The decadent duo (Jennifer Saunders & Joanna Lumley) pick up right where the TV show left off: still staggering thru life glamorous and wasted. Edina’s scheme to woo Kate Moss as a client ends in disaster and an escape to the French Riviera. If you’re a fan of the movie you’ll appreciate that most things are exactly the same: the family is back, their habits haven’t changed and the humor ranges from clever to broad to absurd. There are dozens of cameos, but if you’re not up on English pop culture many may go unappreciated. The costumes are wonderfully over the top. Other than a parade of celebs, nothing about the big screen version is stepped up…just more semi-outrageous antics from the women who made it fun to be degenerate.
