Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie Review
I want to admit something up front before I even start this review. I am a huge Anglophile. HUGE. I drink hot tea for pleasure! I mean, how fun is it to drink a cuppa with your pinkie raised? SO FUN! My ringtone is the theme from Doctor Who. I want the ravens from the Tower of London to live with me as pets. If I could meet Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch, I would swim the English Channel. And I can only doggy paddle. So when I was asked to write a review for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, how did I respond? Sign me up, sweetie!
From 1992-2012, Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) entertained us on the BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. This is their first time on the big screen, and it’s everything we have grown to expect from our 2 middle-aged toddlers. And speaking of toddlers, this is not a movie meant for kids (of any age!). Our girls get into some trouble and wallow around in some very adult themes! Suffice it to say, things go off the rails when Eddy accidentally pushes Kate Moss into the River Thames. Eddy and Patsy run off to France and get into some car chases and capers along the way. If you are familiar with the TV program, you will laugh along easily with their exploits. If you are new to their story, it won’t take long to catch up.
Is this movie Absolutely hilarious? YES! Is this movie Absolutely British? YES! Is this movie Absolutely off limits for kiddos? YES! Is this movie Absolutely Fabulous? YES!
