Those six pandemonium-mad Pythons are back with their craziest adventure ever! Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin have returned to explain The Meaning of Life. These naughty Brits offer the usual tasteful sketches involving favorite body parts and bodily functions, the wonders of war, the miracle of birth and a special preview of what's waiting for us in Heaven. Time pronounces it "an exhilarating experience!" Newsweek agrees, calling it, "the best movie from England's satirical sextet."

Critics Consensus: Monty Python's the Meaning of Life is rude, ribald, and unafraid to take comedic risks -- which is to say it should more than satisfy fans of the titular troupe.

A bit uneven for Python but enough laughs to recommend

While it’s the least cohesive of the Python feature films, it’s also possibly the film that is most true to the Python ethos.

...probably best enjoyed as separate clips on YouTube, or with liberal use of the fast-forward button...

The Meaning of Life is one of the Monty Python's better films. But its innocence remains intact. [Full Review in Spanish]

Some of the sketches are inspired... Some of the sketches are merely loud and boring the Pythons are at their unfunniest in drag. Even devout Pythonians might question some of the items.
