Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie review

Some were trepidatious about this belated big-screen outing for the fashionista sitcom. In fact, post-referendum, the timing couldn't be better ... and neither could Joanna Lumley.

Film review: 'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie'

Structure is as much anathema to Saunders' writing style as it is to her alter ego's entire lifestyle; this is the comedic equivalent of paintball, and when her splatter-shots land, they do so to raucous effect.

Absolutely Fabulous: The movie - bolly good show!

The jokes spring out at you from our crumpled old friends, sharp and fresh and pleasingly tasteless.

Review - Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

BBC comedy makes a wobbly transfer to the big screen but its two delicious lead performances keep the comedy fizzing along.

An endearing shambles, much like the original show.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - review

British sitcoms face particular challenges when they attempt the big screen, since the charm of our comedy is that it tends to be small scale, low-budget and full of interestingly unglamorous people. Ab Fab largely escapes that parochial feel thanks to its implausibly wealthy fashion setting, yet this chaotic stumble onto the big screen somehow still comes close to disaster.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - wearing its yeas well

The plotting is lazy, but this big-screen reboot of the much-loved sitcom gets by thanks to its stars and to the endless goodwill cameos.

On the set of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

Patsy and Edina are back on the Bolly. But with cameos from Kate Moss, Gaultier and Alexa Chung, have they got too cosy with the world they're satirising?

Absolutely Fabulous: who was the real Patsy Stone?

When Lauretta Sullivan Feldman died in 2010, the few obituaries of her that were published described her as "the widow of Marty Feldman". What many missed is that Sullivan, the Bristol-born daughter of a butcher, was largely responsible for Feldman's success in America and ended her life as one of Los Angeles's most beloved and quietly influential cultural figures.

But did this impossibly glamorous woman also play a part in the creation of Absolutely Fabulous character Patsy Stone?
