Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobin Williams' final film. He had completed his dialogues before his death in August 2014 and the film was released a full year after.
- GoofsThe Pioneer probe is depicted flying with its parabolic dish pointing forward. Obviously, in reality this dish was pointing towards Earth at all times, which would not be in the direction of travel by the time of the Saturn encounter.
- Quotes
Neil Clarke: I can do ANYTHING! Okay... bu... but... what do I *really* want?
[Looks down and laughs]
Neil Clarke: GIVE ME A REALLY BIG DICK!
[Falls over]
Neil Clarke: Augh! ouch! NOT *THAT* BIG! Obviously! Dick, return to your old size!
[Gets up]
Neil Clarke: Agh! Ah... Ok. Um... Let me have a penis that women find exciting!
[Looks down]
Neil Clarke: Yeah, it's good, yeah. Could I have it white?
- Crazy creditsDuring the credits, pictures of the film's story board are shown, as well as clips of Robin Williams recording a few of his lines.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice. The distributor was advised the likely classification was 15 but that their preferred 12A could be obtained by reducing the quantity of strong language. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the number of uses of strong language had been reduced and the film was therefore classified 12A.

Featured review
Absolutely disappointing
While I don't think it's "One of the worst movies ever made", or "appalling", as some critics have said. But I must say that I was really disappointed with Absolutely Anything, because I had such high hopes for this movie to be great just by the cast behind the movie and the director, but it didn't reach my expectations has I wanted. What's more sad is that this is the very last Robin Williams performance (He voices the dog in the movie).
Not once did I laugh or even smile. It was very predictable and not that original when it comes to the story. Simon Pegg dose make a likable main character and Robin Williams dose a great job voicing the dog named "Dennis". But what's more crushing is that The Monty Python crew were involved in making this movie, because they wrote it, stared in it and one of them directed it.
Overall Absolutely Anything isn't awful, but nowhere near great or good.
