Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis 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...".
- GoofsEarly 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.
- Crazy creditsThere is a brief scene featuring Jeremy Paxman after the end credits.

Featured review
It's only really bad if you paid $12 to see it in the theater
"Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie" from 2016 stars Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley - who else - and the rest of the cast from the TV show.
Edwina (Saunders) is accused of pushing Kate Moss into the river, and probably killing her, during a party. Then Edwina and Patsy are afraid they've killed Bubble (Jane Horrocks) in yet another drowning, so they decide to leave the country. There is already a nationwide search for Edwina for Kate Moss' murder. They go to Cannes, taking Saffy's daughter Lola with them because she has credit cards. Patsy's plan is to look up a wealthy beau (Barry Humphries) from years ago and convince him to get married. Things take a decided left turn.
There are many funny things in this movie - it's really for fans of the show, and if you're British it's even better, because many of the guest stars are famous in Britain and not here.
If I'd paid $12 to see this, I would have been mighty disappointed, so I can understand the bad reviews. The cast is terrific, it was wonderful to see them all again, and Edwina's speech at the end is priceless. The guest stars don't add much, and as a feature film, it doesn't make it.
This is a slightly longer TV episode with lots of guest stars thrown in, and that's about it.
