Absolutely Anything is a 2015 British science fantasy comedy film directed by Terry Jones, and written by Terry Jones and Gavin Scott. It stars Simon Pegg, Kate Beckinsale, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Rob Riggle, Eddie Izzard and Joanna Lumley, with the nonhuman characters’ voices provided by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Jones, Michael Palin and Robin Williams.

It was the first movie to feature all living Monty Python members since Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (1983), and the first without Graham Chapman, who died in 1989.

This was the last film directed, written by and starring Terry Jones, five years before his death in 2020.[5][6] It was also the last film with Robin Williams in the main cast, released a year after his death in 2014.

    Good find. I haven’t watched it but for those that look for such things before watching movies:

    IMDb: 6/10

    Rotten tomatoes:20%

    Metacritic: 31%

      Shame, that, really. So much talent in one place. Shoulda been great.

        The only thing that gives me pause is the weirdly high IMDb score. IMDb is usually a lot more brutal than Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes - so maybe it’s worth watching a few minutes to see if it’s better than what the other scores suggest.

      I mean, it’s not a masterpiece but I don’t think it deserves 20%. I’d say the IMDB rating is the most accurate IMO.

    This popped up on my YouTube for me the other day I decided to just randomly watch it and it wasn’t all that bad at all …it definitely passed the time and I got a couple Chuckles out of it. It’s obviously not the most original concept but it was still entertaining enough!
