Mjeteconer Just perfect...

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

thedrrjp Anyone who rated this less than a 5 has no sense of humor. I don't know what the heck they were expecting to see but whatever it was it was not ab out this funny flick.Simon Pegg, a British staple in comedic endeavors, is perfectly cast as the poor shlub who is given the power to have anything he wishes just by saying it and waving his hand. The kicker is that he only has the power for 24 hours and that his wishes don't go exactly as planned.The maxim, "Be careful what you wish for," could be the theme of this funny flick - especially if you are used to speaking literally. The power is granted to Pegg by a bunch of the weirdest assortment of aliens this side of the Bar Scene in Star Wars who travel from galaxy to galaxy looking for species worthy of joining their fraternity of planets.I liked this film so much that I watched it a second time with my daughter. You'll love it.

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.

Hellmant 'ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A British sci-fi comedy which reunites all of the living Monty Python members, for the first time since 1983's 'MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE'. It was directed by Monty Python actor Terry Jones (who's also directed or co-directed the other Monty Python movies) and it was written by Jones and Gavin Scott. The film stars Simon Pegg, as an average human guy that's chosen at random, by a galactic council of aliens, to be given the powers to do absolutely anything he wants. The powers given are a test, by the aliens, to decide whether or not Earth should be destroyed, or if it's inhabitants should be allowed into the galactic council or not. The film is also notable for being Robin Williams' last film role (as the voice of a dog). The movie also costars Kate Beckinsale, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Rob Riggle, Eddie Izzard, and the additional voices of Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese and Eric Idle (the Monty Python cast). It's received mostly negative reviews from critics, and it only received a very limited indie theatrical run in theaters. I found it to be pretty poorly executed, which is a shame considering all of the talent involved. A group of four aliens, which call themselves the 'galactic council', find a space probe containing information about Earth (and the human race). They use this information to debate whether they should destroy Earth, or allow humans into their elite council. According to the council's rules they must choose an earthling at random, who will be given powers to do whatever they want (as a test), and if they use the powers for good than humanity will be saved. They randomly choose a lonely secondary school teacher, named Neil Clarke (Pegg), for their test. He of course knows nothing about how to deal with his sudden gift, and he puts the entire planet in jeopardy. The movie is amusing, but it's not really funny. It tries to be somewhat emotional, and insightful at times, but it fails at these elements as well. Pegg gives it his all though, in the lead, but the material just doesn't work at all. It's a good concept for a silly sci-fi comedy, but it's just a little too silly and not thought through enough (in my opinion).Watch an episode of our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at:https://vimeo.com/236806254

ace_ryan Simon Pegg, Robin Williams, John Cleese and the Monty Python gang are just some of the comedic talent in this movie. Now admittedly yes it is essentially a British remake of "Bruce Almighty" (which I absolutely love) and while it's not hilarious it is certainly very funny. So the plot in it's simplest form is Pegg's character is given the ability to do absolutely anything he wants by aliens looking to accept Earth into their alliance or destroy it and what follows are some rather funny outcomes. Now I am a fan of Simon Pegg partly because I was born in the same city as the actor and I genuinely find him very funny ("Shaun of the Dead" and "Paul" are two of my favourite comedy movies) and there's no question I adored Robin Williams so those two names drew me to want to see this movie and I was laughing at practically every joke in the movie. Now in truth the story could've been better but for what it's worth it isn't terrible. My only gripe with it is it should've been a "15" certificate due to the number of times the f-word is actually used in it and the brief nudity in one sequence (to put into perspective it was rated a 12A here in the UK which allows mild swearing, maybe one use of the f-word and implied nudity not in your face "those are definitely breasts" nudity) which certainly surprised the adults who had brought their young kids to see a movie with Robin Williams as a talking dog let me tell you. The movie is good, it is funny, is it the greatest comedy ever made? I'd have to say no, but it's a good movie for a chuckle and especially if you're a fan of any of the actors in the movie...just don't let your children watch it if you don't like them hearing the f-word or seeing naked breasts in a movie rated "12A" (or "PG-13" or the equivalent certificate if you're watching in another country).
