This was the last of the Monty Python films, it was also the last one I saw and unfortunately it's not nearly as fun as their previous work.
The meaning of life is a very bizzarre and uneven film. Some scenes makes one laugh loud enough to make the windows in one's house to tremble (Mr. Creosot) while others are simply too long and boring (the intro).
It seems that for every funny scene there's one that's just too strange for it's own good. It sometimes seems like the Pythons were too interested at making a zany flick than a good one, this never reaches the incredibly high standards that Monty Python set years befor with the amazing "The quest for the holy grail" and the even better "Life of Brian". That's not to say that it's bad though, it has it's moments and it still beats over 90% of all the comedies made today. But I still have to say that I expected more from the Pythons than this.
Nice but no cigarre.
7/10
