Absolutely Fabulous: The movie - bolly good show!
The jokes spring out at you from our crumpled old friends, sharp and fresh and pleasingly tasteless.
Libby Purves, Daily Mail, 30th June 2016Review - 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.
Jason Solomons, Reuters, 30th June 2016'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie': Review
"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.
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily, 30th June 2016Film Review: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
A personal appearance by the Queen herself would do little to distract from the joyous, film-driving chemistry between Saunders and Lumley, two effervescent pros who fit each other as comfortably as a sensible pair of flat-heeled shoes.

Readers Digest, 30th June 2016Absolutely Fabulous - The Movie: review
Ab Fab is truly back, fatter and shinier than ever! A bit of sparkle in these bleak times. So, Jennifer Saunders I am obliged to say: cheers, thanks a lot.
Kate Stone, Funny Women, 30th June 2016Absolutely Fabulous review
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is ridiculous, riotous and a bit of a mess but Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley save the day and raise our spirits when we need them the most.
Stefan Kyriazis, The Daily Express, 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.
Brogen Hayes, Movies.ie, 30th June 2016Review: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Celeb cameos galore - including one from a GSN staffer! - in this screwball comedy, but beware a lazy Caitlyn Jenner-inspired subplot, sweetie.
Jamie Tabberer, Gay Star News, 30th June 2016Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie review: Sometimes funny
A must for fans of the TV series, even if the story goes nowhere in particular.
