What the critics say average 5.0 from 3

  • 6.0 Time OutMatt Looker 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. Read
  • 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterStephen Dalton "'Absolutely anything' is a film that is not lit, spacious cartoons and absurd plot twists." Read
  • 4.0 VarietyPeter Debruge "Decades in the making, Monty Python vet Terry Jones' lame sci-fi satire squanders the contributions of top comic talents - including the late Robin Williams." Read

Trivia

All 10 facts
  • Long time since the comedians Monty Python last time met to make a film together. They have had to spend 30 years (since 1983, with 'El sentido de la vida'), so we could see them again. The wait will be worth it.

  • Robin Williams's final film. It was released on the 1-year anniversary of his death.

  • Benedict Cumberbatch and Gemma Arterton were originally cast as Neil and Catherine.

  • First film directed by Terry Jones in 19 years.

  • Terry Jones said he was influenced by the H.G. Wells tale "The Man Who Could Work Miracles."
