A few comments on this movie while addressing the comments of a few other reviewers:
"Whether or not someone thinks "Life Of Brian" is a direct attack on Christ or just a really stupid and/or funny parody, if the Monty Python boys released this back during the Inquisition they would have been strung up by their toenails and whipped horribly."
So, what are you advocating here? A return to the "good ol days" of the inquisition? This is PARODY/SATIRE. They clearly establish that this has NOTHING to do with Jesus from the very beginning. Pull your head out of your ass.
"Jesus Christ is the most revered person in all of human history and it is hard for me to watch a parody of his life."
I'll say it again, this isn't Jesus. You must have missed the opening scene.
"The men of Monty Python made a somewhat funny film but it wasn't as funny as "Holy Grail"."
Which, by the way, was a satire about a search for the cup of Christ. No problems with that? Still want to hang them by their toes?
Of course, this isn't the Python's greatest work. It's their second best film, and not nearly as funny as some of the episodes from their show, but all in all it's a hilarious piece of work. Keep an eye out for George Harrison in the film, too.
All the best
