I didn't know what the meaning of life is, I saw it, I laughed a lot, and I still don't know it.
not the best monty python but it still hit the spot
Classic bits strung together with not much care for plot or consistency. Music is amazing and has tons of laugh out loud moments
Don’t care about this one but I know it’s important in cinema
Lots of funny skits but a little uneven. Some people may be offended by some of the irreverent humor.
excellent satirical & comedic look on the absurdity of life's situations. it is weird & needs a few watches to get into their mindset
Hit and miss sketches from the Pythons, and you get the impression their hearts aren't really into it anymore, but still a lot of fun.
Essential viewing for lovers of bizarre/satirical humour. The less you know going into this, the better. Just don't watch it while eating...
Pretty good. They actually tell you the meaning of life at the end which is nice. If you get queasy SKIP the dinner scene 🤢
More skitty than their other films but this plays to the groups strengths
