Marc Winegust’s review:
It's a nice historical-fiction flick about the hardships of censorship the Monty Python troupe had when releasing their masterpiece "Life of Brian."
Although it mainly follows the plot of Cleese and Palin preparing for the debate on Friday Night Satuday Morning, there are many nods to past and future Python collaborations (catch the Spamalot reference if you can). Remember, some of what the film depicts is true, but most of it is fabricated for humour's sake.
If you love Monty Python, you'll love this zany film.
