Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1542 movies items)" Join the Pythons, as they search for The Meaning of Life! It took God six days to create the earth, and Monty Python just 90 minutes to screw it up. As they look at birth, middle age, gluttony, war, the tedious time spent at work, sex, commercialism, sex, war, sex, fish, Christmas, health care, what bit means to be British, school, the end of the world, and of course... sex. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, also known simply as The Meaning of Life, is a 1983 British musical sketch comedy"

“The Meaning of Life is not for everyone. It is very tasteless, but it is often brilliant too. The film is uneven of course but it is very funny. It looks good, the direction is solid and the dialogue and gags are witty, unique and inspired. The acting and comic timing from Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Terry Jones is impeccable too. And there are some genuinely funny moments such as the sequence in which a financial institution is boarded by swashbuckling pirates and Every Sperm is Sacred. However, some of the middle half borders on the dull side, while the war parody is overlong and the sequence in which a glutton explosively overeats is incredibly grotesque(one word of advice: don't watch this sequence while eating). Overall though, it is funny ” read more

My biggest disappointments in entertainment (146 tv items)"Talk about pretentious nonsense, Monty Python's films were always silly and random at points, but never to this degree, never simplifying the subject this much, never this dragged and unfocused, and never with such gross and juvenile humor. The music was the only thing I liked about it."
