Review: A classic comedy from the irreverent Monty Python crew. Brian is a Jew born on the original Christmas… in the stable next door. The wise men come in to distribute gifts, but the star moves next door, so they take them back and move on. So begins the life of Brian. The Jews, desperately seeking spiritual and political freedom, are on the constant lookout for the Messiah, and a group decides that Brian is the leader they seek. He cannot convince them that he is not, and he joins the Judean People’s Front, a revolutionary group that really does absolutely nothing except hate the Roman occupation. Brian becomes a reluctant messiah. Features Eric Idle’s classic song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
