Absolutely Fabulous the Movie: the magic is still there

Jim Palmer, Wimbledon Guardian, 30th June 2016Ab Fab The Movie review: Patsy and Eddy turned up to 11 (Link expired)
Despite its flimsy plot, this remains worth seeing for the comic chemistry between Saunders and Lumley, which is as irresistible as it is hilarious.
Matthew Turner, WOW247, 30th June 2016Review - Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
In all, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is as hit and miss as the TV show was, once upon a time. Lumley shines, Saunders tries hard, but the thin story is against them from the start, as well as the feeling that we have seen all of this before.

BBC News, 29th June 2016Eddy and Patsy make a strong comeback
Was Absolutely Fabulous of its time, or blazingly ahead of it? The show's nerve seemed to falter further with every comeback, and it slowly settled into its status as one of British comedy's heritage brands. The film, directed by Mandie Fletcher, a stalwart of the later series, charts a safe but satisfying course between the two.
