Absolutely Anything

Absolutely Anything is one of those movies I threw on without expecting much, and maybe that’s why it worked for me more than it probably should’ve. It’s dumb in a very intentional way — the kind of silliness where you can feel the cast just leaning into the chaos instead of pretending the plot makes any sense. And honestly, that’s part of the charm.I’m not overthinking the 5/10 too much, because even though it’s far from amazing, I genuinely had fun with it. Simon Pegg doing his clueless-everyman routine while he gets godlike powers is already a funny setup, but the real MVP is the dog. Every single scene with Dennis had me laughing more than I expected. The “give me sausages” stuff, the way he reacts to everything like the world’s most hyperactive toddler — easily the best part of the **** movie moves fast, doesn’t pretend to be deep, and just sort of throws jokes at you nonstop. Some land, some don’t, but the vibe is easygoing enough that I didn’t care when a gag fell flat. Even the whole “aliens testing humanity” thing is so ridiculous that it becomes part of the ****’s one of those movies where you laugh, you roll your eyes, and you kinda enjoy the fact that it never takes itself seriously for even a second. Not great cinema or anything, but definitely the kind of goofy, harmless comedy that fills a night nicely. So yeah — 5/10 on paper, but in terms of fun, it did its job.
