I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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.
If you need a good laugh watch this movie! Everybody in this movie was so funny. The main character is pathetic at first but you learn to laugh at him and like him. The characters in this movie were so funny, great job on the script. If you are a serious person you probably won't like it as it is just for laughs and nothing serious. I loved this movie but I like to laugh.
"Absolutely Anything" is a comedy starring Simon Peg as Neil, a very under-whelmed school teacher. Neil is just an average Joe. There's nothing special about him. He lives in a hum-drum world, surrounded by average people, and works at a job he absolutely despises. Sounds like most of the people I know...Unbeknownst to him, he is given a special power by some all-knowing, supreme aliens to do ANYTHING. Little does he know that how he uses this power will determine whether the earth survives as one of the planets. The aliens (wonderfully voiced by former Monty Python alums) observe his every move and, well, are not impressed.I was not very impressed with this movie either. It had a huge amount of talent: Simon Peg, the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale (it was nice to see her smile for a change), Rob Riggle, Eddie Izzard, and the voice- over talents of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, and the late Robin Williams. However, unlike other critics, I was not impressed by Williams' performance at all. To me, it just seemed very scripted and sedate. Also, with this many comedic actors in lead roles, there should have been so many more laughs. The message of "with absolute power comes absolute responsibility" was negated with sophomoric penis jokes and an ending that was just, well, ridiculous.Rated "R" for brief nudity, language, and sexual situations. "Absolutely Anything" was ultimately absolutely disappointing.
Which would be the German title of the movie translated back into English. The movie being a comedy might split people as much as the title changes in Germany are splitting people up, deciding if that's genius or just plain bad. This comedy works on different levels, one of them being the actors. Kate Beckinsale and Simon Pegg are a really good match and play perfectly off each other.You have to love the physical but also the not always perfect comedy coming from them, but also the rest of the cast (the adoring running joke, sometimes literally either does it for you, or you're annoyed by it, but you can't fault the movie for backing off of it). There are weird ideas and sometimes the movie goes a bit over the top, but that's what I really liked about it too. Great execution and comedy timing too
