Absolutely 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.
It’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.
In 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.
[A] depressingly inept comedy.
A huge amount of talent here, including Joanna Lumley and Eddie Izzard. Sadly it goes nowhere.
It’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.
