The Plot of "Absolutely Anything"

"Absolutely Anything" is a science fantasy comedy film that follows the story of Neil Clarke, a struggling teacher in London who is granted the power to do "absolutely anything" by an alien council. As a test, they will give him ten days to use his powers for good; otherwise, they will destroy Earth.

Initially unaware of his newfound powers, Neil accidentally causes the death of his students when he wishes for aliens to destroy the classroom of students he hates. He soon discovers that he can do anything he wants, and begins to use his powers for petty personal gains and to impress his crush, Catherine West.

As Neil's wishes become increasingly outlandish and the fate of the planet hangs in the balance, he must decide whether to continue using his powers for personal gain or to use them to solve the world's problems. Along the way, he faces challenges from his own desires and from the alien council, who view his attempts at doing good as a sign of weakness.

The film is a hilarious and heartwarming exploration of the power of choice and the consequences of our actions, all wrapped up in Terry Jones' unique brand of humor and wit. With a star-studded cast and a thought-provoking plot, "Absolutely Anything" is a must-watch for fans of comedy and science fiction alike.

The Production of "Absolutely Anything"

"Absolutely Anything" was directed by Terry Jones, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Gavin Scott. It was the first film to feature all living members of Monty Python since 1983's "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" and the first without Graham Chapman, who had passed away in 1989.

Principal photography and production for the movie began on March 24, 2014, and ended on May 12 of that same year. The film was released in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2015, by Lionsgate UK and in the United States on May 12, 2017, grossing $6.3 million worldwide.

"Absolutely Anything" was also notable for being the last film directed, written, and starring Terry Jones, who passed away in 2020. It was also the last film to feature Robin Williams in the main cast, released a year after his death in 2014.

The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its humor and Jones' directing, while others found the plot lacking and the humor juvenile. Despite this, "Absolutely Anything" remains a cult favorite among fans of Monty Python and comedy in general, thanks to its star-studded cast, witty humor, and thought-provoking themes.

Sanjeev Bhaskar plays Ray, Neil's best friend. Bhaskar is a British comedian and actor, best known for his work on the sketch comedy show "Goodness Gracious Me" and the crime drama "Unforgotten."

Rob Riggle plays Grant, Catherine's former boyfriend and the main antagonist of the film. Riggle is a comedian and actor, known for his work on "The Daily Show," "Saturday Night Live," and movies such as "The Hangover" and "21 Jump Street."

Together, the talented cast brings Terry Jones' vision to life with their impeccable comedic timing and nuanced performances, making "Absolutely Anything" a memorable addition to the world of science fiction comedy.

Absolutely Anything: A Wild and Wacky Ride

"Absolutely Anything" is a hilarious and wacky comedy that brings together a star-studded cast and the creative genius of Terry Jones. The film's premise of a regular guy being granted unlimited power is a classic trope, but the film's execution takes it to new heights with its clever writing and zany humor.

While the film may not be for everyone, particularly those who are not fans of Monty Python-style humor, it is a fun and enjoyable watch for those who appreciate off-the-wall comedy. The film's blend of science fiction and fantasy elements adds to its uniqueness and makes it stand out from other comedies.

Despite some mixed reviews from critics, "Absolutely Anything" remains a cult classic among fans of Monty Python and British comedy. The film's themes of power, choice, and responsibility are timeless and thought-provoking, making it more than just a silly comedy.

If you're a fan of irreverent British comedy and haven't seen "Absolutely Anything," it's definitely worth a watch. And with ExpressVPN, you can easily stream it on Netflix and unlock a whole world of movies and shows from around the world. Sign up today and start streaming!
