Absolutely Fabulous! Jennifer Saunders teases a sequel

The talented star has revealed that it is a possibility - depending on whether people go to watch it.

Absolutely 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.

Film 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.

Absolutely Fabulous the Movie: the magic is still there

Remarkably, the questions 'why now' or simply 'why' feel irrelevant when watching the Absolutely Fabulous movie.

Ab 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.

Review: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

Joanna Lumley steals the show in the sitcom's fun, not quite fabulous big screen outing.

'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie': film review

An endearing shambles, much like the original show.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - review

British sitcoms face particular challenges when they attempt the big screen, since the charm of our comedy is that it tends to be small scale, low-budget and full of interestingly unglamorous people. Ab Fab largely escapes that parochial feel thanks to its implausibly wealthy fashion setting, yet this chaotic stumble onto the big screen somehow still comes close to disaster.

Helen O'Hara, Empire, 29th June 2016

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - wearing its yeas well

The plotting is lazy, but this big-screen reboot of the much-loved sitcom gets by thanks to its stars and to the endless goodwill cameos.
