Advantages: Best Monty Python film ever
Disadvantages: DVD include absolutely no extra features

This was the first Monty Python movie I ever saw, years after my dad told me about the hilarious scene involving Mr. Creosote, and it remains my favourite Monty Python film. However, the DVD is the worst Monty Python DVD I have. ~~~ The Film ~~~ This review is mainly concentrated on the DVD, but I will include this section specifically on the film. The film itself is about life, so goes through stages of life, presented in parts until the meaning ...
...It's also the last Monty Python film, which is definitely unfortunate as they were only getting better and better. I think the main reason this film is my favourite is the fact it does not stay on one person or general topic. It feels quite random as it moves through life, from birth to life in school, and onwards through things such as the 'autumn years' and finally death and a visit to the afterlife. The cast, as usual, are naturally funny, adding ... Read review

Advantages: British humour at its best
Disadvantages: none

...Meaning Of life. The Monty Python team, are up to their usual anarchic antics in this look at life from beginning to end, in a fashion that only Monty Python can. Not so much a movie as The Life of Brian, or The Holy Grail, its more of a series of hilarious sketches, portraying people in everyday life situations, from the moments of conception, (The Sacred Sperm Sketch) is on of the best of the entire film, to a final meeting with the Grim Reaper, ...
...this hilarious last full length Monty Python movie. Laughs abound from the usual team of:- John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman . All in all a real good piece of British humour at its best. Running time 86 minutes. I've only hired the DVD so this is a film only review. But a quick look on its availability over the internet, shows it is readily available from many outlets at varied prices ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, lots of extras
Disadvantages: remake

This DVD is the same as the original but many more extras. It is the six pythons at their best, the film is more of a number of sketches put together rather than following one person directly, it starts of with birth and ends with death, obviously not that simple and obviously extremely funny as it was made by the pythons. Although some of the pythons are not completely happy with the finished product i am, and if it was made any better i feel i ...
...probably hooked up to the machine that goes PING! (you will get it if you watch the film) If you wich to find out more about the film and watch the pythons doing more funny things then i seriously suggest you watch all of the extras so you can get the full enjoyment from it. The different sections of the film are- Birth- in a hospital, with john cleese and graham chapman as the doctors, what make this funny is it may take a couple of views to pick ... Read review
