Review - Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
I am not sure quite why Saunders chose to make this film as it is clearly way past its peak and although she and Lumley are as brilliant as ever in their roles there is a feeling they are sleepwalking their way through them; they even on occasion throw out a few greatest hits moments. The thing is, due to re-runs and box sets, these are not as funny as they should be as familiarity alongside predictability are the curse of any comedy.

Radio Times, 1st July 2016Jennifer Saunders always struck me as untalented
For 15 to 20 minutes I was teetering on the edge of enjoyment but the initial burst of enthusiasm soon wore off; a reaction that seemed to be mirrored by the rest of the audience.

Claire Rutter, The Mirror, 30th June 2016Absolutely 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.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 30th June 2016Film 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.

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