Life's questions are 'answered' in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. Then there's the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor. The world's most voracious glutton brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise.

Sirpa reviewed Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983)
Quite funny
I'm a big fan of british sense of humour. You either get it or you don't. Well I do. I'm also a fan of Monty Python's, which is the very essence of sense of british humour. I've seen this film a couple of times before and this time it wasn't as funny as I had remembered. Of course the jokes are tacky, otherwise it wouldn't be Monty Python's.
I think the music in this film is amazing and I think the crew is very talented music makers. The way they parodize musicals is also very amusing and very clever.I think it's worth the watch even for the sake of the music.
