Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

zsenorsock This film deserved a better fate than the one it got--a quick release before disappearing into the void. The film isn't perfect by far but Simon Pegg makes a funny lead character, Kate Beckingsale is breathtakingly beautiful throughout and the Monty Python gang has a nice turn as well.But the real surprise for me was Robin Williams. I have NOT been a fan and he's caused me more pain than laughs throughout his career. But in this, his final role, Williams is absolutely FABULOUS. He's funny and gives Dennis character a lot of heart. What a great way to go out.A few reviewers have noted this is a "family friendly" comedy. But be aware there's a lot of unnecessary swearing that I found...well, unnecessary. But Jones delivers a script with more hits than misses and as a director keeps things rolling.This is one that is well worth giving a try.

graves-scott People who hate this movie, admit it. The scene where he "solves" all the problems of the world and we find out without global warming the planet freezes is the reason you hate this movie...If you expect everything to be dark, miserable and filled with horrid people screwing each other over then this isn't the movie for you. It's a fun movie with screwy antics and yes a bit of juvenile humor. Not everything has to be some dark reflection on the human condition. Sometimes a movie can just be fun with out some kind of serious moral or strong political message. Get over yourselves folks. Try smiling, laughing and enjoying life without all the darkness. This was simply a fun movie. Don't try to make it into something more than it was.

sol- Empowered with the ability to do absolutely anything by a group of aliens testing whether humankind is inherently good or evil, a milquetoast British schoolteacher struggles to decide what to do in this comedy co-written and directed by Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones. The gags are very much hit or miss, but there are far more hits than misses as the film frequently derives humour from the overly literal nature of his powers, finding himself in a dog bowl when wishing himself back home having dinner with his dog and so forth. The dog -- voiced by Robin Williams after being wished the ability to talk -- is the biggest highlight of the film with a particularly funny scene in which he is mistaken for a gay lover. Amusing as the film often is, the plot frequently feels very contrived with the aliens only ever existing as an excuse for the protagonist's inexplicable powers - and the film's constant cutting back to the aliens musing over their experiment is an unwelcome distraction, novel as it is to have the aliens voiced by the five still living members of the Monty Python troupe. The film also spends far too much time on side plots involving a beautiful yet lonely neighbour (played by Kate Beckinsale) and her possessive ex-boyfriend (Rob Riggle). That said, Riggle has some very funny moments as he spies on Beckinsale in an often slapstick manner, with his condescending attitude towards Brits bringing to mind Kevin Kline in 'A Fish Called Wanda'. All in all, 'Absolutely Anything' is not bad for what it is, but Jones has clearly not aimed too high either.

FilmBuff1994 Absolutely Anything is a good movie with a well written plot and a top notch comedic cast. It is a very inventive, imaginative story as we see Neil, played by the hilarious Simon Pegg, as he is given the power by a group of aliens to have anything he wants come through. Pegg is joined by the late great Robin Williams as his dog Dennis, who is the highlight for me as Williams speaks in a way that we would all imagine dogs must think. As well as that, Kate Beckinsale shines as his love interest, Rob Riggle is a hilarious antagonist and the Monty Python crew are terrific as the intergalactic aliens. I did feel, on the other hand, that it does not entirely deliver on its potential, it is given a plot line that gives the writers free reign to write anything, and yet it still manages to feel restricted. Terry Jones had apparently been developing this story for over twenty years, but it somehow managed to feel very thrown together. I think the biggest mistake this movie makes is having Neil tell people about his powers. Something that they should have learned from the movie that is most similar to this one, Bruce Almighty, is that it is more fun for an audience if we are the only people that know about this massive secret the main character is hiding, as soon as he tells his friend Ray, I feel instantly less connected to the story. While it is certainly flawed, Absolutely Anything is still great fun, worth the watch if you are looking for a good comedy, just do not go out of your way to see it, check it out on Netflix. A man is bestowed with the powers to do whatever his heart desires, what he does not know is that he is being tested by alien forces to see if he uses the powers for good. Best Performance: Simon Pegg
