- 75RogerEbert.comNick AllenRogerEbert.comNick AllenAbsolutely Anything is more than its unique place in history, and serves to remind us that no one made movies for goofy adults quite like Jones did.
- Pegg works wonders, but you’ll wish the concept had been pushed further, that there was more to the Pythons’ ‘reunion’ – and that Robin Williams had found a funnier swansong.
- 40Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonTime Out LondonTom HuddlestonIn the plus column there’s a small handful of decent gags, a clutch of welcome cameos (Eddie Izzard, notably) and at 85 minutes it doesn’t outstay its welcome. There’s also a fairly solid moral about free will and personal desire. But nothing else here really clicks.
- 40The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinIt’s not bad so much as lightly feeble – and Pegg acquits himself respectably in a lead role that, for a change, chimes well to his best comic persona: the beta male under alpha pressure.
- 40EmpireEmpireSadly, proof that they will make absolutely anything these days.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonThe Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonAbsolutely Anything is a flabby misfire full of labored slapstick, broad caricatures and groaningly absurd plot twists.
- 30Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala Halligan[A] depressingly inept comedy.
- 20VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s devastating to think how far 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.
- 20The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawA huge amount of talent here, including Joanna Lumley and Eddie Izzard. Sadly it goes nowhere.
