I usually try and put some effort into writing reviews on here but I just can't be bothered with this.
Bloody awful.

I would like to be able to compare this with the original run of the original TV series to see how it has changed. It seemed to me to be very much a hideous caricature of its previous self. It definitely used to work and would have been so much better if it had just been more of the same - relying solely on a good script rather than this horrific pastiche of what it once was. If ever there was a film that wanted to cram in as many celebrities in cameo then this was it. Some of them worked. Some of them were completely redundant and some of them just looked plain embarrassed.

Like stuartboy, I found this film to be poor compared to the original tv series. Yes there were a few laughs but it was definitely more like "spot the stars" . . . and I use that term loosely! The idea for the story was quite good but it just didn't do it for me which is also why I delayed making any comment. Having said that, my friends who were with me did enjoy! Glad it was free!
Marks 5/10

I wasn't expecting to like it and probably only went due to the recent free film drought, but had a mildly entertaining 90 minutes.

It's baggy, even though it's only short and a lot of the cameos fall flat, but the odd guest star that does work such as Kathy Burke is enough to keep things moving along. It's ramshackle, but also quite silly which I liked and it really comes to life every time Joanna Lumley is on screen, she's fantastic. 6/10

I don't know if I want to taint the wonderful memories of the Tv series, the reviews are currently saying font bother.

Was it just me that thought that Patsy and for that matter Bubbles was an extreme exaggeration of her previous character? Was verging on the bizarre. Drinking perfume for example? And what on earth was Bubble wearing for most of this? I know dome fashion is extreme in the industry, but that was ridiculous. Was this just taking the piss out of the original?

Seems i'm in the minority here, but I liked it.

Seems i'm in the minority here, but I liked it.

I quite liked it too although some of the lines fell flat. It still has a lot to say about how shallow that industry is.

I was lucky enough to win tickets for Diet Coke's exclusive screening at Soho Hotel - It was a screening for media people, lots of drinks and nibbles, and diet coke branded with Ab Fab, and fun dressing up with masks of Edina and Patsy. We all could not stop laughing behind those brilliant masks! Hilarious, sweetie darling!

Loved the TV series and this did not disappoint. Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are on top form. Spot the cameos. Stay for the after credits clip. Absolutely hilarious fun, darling! I absolutely loved it! 9/10
