This review is from: Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979 Film) (Audio CD)

While driving home from work do you find yourself entertaining ways to introduce your employer to the mysteries of modern computer viruses? Do you daydream about blackmailing him (or her) with photographs of him (or her) in compromising positions with naked farm animals? Does your family vacation drag on endlessly with conversations about what the weather will be like in South Hampton? Well look no further! To avoid being caught in the near future with a cleaver in your hand and your clothes soiled with several varieties of DNA evidence call up now and buy this CD! Just pop it in your automobile or home entertainment center and keep yourself and others distracted from murderous thoughts and tenancies. You may however still wish to kill someone, especially after the last track, but at least it won't be anyone important just the guy who wrote the song that keeps playing over and over and over and over again in your brain! By Olympic Standards a perfect ten!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mothers don't grasp Monty Python, so it must be right, May 3, 2009

This review is from: Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979 Film) (Audio CD)

Yep, something about the psychological make up of mothers seems to preclude them from 'getting' Monty Python. At least my mother nor the mothers of any of my mates seemed to quite understand what we all thought was so hilarious about the Python lads and their material.

Oh well, their loss! This is another excellent album of comedy material, here lifted from one the groups feature film masterpieces, Life of Brian. Now to be fair I have to warn you that some of the stuff has been edited and obviously not the whole film is here, but what should be noted in counterweight to that is how funny in simple audio many of the films more visial sequences are which pretty much points to the talent of the group at this time.

In short, this is a nicely recorded and very very funny audio look at most of the salient points of the brilliant film and while you may think that you'd just be better off putting on the DVD there are times you quite simply can't. That's when this album comes into it's own. I've had this in my collection since it came out on cassette tape in the 80's and now own it on CD and it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

This review is from: Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979 Film) (Audio CD)

Most of the tracks are actual clips from the movie, containing only 5 or so actual songs. Its worth it for idle's hit always look on the bright side of life, which is the 3 minute song he sings at the end of the movie. If you are just looking for Bright Side of Life, you probably can find it in another Monty Python compilation with songs from others Monty Python movies, but if you are a fan of Life of Brian you get some audio quotes and a few other songs from the movie.
