Storyline
Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamor, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hot-spots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!

It's a huge great bloody movie, sweetie!
Trivia:
Despite featuring as a key element in the story line, Kate Moss hadn't been approached to feature in the film, when Jennifer Saunders was pitching the story to BBC Films and Fox Searchlight. Saunders admittedly took it for granted that she would be a part of the project. See more »

Rating: 8/10
I'm from someone who is a massive fan of the TV series, the film didn't
disappoint. No it's not particularly original, nor is it the best
comedy Saunders herself has written, but this film is so feel good you
can't help but grin, giggle and laugh-out-loud throughout.
The film is brisk and whips by very quickly. Though the story is often
disjointed, it's not where the film goes it's what happens while you're
there. Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders are just a joy to watch and
there's a ton of fan service as practically everyone who has ever been
in the show makes an appearance here.
I came out of the cinema grinning ear to ear, which oddly not all
comedies manage to do. It was like going for meal with an old friend
that always makes you laugh.
If you weren't a fan of the show steer well clear - this is not a film
for you. To those that did enjoy the show it's a must see. No it's not
going to win any awards (though Joanna Lumley is such a terrific comedy
actress), nor is it going to challenge the convention of comedy, but it
is going to make you happy. Isn't that comedy was created for?
