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.

"All I ever wanted was not to be fat and old!" cries PR guru and bad gran Edina Monsoon, bewailing the time when "the zeitgeist used to run right through me". As her best friend Patsy injects herself with Botox, flips through Tinder and quaffs Chanel No 5 because they've run out of Bolly, it's clear that writer/star Jennifer Saunders hasn't lost her touch over the quarter century since these characters were first conceived for TV.

No matter how much fashion has moved forward, Eddy and Patsy will always be in style.

Despite its flimsy plot, this remains worth seeing for the comic chemistry between Saunders and Lumley, which is as irresistible as it is hilarious.

Joanna Lumley steals the show in the sitcom's fun, not quite fabulous big screen outing.
Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 30th June 2016Graham Norton is the master of pulling in the big guests and treating them to his charm, irreverence and sauce. This week he's joined by the inimitable Patsy and Edina (Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders) for the release of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. Australian fun-bomb Rebel Wilson completes a lineup of witty women. There's also audience participation and music from sinewy rock cockroach Iggy Pop.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 24th June 2016Review: Grimsby, a bad taste comedy of epic proportions
Grimsby] is the kind of film you know you shouldn't laugh at, it's unbelievably disgusting and in no way witty or topical like Cohen's past ventures, but there's an audience for this type of comedy and I dare say they will lap it up in spades - just make sure you shower afterwards.
Peter Gray, Q News, 10th March 2016Grimsby review
Sacha Baron Cohen's jokes aren't at the expense of his latest creation - the football obsessed, kebab-munching Nobby - but at the people who imagine the character really exists.
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 23rd February 2016Radio Times review
The last time Cameron Diaz was on The Graham Norton Show he slightly lost his grip. Give Diaz an inch and she'll launch into one of her daffy monologues about dating or - as happened last time - what you might describe as women's personal grooming.
On that occasion she had Richard Ayoade quietly dying next to her; this time Ricky Gervais and Ben Stiller will be on hand, partly to publicise their latest Night at the Museum movie and partly to keep La Diaz in check. Her co-star in the Annie remake, Jamie Foxx, is also squeezing onto the sofa, as is EastEnders' Danny Dyer and Australian comic actress Rebel Wilson. It's quite a line-up.
