It all adds up to one of the summer's absolute must-sees, not just for its laugh out loud, feel-good comedy but also its wonderful celebration of the endearing, exhillerating friendship between two women determined to grow old disgracefully.

A loving tribute to female friendship (really!)

All the fleeting cameo appearances are like the movie itself: Amazon hot and Arctic cold, with some inspiring affection and amusement and others leading to nothing more than an exaggerated shoulder shrug.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie isn't exactly absolutely fabulous. That's the easy joke, which is appropriate because this movie goes for the easy joke time after time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2021

The habits, routines, and mannerisms of Edina and Patsy take precedence over genuine humor, while easy slapstick overcomes clever misadventures.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 4, 2020

If you're considering coming in cold, you're probably better off binging on the '90s heyday of the show instead, but if AbFab's already on your list of not-so-guilty pleasures, you'll find a lot to like.

Absolutely fabulous it is not - every now and again a little bit fabulous at a stretch.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 7, 2019

This story is pretty thin, and this two characters bumble and stumble through a series of jokes about media's obsession with celebrity, the character's obsession with youth and the life of luxury.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 3, 2019

Laughter excuses all as they say and this didn't have enough.

| Original Score: C | Apr 12, 2019

Well, Britain's bombastic booze-loving fashion figureheads are back for some familiar naughty fun and frolicking, so committed "AbFab" fans can rejoice...off-kilter and shrewdly amusing

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018

Celebrating a culture that is past its prime and being too serious are two grave errors that keep Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie from itself being fabulous.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 29, 2018

Absolutely Fabulous is trashy obsession masquerading as satire, slobbering over the same puffy lifestyle that Zoolander burst into absurdity.

| Aug 27, 2018

Pacing is extremely uneven, which perhaps was intentional because it works so well with the long established schtick. If it feels like a strand of sloppy skits, it's supposed to, my dear -- that's part of its charm.

| Aug 22, 2018

Fortunately for us, laughing from the sidelines, even decades of trouble-and a couple of international incidents-can't dim Eddy's and Patsy's voracious lust for life.

| Feb 7, 2018

For the most part Ab Fab: The Movie is confused celebrity-laden chaos weighed down by too many cameo appearances and not enough story to sustain a full feature.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2017

It's really only for the Ab Fab loyal, but if you're a sweetie darling, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is a satisfying trip back into Patsy and Edina's self-obsessed world.

| Oct 16, 2017

[It] features wall-to-wall cameos from designers and supermodels past and present. Which isn't to say you have to be au courant to get all the jokes.

They may not be at their most fabulous, but they're still good value.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 15, 2017

As a movie, there's not much there, but it's still touching when Eddie admits their outrageous antics are their only defense against the fear of getting old and obsolete.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 11, 2017

One does not have to have a long history with Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone to enjoy the film version of this friendship, a folie à deux.
