Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

STARRING JENNIFER SAUNDERS, JOANNA LUMLEY AND NAMES, NAMES, NAMES, DARLING!

PR agent Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) accidentally pushes Kate Moss into the Thames; when the model is presumed dead national outrage forces Edina and the ever loyal Patsy (Joanna Lumley) to go into hiding. The classic 1990s sitcom returns for a glorious cinematic send-off. The original cast is back, thankfully; this is all wild and funny, with glamorous London and Cannes locations. If there ever was a hint of depth on the TV show it’s definitely gone now, but the movie is packed with cameos from stars who look like they’re having as much fun as the cast.

2016-Britain. 91 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Mandie Fletcher. Screenplay: Jennifer Saunders. Cast: Jennifer Saunders (Edina ”Eddy” Monsoon), Joanna Lumley (Patsy Stone), Julia Sawalha (Saffron ”Saffy” Monsoon), June Whitfield, Jane Horrocks, Chris Colfer… Celia Imrie, Barry Humphries, Lulu, Emma Bunton, Kate Moss, Rebel Wilson. Cameos: Gwendoline Christie, Joan Collins, Cara Delevingne, Dawn French, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jerry Hall, Jon Hamm, Stella McCartney.

Trivia: Co-executive produced by Saunders and French. Horrocks and Humphries play Edina’s assistant Bubbles and Patsy’s old lover Charlie, but also appear in quick cameos as a Shirley Bassey impersonator and Dame Edna.
