Absolutely Anything movie review
Directed by Monty Python comedian Terry Jones, Absolutely Anything is a harmless comedy which critics say is fun but could have been pushed much further with stars such as Simon Pegg.
Manchester Evening News, 11th August 2015Film Review: 'Absolutely Anything'
It's devastating to think how far Terry Jones has fallen in the four decades since Holy Grail, in which he got more laughs banging a few coconuts together than he musters from his entire movie.
Peter Debruge, Variety, 11th August 2015Radio Times review
How do you add to what has already been said, shown and written about Charlie Chaplin? Terry Jones concludes here that Chaplin was a "genius" who "took physical comedy to new heights" - not bold claims. He laughs at clips from the great silent films, tries to imitate the Tramp's walk and in several sequences simply stands on the streets of south London reading aloud from a paperback of Chaplin's autobiography. It all feels a little undercooked, but some of the archive footage, for instance of Chaplin revisiting Lambeth in the 1960s, strikes a chord.

Terry Jones, The Observer, 17th August 2014Monty Python Live review
John Cleese was hoarse, Terry Jones relied on cue-cards and at times they looked lost amid the spectacular. Yet you don't need to be a die-hard fan to take the view that none of that really mattered.
