Plot: Brian is born in a stable on Christmas, right next to You Know Who. The wise men appear and begin to distribute gifts. The star moves further, so they take it all back and move on. This is how Brian...( read more  read more... )'s life goes. The Jews are looking for a release from the Romans, Spiritual and political decay, keep looking for signs and a group decides Brian is the Messiah. He cannot convince them he is not. He joins the Peoples' Front of Judea, one of several dozen separatist groups who actually do nothing, but really hate the Romans. While not about Jesus, it is about those who hadn't time, or interest to listen to his message. Many Political and Social comments.

    THIS is on the IMDb Top 250 list?! If I offend anyone, excuse me. But I thought most of - no, scrap that - all of the jokes were so bad I actually wanted to cry. Even John Cleese, who, we all agree, can be a comedic genius, has nothing witty to say. I feel sorry for the guy that was cast in the pitiful role of Brian's mother. You poor sod.

    Each joke (or attempt at one) is repeated about four times. There's only so many times 'People's Front of Judea' (or Judean People's Front; whatever) or 'Biggus Dickus' can be funny (none, in my case). I like my satire subtle, not thrown into my face.

    As much as I try, there is absolutely nothing good to say. The longest 90 minutes of my life. I wonder why I sat through all of them? The world is a funny place.

    The greatest film not about Jesus. He is in it, but thankfully not for very long. It is impossible to go through life without quoting this movie or having it quoted to you. Funniest movie ever? I cried.

    One of the funniest movies on the face of the earth, although somewhat anti-Christian. Anyone that has a good sense of humour and isn't insulted too easily will love this movie.

    By the way, there are some abruptly and bluntly ridiculous parts in this that you might not understand, but please understand that you aren't alone.
