Critics Consensus

Given the impressive array of talent involved in Absolutely Anything -- and the near-total lack of laughs it provokes -- this Monty Python reunion can only be regarded as a disappointment.

3/4

Treat-sized food-for-thought from a wonderfully silly director.

Absolutely Anything is a good idea but is executed poorly, with a lame take-home message about great power demanding great responsibility.

3/5

The redeeming factor is the sheer, unabashed silliness.

3/4

Absolutely Anything may be a bad movie, but I laughed a lot, and really, that's what Jones and company set out to accomplish.

2/5

Eric Idle always tells us to look on the bright side, but it's hard to see a bright side to this depressingly unfunny movie. See absolutely anything else.

1/5

Jones's cult status ensures a decent cast but the execution is messy, short of laughs and tiresome.

First post ever on Rotten Tomatoes because i was shocked at how low the rating is....I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Simon Pegg, Monty Python Royaly and Robin Williams as a talking dog...hell yeah!

Entertaining, charming and very silly.

I quite liked it, but I'm a bit of an anglophile. Okay, maybe more than just a little. Anyway, the premise wasn't all that original, but Simon Pegg is wonderful. He's "every man", cute and funny and can prolly pull off quite a lot. The weak link was Kate Beckinsale. She's too pretty. So trying to empathize with her plight (oh woe, I'm gorgeous and men are obsessed with me) was a little difficult. A more realistic kind of woman might have done the part greater justice. Just saying. Loved the former Monty Python crew voicing the aliens, and I'm sorry that Robin Williams wasn't given more rein to really invigorate his character.

Aliens were a bit weird, and the poop thing.. But funny with Simon Pegg and Robin Williams voicing the dog!

I think what the reviews of this movie proves is that Amerians really aren't too bright. For anyone with an actual sense of humour beyond prat falls and abuse, this is a warm, funny, very British movie. Simon Peg is, as always, delightful, the script gentle but insightful and harks back to the type of comedy films staring Alex Guinness. Ignore all reviews, inclusing this one and just watch it for yourself. If you have more than a few brain cells you should enjoy it.
