I won't spoil the movie's ending, but its twist is surprisingly gratifying.
Is it too much? You bet. But Saunders and Lumley are all about keeping the party going. So grab your Bolly, darlings, and party on.
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, while amusing in spots, too often plays like a moderately decent TV-reunion show that's diminished by its attempt to be a theatrical feature.
Whether joking about the shallowness of the fashion industry or veering to an inverted riff on Some Like It Hot, you can never say this romp doesn't go for it.
Finding deep meaning and satisfaction from this story will be difficult, but if it's style over substance you're after, then you'll revel in the comedic chic.
It's such great fun to watch these incredible comedians inhabit these characters once more.
Audience Reviews for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Decent considering the amount of time past. It got an extra half star for the air hostess scene. Rebel is often grating, but she nailed that small role. I literally laughed out loud. I would like to watch this again before reviewing properly as I watched on a plane with bad sound and picture quality and I think I probably missed a few things.

"Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie" lacks the freshness and trenchant wit of the original television series -- but oh my, it's fun!

Tells all the same jokes from the show, but as tends to happens when a show does a movie, the film feels flabby and run-on. Many of the jokes are weak fat jokes at Eddie's expense and there's the usual lip injection and drinking physical gags for Patsy. Patsy shines, stealing the scene more than once. There's some, for Ab Fab, deep examination of the ladies' denial/hatred of aging. Wish there was a smidge more Bubble in this; her outfits (and her compound in France) were, as usual, a spectacular treat to behold. Locations and wardrobe are absurdly fab. The celeb cameos did get a little grating as most of them were wasted on unfunny one liners. This is really a two star movie, but considering that I did laugh out loud a few times, I'll grant it three stars. If you're looking for a shallow character romp, and really that is why we watch Ab Fab, this will dispense enough giggles to carry you from one glass of bubbly to the next.
