“A Liar’s Autobiography” is a fully animated entry into the “Monty Python” franchise but it’s disappointing. It’s meant to be a parody of the life of Monty Python member Graham Chapman (“The Life of Brian”) but instead of being funny, it’s merely lots of weird sexual content.

Graham Chapman is to this day, the only member of the group to have died. This film doesn’t claim to tell a factual story about him but it doesn’t even show us an interesting one. Most of the film focuses on his sexual experimentations with men, homosexuality isn’t a punch-line and I’d have thought the geniuses behind the tv series of “Monty Python” and the other films would have known that as they worked on this.

Graham Chapman’s voice is used to narrate this picture but it doesn’t help anything. John Cleese (“Clockwise”), Michael Palin (“Jabberwocky”) and the rest are all here to lend their voices but who cares, they aren’t saying anything funny. These are the masters that gave us a sketch about dead parrots and cheese shops that kept us laughing throughout, what has happened here. Stephen Fry (“Tooth”) and Cameron Diaz (“Charlie’s Angels”) also provide their voices but it doesn’t add anything to the experience.

At this point, the review seems merely compiled of degrading comments so why did it receive its rating; well I’ll admit that I love the animation. We see nearly every type of animation you could possibly think of and the film becomes a real treat to the eyes, it’s a pity that most of the time the screen is littered with cartoon genitals and not something more sophisticated. Take away the animation and this film is pathetic, it’s not funny and it’s not clever. Some may claim it’s insensitive to talk the way they do about a deceased person here and use footage of him but I believe Chapman would have loved a mockery of his life to be made; he would have been offended by the low quality of this particular mockery.
