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.

"'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."
