Life of Brian

HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH...HE'S JUST A NAUGHTY BOY.

Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

  • Everest Cannon
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
