Info

The wildly popular British television show Absolutely Fabulous gets a Francophonic makeover with this film version directed by Gabriel Aghion. In this go around, Josiane Balasko and Nathalie Baye play the incorrigible Eddie and Patsy, who leave no impulse unenacted and no lust unsated -- be it for sex or the latest in designer clothing. Waking up from a night of drunken debauchery, the two dip right into a feast of champagne and caviar, much to the irritation of Eddie's elegant mother and her resentful daughter. As Eddie stretches an appalling pair of leopard-print leotards (complete with matching shoes, purse, and hat) over her massive rear end, she and Patsy learn of a handsome young Rollerblading delivery boy who quickly becomes the object of their lust. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.

Absolutely Fabulous Audience Reviews

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
dliniaev This is one of the breathtakingly funniest, hilarious movies I've ever seen. Both Nathalie Baye and Josiane Balasko are great, their act never fails to induce laughter; the situations are unique and fresh. It is hard to say which episode I liked most, since they are all equally good. Seldom do you find a movie in which humor is spread so evenly throughout the whole script. There is only one thing this movie leaves to be desired: it should be more widely marketed and promoted world-wide. If you have a chance, do not hesitate to rent and watch it - you won't regret it, unless, of course there is something terribly wrong with your sense of humor!
Oreste Once you've accepted that you're not going to watch an episode of _Absolutely Fabulous_, you will enjoy this film. The two actresses are hilarious and the spirit and the decadence of the series is totally present. This film is very entertaining: I wasn't bored for one second!
uso_dorsavi I loved the tv show, and didn't feel like to go and check this one - but since I wasn't paying (that's a long story). Well still, I really was furious with that lousy piece of painful comedy. It's not funny, it's pathetic, sinister, and boy what a bore. That's it.
Fredericmignard This is a French remake of the fabulous eponymous British TV series. The adaptation is successful as the director and the cast never betray the spirit of the TV hit. Aghion, the director, has chosen gags from various episodes and has gathered them together in a coherent screenplay. It looks an extended version of an episode of the series. It doesn't bring anything new for the fans of ab fab. With this movie adaptation, the director's aim is to reach a wider audience (we have to keep in mind that the British series is cult in France, but not really famous). Fortunately, the film is as trash as on TV, and therefore really funny. Balasko and Baye perfectly embody the 2 demented alcoholic fashion victims and as far as I am concerned, I kept laughing from the beginning till the end. Not fabulous, but close to.
