Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamor, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hot-spots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!Written by

For Gwendoline Christie, the star of "Game of Thrones" and Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015), the opportunity to work on Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016) was also a dream come true. "I have been a lifelong fan of everything Jennifer has ever done,"' she says. "I grew up watching and re-watching 'Ab Fab'; to me it was a masterclass in how performance could work at the highest level." When the actress met her comedy hero at the Elle Style Awards at the beginning of 2015, she showed off "in a pathetically vain attempt to try and impress her." Thankfully, it worked. "It would seem that she took pity and allowed me to be in her film," laughs Christie, who plays herself, and who says that the greatest birthday experience of her entire life was when, during the filming of her real-life partner Giles Deacon's fashion show, Eddy and Patsy presented her with a huge birthday cake. "My cheeks are still hurting from grinning." See more »

It started very slowly, and at first I was really worried that this was nothing but a cash grab...after they "killed" Kate Moss, though, it really took off! In lieu of a "review", I've got bullet points:
*Stella McCartney was totally hilarious, but only if you know your Beatles
*It saddens me to say, but the least funny person in this film is...BUBBLE??? Let me put it this way - in "AF:tM", she is the equivalent of Jack Black in "Tropic Thunder"
*Saffy's tirade is hysterically funny...but only if you watched the series
*I recognized Barry Humphries in his 2 seconds as Dame Edna, but NOT as Charles...I didn't realize it until the credits
*I LOVED the homage to "Some Like it Hot"!!
