Have you ever seen a film so bad that it kind of makes you appreciate all other films? Have you ever seen a film so bad that you sit there fascinated by what you are watching? Well-the new animated documentary (if you can even call it that) A Liar's Autobiography will allow you who said no to one or both of these questions finally get to have both of these experience. The film is dreadfully unfunny, painfully boring, soul crushingly stupid, disgusting to look at and yes-it even ruined all of the good memories about one of my favorite comedy troupes-Monty Python.
The film explores the life of Graham Chapman-the Python member who died at 48 of cancer. When I say the film explored his life-I just mean it barely skimmed the surface. In fact-anyone with a brain would have more fun doing five minutes of research about Chapman online. Also-they would learn more and save money (especially since this film is in 3D.) The film tells of his childhood and how he came out of the closet. However, it does this in such a derogatory fashion that I am shocked to say that this is based on something that Chapman wrote.
Also-the film tries to be hilarious at every possible chance. In this aspect-the film did not succeed...at all. I never laughed once and considering the size of the crowd I was with-I might as well say neither did they. One guy in my audience chuckled softly to himself two times but that was it. The film is boring in the way that it does not go for any originality and is stupid and tedious in the way it repeats itself over and over and over. Also-the film is sickening to look at. Unlike something like the HBO show "The Life And Times Of Tim," which is crudely animated on purpose-this film is just cheap looking in its animation for no reason. The film uses many different styles of animation but none of them are pleasing in the slightest.
In the end-there is no reason to see this film. It is a lifeless and worthless piece of junk. This is the first film in years that I want to burn every copy of. It is a waste of film, money and time and has officially ruined anything I ever loved about Monty Python.
(0 out of 5 Stars, The film is rated R for strong and crude sexual content including graphic animated sequences, language and some violent images)
