Neil’s first wish is to make a whole classroom of students disappear.
Directed by Terry Jones, Absolutely Anything tells the tale of an ordinary schoolteacher, Neil Clarke (Simon Pegg), who is suddenly granted the ability to do anything he wishes.
These powers are given to him by a group of aliens who are watching him from outer space. Neil is unaware that how he employs his new powers will dictate the fate of mankind. One wrong move and the aliens will destroy Earth forever.
While struggling with these miraculous powers, Neil is also trying to win the heart of the girl who lives in the flat downstairs, Catherine (Kate Beckinsale), and he calls upon his loyal dog Dennis (voiced by Robin Williams in his last-ever film role) to help him.
Will Neil do the right thing and use his powers properly? Will he get the girl of his dreams? And will Dennis help him achieve his dreams, or just dream about dog biscuits? Find out when Absolutely Anything opens on August 27.
