The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I am a massive Monty Python fan and i would go as far to say that The Life Of Brian is the funniest film ever made but for me , Live at the Hollywood Bowl does not really work as a film. Having been to the Hollywood Bowl i should imagine that the show was magnifiscent and i would love to have said " I was There" because it was one of the last time the whole group performed but the show was nothing new. We see some of the old sketches seen 10 years previous such as " The Mynistry of Silly Walks" and "The Lumberjack Song" and some not so funny new ones but strangely no Parrot sketch. The group are also joined by a female member and song writer Neil Innis and im afraid to say they dont fit in at all. There is also film clips sandwiched in the middle of the sketches and quite frankly they are not funny. I hate to be cynical but i can only presume thay the Pythons did this show for the money and while the audiance look like they loved the show it should have stayed in their memories and not on film. 7 out of 10.

If you were never lucky enough to see the Monty Python's Flying Circus troupe live onstage, you must see this movie! It includes many classic sketches from their BBC series, such as "The Argument Clinic" and "The Travel Agent Sketch." Plus live renditions of such famous Python songs like "The Lumberjack Song" and "The Bruces' Philosopher Song," and sketches that weren't even on TV! And even shots of the audience will catch your eye! You'll know that Monty Python has achieved cult status when John Cleese comes out shouting "Albatross!", to have audience members reply with "What flavor is it?" The only thing better than seeing this movie, is to have seen the show live!

Okay, this is great. Monty Python - live, in front of a huge audiens - gives this movie a good sense of atmosphere (all the happy people you see that is so happy you would think they'd die of it) that enlightens the Python show - that must go on!Several of the classic scetches is performed; The Person Looking For An Argument, Little Redriding Hood, The Nutcase Olympics, The Lumberjacker and several more of great quality. You'll laugh like a maniac!**** 1/2 of *****

This is probably the movie which made me watch "life of brian" and "the holy grail". It is brilliant, I first heard of MP after I saw what I consider to be one of the best comedies ever filmed, "a fish called wanda", and I have seen every MP flick since then. In this masterpiece they have picked only the best scenes from their best movies: Silly walk, ..say no more..,silly Olympics, Michealangelo and many more. Even if you only have the slightest sense of humor you still must see this one it might change they way you judge comedies in the future.41/2 out of 4 possible
