Anyone who has ever eaten a cupcake over the kitchen sink, like Paul Rudd s character in This is 40, knows exactly what Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie feels like during its 90 minutes. It s more fulfilling to the soul than appetite, but the indulgence if not the brief escape is an inestimable perk.
The core of BBC s Absolutely Fabulous franchise is the bond between two middle-aged women, Edina and Patsy, whose ride-or-die devotion is now a welcome addition to a summer roster celebrating female friendships like in Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates and Ghostbusters. Aside from indulging us with brash fashion choices, constant cigarettes and partying, the series and now this film is a love story about friendship. Saunders and Lumley create a charisma that proves hard to resist with their satirical but full characters, including us on their shenanigans that feature crashing a runway show or accidentally knocking Kate Moss into the River Thames.
