What to Know

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.

Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Treat-sized food-for-thought from a wonderfully silly director. Rated: 3/4 May 12, 2017 Full Review Stephen Dalton 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. May 8, 2017 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The redeeming factor is the sheer, unabashed silliness. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Phil W. Bayles 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 May 4, 2019 Full Review Matthew Bond 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 Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Samitha B Wish it was a little funnier. No chemistry between the leads. It's like Rachel's trifle from Friends chemistry-wise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Rik O I watched this without any context or expectations and actually enjoyed it. It's very British and has that B movie feel but I would probably watch it again Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Melissa M Eric idol, John cleese, Robin williams, Kate beckinsale, Simon pegg,. With this cast you know it's going to be a good movie. Anything directed by Terry Jones It's going to be fun to watch or LOL. This movie does not disappoint. Even though the end of the world theme has been done over and over again. And will probably be done from now until the apocalypse. This film takes a very fun and satirical look at the end of Earth. The beginning of the movie is doggone funny. And the laughs just keep on coming. The special effects are out of this world. I think it's cool at the beginning the aliens that appear are not your standard average gray aliens with giant almond eyes. I think this movie is underrated. And overlooked. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Emma R Ridiculously silly fun that made the whole family laugh with a stellar cast! Will watch again when need cheering up😂 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review David M Great cast.....daft,and very funny....really enjoyed it !
