Entertainment Reviews:
...A monumental revue, the BEN HUR of sketch films...
New York Times
If The Meaning of Life is undeniably tasteless, it is also imaginative and played with a soft edge that never reads as bitter, only mischievous.

Hollywood Reporter
...A film that makes exhaustive and exhilarating mirth out of every grimness known to man...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: B --
Despite its obvious shortcomings, The Meaning of Life also happens to be devastatingly funny at times, hitting a few beats of silliness with traditional Python precision.

Some of the sketches are inspired... Some of the sketches are merely loud and boring the Pythons are at their unfunniest in drag. Even devout Pythonians might question some of the items.

Mostly dead-on and characteristically Pythonesque.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The skits range from hilarious to humdrum.

Product Description:
The Monty Python collective 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. One of the many highlights is the "Every Sperm is Sacred" episode that opens the film.
