Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Description
The Python clan are at their bawdy best as they satirize religion,
birth control, British politics, and, of course, sex.
Monty Python explains it all in this episodic
comedy that dares to take on the most "sacred" aspects of
life -- sex, food, politics and religion -- and bring them
hilariously down to earth.
A highlight: the "Every Sperm is Sacred" episode that
starts off the film.

"...A monumental revue, the BEN HUR of sketch
films..."
"...Funny....The seasoned British comedy
troupe has this time come up with an expertly biting, off-the-wall
satire of life's various passages..."
"...A film that makes exhaustive and
exhilarating mirth out of every grimness known to man..."
"...[The film] has riotous moments..."
