Review of Holy Flying Circus (2011) by Stuart M — 19 Jul 2014
I cannot reccomend this film. A documentary about the world's reaction to "Life of Brian", Python's finest effort, would be a worthy consideration. But instead, we get a scripted recreation of what the filmmakers surmise the troop members might do & say.
Actors who do resemble the boys give uneven impersonations of the Pythons which are, for the most part, unconvincing. Here's the deal. There are certain things you don't mess with because you're just not going to do it justice to include The Marx Brothers, The Blues Brothers, Richard Pryor, George Carlin & The Kids In The Hall.
In other words, Flying Circus is holy & Holy Flying Circus is no more than a very pale imitation. FYI, there is absolutely no documentary footage whatsoever. Will be extremely disappointing to an authentic fan.
Just pull out your " Life Of Brian" bluray & watch it instead.
