Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamor, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hot-spots. Read more …
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 glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!
It's scatty, scrappy and thoroughly OTT, but then that's like the characters themselves.
Some were trepidatious about this belated big-screen outing for the fashionista sitcom. In fact, post-referendum, the timing couldn’t be better … and neither could Joanna Lumley.
Thankfully, Saunders and Lumley bring such zest to the film that its clunkier moments are easily overlooked.
Ridiculous, riotous and a bit of a mess but Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley save the day and raise our spirits when we need them the most.
Joanna Lumley steals the show in the sitcom’s fun, not quite fabulous big screen outing.
There is such a sweet affection for them and such comic delight in every one of Lumley’s sneers and pratfalls then you feel able to forgive many of the failings.
It’s Carry On Up The Catwalk with TV’s favourite fashionistas. The perfect girl’s night out for the Mamma Mia crowd.
Eddy and Patsy are still a blast, but too many tired jokes and celebrity cameos pad out a painfully-stretched film.
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley on their best behaviour.
