What are your opinions about this particular film? Give us your own insight! But please, take care of these simple rules first:
~ Don't be rude. If I think your review is inappropriate, I won't add it, simple as that.
~ No swearing. This is basically the same as the 'don't be rude' rule. We're not here to slam anyone.
~ Please keep in mind that this is an Eric Idle site. Sure, you're giving a review on the film, and that's great, but please don't go on and on about a different actor or actress throughout your review. For example, don't blab on about how John was so superb as the black knight and as the French taunter in Holy Grail, etc., as we'd much rather focus on Eric's traits in the film, and the overall storyline, appearance, and entertainment quality of the film itself. However, that being said, you are more than welcome to talk about Eric's role(s) as much as you like!

Synopsis:
Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life, the least-known of the Python films, is a sketch-style movie that takes you through the stages of life, from birth up until death. Essentially, a plot doesn't exist, and the characters do not play over into the different scenes. Rather, it's numerous sketches pasted together to create a flow of a very basic storyline of the periods and events of life. Some very memorable moments are included, such as Mr. Creosote, Gaston the French waiter, two halves of a tiger, and the galaxy song.
Diane's Review:
Between its vivid, wild brand of humor and snazzy songs, you won't be sure whether to roll around on the floor laughing, or go dancing down the street singing 'Every sperm is sacred!' at the top of your lungs. This film deserves more love than it is given by the popular fanbase. While it stands up well against the towering successes of Holy Grail and Life of Brian, it cannot quite reach the same heights. Some of the scenes can be a bit much (ex: Organ Donar), but others are just as good as anything from Grail, such as Christmas In Heaven or the Hendy couple. However, my personal favorite is Eric as the front half of a tiger - it's adorable and amusing at the same time.
