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]

- 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
This is a movie in the fashion of Bruce Almighty starring the overestimated Simon Pegg. (The main character even has a dog who wishes to be potty-trained, like in the Jim Carrey movie).
What would you do if you were able to do "Absolutely Anything"? Well, you can easily do a couple of ...turds to go flush themselves into the toilet, or make your dog able to speak, or spy on your cute neighbor.
Most of the jokes aren't funny at all and are based on the literal meaning of Pegg's wishes like I want to be on the bus means on its roof etc. The lack of imagination of the main character is derived from the poor imagination and talents of its writers and creators.
Obviously in such a movie you need good visuals to produce the "mind-blowing" and extravagant possibilities, but the movie fails miserably in that department too.
This is the absolute worst thing Monty Python has ever done. Naive, Idiotic and a missed opportunity... Avoid it...
