Reno Rangan I have never seen the original television series, but I came across and found it interesting to try, only to realise in my watch that it was not what I thought of it. Yeah, definitely my disadvantage was that I didn't know the characters, the universe and all the basics. Those who loved the show might enjoy it better, since they know what to expect from it. I was like looking for a proper intro. The introduction of everything, as I'm not familiar with anything out of it. But it did not come, the story just went on and on from the opening itself. I was confused what's going on, who is who and et al.It took almost half of the film to be comfortable with the scenario of the tale. Once I was there, I thought it was funny in places, yet I did not feel like to have a laugh. Again, I blame myself for missing out the fun for not knowing them very well. It never occurred to me before. I have seen many films that proceeded by its television series which I haven't seen. It looked short and the pace was excellent, so I did not get bored, except not getting the overall film properly. Otherwise, I would have rated it better. I think the people like me should be careful while picking it. Other than that it is an okay film, not a bad film.5/10

SnoopyStyle Eddy (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) are still the same. Marshall is getting transgender surgery and cutting off the house payments. Lola is staying with her mother Saffy at the house. Of course, mother and Bubble are still around. Eddy's book deal falls through. She's desperate to get Kate Moss as a client but ends up pushing her into the Thames. With Kate Moss feared dead, Patsy loses her job and the girls escape to the south of France with Lola. Patsy is looking to marry rich Charlie from the old days.Expanding a TV show into a theatrical movie is not always an easy task. The laugh track is gone. Even the old kitchen is gone. Like Entourage, this tries to fill up the empty spaces with cameos. Some are fine like Stella McCartney, Lulu, and Baby Spice who are all veterans of the show. Kate Moss is a good MacGuffin. However, the big screen is simply too big for the show. The best moments are the sharp jabs from the show's regulars. Eddy and Patsy fighting with Saffy is comfort food. Instead of trying to go bigger, it really should concentrate on the characters and their relationships.

Scott Long It's been a long time coming. Glad it finally happened! It was everything the series was and more. The ability to make comedy out of tragedy is the epitome of comic genius and Jennifer Saunders proves that is exactly what she is, a comic genius. The style of comedy in the series and this movie is eccentric and unlike anything else ever written. If you don't get it, that's too bad, because it's hilarious. The juxtaposition of frivolity and the seemingly halfhearted search for enlightenment in a world that is anything but enlightened, the irony of Edina's daughter being the only voice of reason in her life, the best friend playing the part of the blind leading the blind, all culminates in a soul searching moment that lasts about as long as it takes to realize she is on top of a world she doesn't fully understand but embraces anyway. While watching you really get a sense of Jennifer imagining that she could have everything she ever wanted, and making fun of it all at the same time. This final chapter in the story is the perfect ending to a fantasy world that deserved the international Emmy it achieved.

edwardnutbeam I remember absolutely fab, from watching it on the TV, it was much funnier. Understandably this is a film and limited to a narrow story and film length, all in all a good representation and reflection of silly, "fasion" and so called "beautifull people" a film i would not watch twice but enjoyable for a distracting 90 minutes. my favourite character is saffy played by julia sawalha, i always have enjoyed her since her apearance in the 80s, the plot of the film is a mix of good old British comedy, with ignorant and empty headed fasionable air heads, that only worry about things that are surreal and stupid, money and greed is ever present in the film, taking of advantage of elderly people and gold digging are the means of survival for our two main protagonists, in essence a shallow make fun of the fasion world, that made me happy for a while, so recommended tee hee.......people should go back to watching videos of kittens, now bugger off...... (the last scene of the film, brilliant)
