Absolument fabuleux

I totally agree with previous comment on this movie. As much as I rolled myself on the floor in laughter while enjoying the original series, as much I was appalled by the French "version". What a pity for the French who are so delicate in their own art of comedy, so funny and so much inspired and God knows how much the rest of the world already appreciate ! What got hold of this bunch I just cannot imagine... and how could two major actresses commit themselves into this failure is mystery to me. Well, well, they managed to turn something totally hilarious into the worst kind of vulgarity I have ever seen on screen. At least it should teach one a good lesson : do not imitate other's fantasies if you are too lazy or too dim at the joyful art of comedy. Please do something else but do not spoil our pleasure. Thanks in advance.

The film is a remake in the French Language of an English Comedy series called Absolutely Fabulous. You cannot translate the humour of the original series into another language and to even envisage it was a total and utter waste of time. Imagine translating "Fawlty Towers" into French, God Forbid ! It's no more possible than translatine Amélie Poulain or Louis de Funès into English ! I cannot see any sane person in the world appreciating one iota of this film. It was a total bore from beginning to end and should never have been made. I have seen both actresses in other films where they were superb, but they must have been really hard up for money if they were willing to make a piece of crap like this !

This is one of the breathtakingly funniest, hilarious movies I've ever seen. Both Nathalie Baye and Josiane Balasko are great, their act never fails to induce laughter; the situations are unique and fresh. It is hard to say which episode I liked most, since they are all equally good. Seldom do you find a movie in which humor is spread so evenly throughout the whole script. There is only one thing this movie leaves to be desired: it should be more widely marketed and promoted world-wide. If you have a chance, do not hesitate to rent and watch it - you won't regret it, unless, of course there is something terribly wrong with your sense of humor!

Once you've accepted that you're not going to watch an episode of _Absolutely Fabulous_, you will enjoy this film. The two actresses are hilarious and the spirit and the decadence of the series is totally present. This film is very entertaining: I wasn't bored for one second!

I loved the tv show, and didn't feel like to go and check this one - but since I wasn't paying (that's a long story). Well still, I really was furious with that lousy piece of painful comedy. It's not funny, it's pathetic, sinister, and boy what a bore. That's it.
