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.

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

Rated: 3/4

The Hollywood Reporter

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

The Age (Australia)

The redeeming factor is the sheer, unabashed silliness.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 3/4

One Room With A View

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.

Rated: 2/5

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

Sometimes you don't want a gritty, thought provoking and insightful film, sometimes you just want easy to follow entertainment with some good laughs. When it's the latter, reach for this film and you won't be disappointed, in fact, you'll just be that much happier than before you switched on.

If they had toned down the stupidity in the script a notch, they could have had a great film. Instead, this is what we got.
