| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt's like watching "Yellow Submarine" laid over a celebrity-therapy episode of Dr. Phil. |
| Boston PhoenixBetsy ShermanIt's an affectionate, imaginative tribute to the artist's idiosyncratic take on life. |
| OregonianMarc MohanUnfortunately, it just doesn't come together. The animation ranges from crude approximations of Terry Gilliam's cutout style to borderline puerility, and the entire enterprise strives far too desperately for the sort of irreverence that Chapman could conjure with a cock of his pipe-clenching head. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowLike the Python movies, it is is made up of skit-like segments, but it only briefly reaches anywhere near their level of sublime comic anarchy. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlIt's sometimes a mishmash, though never an unwelcome one. |
| New York PostKyle SmithLike a lesser Python entry ("The Meaning of Life"?), it's alternately brilliant and frustrating. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayWhat's missing from this movie is any of that sense of what made Chapman so important, or why he was so often at the center of Monty Python's best skits and movies, up until his death from cancer at 48. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttShockingly, little of this 3D cartoon is funny apart from Graham Chapman's own humorous narration. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe most interesting aspect of "A Liar's Autobiography" is watching all the different visual styles go by... |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA must see for Python disciples, this extensively produced 3D string of animations will run hot and cold with the general public. |
