Absolutely Anything review - cheap and cheerless
Simon Pegg plays a teacher endowed with godlike powers and Robin Williams, in his final film role, supplies the voice of a dog. But it's far from funny.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Based off a script that's been knocking around for some years, Absolutely Anything feels like a half-baked Python sketch strung out and bludgeoned into anti-laugh oblivion.
Simon Reynolds, Digital Spy, 14th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Absolutely Anything, which stars Simon Pegg as a schoolteacher who receives limitless power from alien beings, is undoubtedly the worst thing he's done, and certainly one of the worst movies yet made. Zero stars.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 14th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Terry Jones could have done absolutely anything with this high-concept set-up but chose to go down the romantic comedy route. Which would be fine if the jokes were better, but they aren't. The result is a loosely knitted together series of vignettes, some of which raise titters, but the majority of which elicit groans.
Chris Tilly, IGN Movies, 13th August 2015Absolutely Anything review: 'lightly feeble'
Not even a Monty Python reunion of sorts can save Simon Pegg's sci-fi comedy from mediocrity.
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 13th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Absolutely Anything continues on an unwanted trend for Simon Pegg, of making mediocre British comedies, far removed from the ingenuity of his earlier work.
Stefan Pape, Hey U Guys, 13th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale head up an awful sci-fi comedy from Terry Jones.
James Mottram, The List, 12th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale head up an awful sci-fi comedy from Terry Jones.
The List, 12th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Absolutely Anything's schoolboy humour becomes increasingly desperate; as embarrassingly needy as Dennis the Dog, and not half as attractive.
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily, 12th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
The Python team sound half asleep, their characters never more than a plot device. And the cheeky-chirpy keyboard score sounds like it's wandered in from a particularly low-rent as '90s sitcom, along with most of the jokes.
