Movie Review - Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" 04/01/83

This is a movie review for Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" movie, released April 1, 1983.

I watched this on a VHS tape.




Trailer:






Cast:
The Monty Python crew, as per usual. I won't go into it because they each played like twenty roles in this clippits-pasted-together movie. ;-)



Plot:
The Monty Python crew trying to figure out what is the meaning of life through many short skits/scenes. Birth, War, Sex, Death, etc. are all talked about in this movie.




Criteria:
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around – characters, music, theme, storyline, etc.

4/5 - As this is the second Monty Python video that I have seen (The Holy Grail) being the first, I found this to be interesting but not necessarily "cult" worthy. Have your own opinion! There were bits that were dreadfully dull and others that were side-splitting funny. My two favorite bits were "Every Sperm is Sacred" and the delivery room scene.

Not a bad movie. Good stand-alone movie. Not for everyone, but recommended.






Bonus song: "Every Sperm is Sacred" [NOT for everyone!]:




[Even my mister thought this was funny.]
