Gedreht wird Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie in England und Südfrankreich. (...) Die Serie endete nach neun Jahren bereits im Jahr 2003, hat aber eine sehr große Fangemeinde und kehrte zu den Olympischen Spielen 2012 mit drei Specials zurück.
Mandie Fletcher (Blackadder, Absolutely Fabulous) führt Regie.The film reunites Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as Edina and Patsy, along with the rest of the original cast, which includes Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.
In the movie, which is adapted from the BBC TV series, Edina and Patsy are still living the high life: shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots. 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 playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent, and live a life of luxury forever.
