My Review- 


This is probably the 3rd movie I have seen from this group since I have only seen half of the Holy Grail, but nonetheless this movie was really really funny. There were some parts that were to gross for me and other parts where I could not stop laughing. I really do like sketch comedians like these people and especially when I have grown up seeing their other work as well. This movie was told in various parts that at times made no sense and they all did not connect with each other and would break into random song. I loved how they made no sense and waited until the very end to answer the question which is in the title of the movie. I thinks this what makes them comedic geniuses is because they don't take their topics seriously and do not care what people think and will tend to piss them off, they even say something almost like that at the end of the movie. One of my favorite ones was when they started singing about the universe for no apparent reason and some how it had to deal with our liver or something like that. It was the meaning of life according to Monty Python which was different variations that some how all came together and worked to tell a really screwed up meaning of life but kind of made it believable. If you like Monty Python, then I suggest you watch this movie, I loved it and I hope you do as well.
