Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamor, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hot-spots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
montezumagold Like many others, I too am a fan of the original series and wanted this movie to be great.Unfortunately, from the opening credits, it just seemed to be going for cheap laughs (walking onto the catwalk looking for their seats?!) rather than well-crafted clever humour, which was so apparent in the series.Disappointing to say the least.
maxburlington Brilliant. Was just like catching up with old friends, perfect, funny, amazing, made me remember how much i miss the orig series so im marathoning them again xo Millenials, i recommend watching the orig series so you 'get' the movie, you will find it 89.5% better if you do this! Gen y's and x's mummy and aunty pats are back 😂😂😂
SnoopyStyle Eddy (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) are still the same. Marshall is getting transgender surgery and cutting off the house payments. Lola is staying with her mother Saffy at the house. Of course, mother and Bubble are still around. Eddy's book deal falls through. She's desperate to get Kate Moss as a client but ends up pushing her into the Thames. With Kate Moss feared dead, Patsy loses her job and the girls escape to the south of France with Lola. Patsy is looking to marry rich Charlie from the old days.Expanding a TV show into a theatrical movie is not always an easy task. The laugh track is gone. Even the old kitchen is gone. Like Entourage, this tries to fill up the empty spaces with cameos. Some are fine like Stella McCartney, Lulu, and Baby Spice who are all veterans of the show. Kate Moss is a good MacGuffin. However, the big screen is simply too big for the show. The best moments are the sharp jabs from the show's regulars. Eddy and Patsy fighting with Saffy is comfort food. Instead of trying to go bigger, it really should concentrate on the characters and their relationships.
robstackley It started very slowly, and at first I was really worried that this was nothing but a cash grab...after they "killed" Kate Moss, though, it really took off! In lieu of a "review", I've got bullet points:*Stella McCartney was totally hilarious, but only if you know your Beatles *It saddens me to say, but the least funny person in this film is...BUBBLE??? Let me put it this way - in "AF:tM", she is the equivalent of Jack Black in "Tropic Thunder" *Saffy's tirade is hysterically funny...but only if you watched the series *I recognized Barry Humphries in his 2 seconds as Dame Edna, but NOT as Charles...I didn't realize it until the credits *I LOVED the homage to "Some Like it Hot"!!
