Blasting in with a floodย of Bolly (Bollinger, their champagne of choice) nearly powerful and silly enough to blow away the post-Brexit blues, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley give their all to “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” and drag it bitching and boozing over the fine line between ropey TV transfer and riotousย night out.
The celebrity cameos alone should power it to some kind of kitsch success but there are enough funnyย jokes and quotable moments from Edina (Saunders) and Patsy (Lumley) that give it that botox injection to lift it well clear of recent fashionista film duds such as “Sex and the City 2” and “Zoolander 2.”
