyond, that we almost feel we're being One-Upped if we allow ourselves to be offended.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Excessive and self-indulgent it's true but still the Pythons at their worst are still worth a look.
