Review of Absolutely Anything (2015) by Ola G — 31 Dec 2016

Simon Pegg + Monty Python + Robin Williams = a royal mess. Damn. What an absolute shame: a wasted gathering of some primo comedic talent and saddling them with a lazy, connect the dots script plays nicely as a pedantic Disney-style feature, ... except for the f-bombs, and a tasteless dick joke. What the hell?

Too bad, too, too bad. No really, this is bad.

Nice premise: an everyday bumpkin gets the magical power to do, wait for it ... absolutely anything! Fun right? Was fun. Was called "Bruce Almighty". Still, could've been alright with that zany British humour on board, and no matter what Pegg is saddled with, he is an enjoyable screen presence. Yet the jokes miss, there's no riveting storyline - an achievement when aliens (a reunited Monty Python gang), a talking dog (Robin Williams' final hurrah), and the end of days are involved.

Edit the naughty adult bits out (which add absolutely nothing anyways), and go straight to kiddie video. Please.
