As a big fan of the original series, I was quite pleased when I heard that there was a movie about Edwina and Patsy. Well, the truth is: that movie really sucks! It's poorly written, and Jennifer Saunders IS Edwina, there's no one who could ever fill her shoes...
The only thing that worth a look is that guy, Jonathan... damn, the boy is cute! :)

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.
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 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.
I only went to see this movie because I had the feeling it would suck. And I was right, the gags are really lame, and Josiane Balasko as Edina is awful. The original tv series was actually great, but this is a terrible movie, really really awful.
Here's a tip, don't go see this movie.
