Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)

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!

Trivia
This movie was finalized as part of a bet made on the radio. Jennifer Saunders was determined to get the movie made in order to win a bet with comedy partner Dawn French, and would have to pay her ten thousand pounds sterling or have the script in her hands by the end of 2015. She succeeded in the latter, although when French first properly looked through the script, after page thirty-five, it just said "blah blah blah blah...".

Goofs
Early in the film, Edina learns that her ex-husband is cutting off her alimony. Edina's alimony (and other financial assistance) was already cut by both her ex-husbands in the series 2 episode, Poor (1994) in 1994.

Quotes
Mother: [Mother has announced that she is going to Cannes] Oh, just a thought. Will I need injections, Saffy?
Edina: Yeah, lethal ones.

Crazy credits
There is a brief scene featuring Jeremy Paxman after the end credits.

Bland, but amusing.

If you are a fan of the first three of the six seasons of Absolutely fabulous like I was, you might be,disappointed in this long awaited movie. This movie seems to have been written by the writers of seasons 4-6. Writers of Seasons 4-6 seemed to believe saying "Sweetie Darling" would get laughs, and they were wrong! This movie seems to be an unedited/uncensored two part episode from season 6 that somehow was a turned into a theatrical release. Just like seasons 4-6, this move was bland but amusing. Footnote: Get a load of a certain British starlet from 1950s on up who was doing cameos near the end.. She should put together an info-mercial on the Botox she used. You would never believe that's her at eighty plus of age.
