Unbeknownst to school teacher Neil Clarke (Simon Pegg), a group of eccentric aliens (voiced by the Monty Python team) decide to place the fate of humanity in his hands. In order to determine if they should destroy Earth or not, the aliens endow Neil with the ability to make Absolutely Anything he wishes for happen. Once Neil realises that he has these new special powers, it takes him more than a few goes (while giving us more than a few laughs) to try and get the hang of it - all the while the aliens are watching. Will he prove a worthy representative or doom Earth to annihilation? (Icon Home Entertainment)

The idea itself is not that original, but the way it is presented is great. Simon Pegg is a great comedian and he shows it to the full here. He was given a great story, and he utilized it to the best of his ability. Kate Beckinsale once again impressed me, and the special effects were also well done. A beautifully banal film that I had a great time with.
