Anyone been yet? I went this afternoon. It was ok, I did laugh several times mainly at Joanna Lumley who is genius as Patsy but I was a little bit meh about it. Theres a cameo from just about everyone who has ever appeared in the TV series including Mo Gaffney as Bo (now identifying as a black woman), Kathy Burke as Mags, and loads more. It's also rammed with models and fashion people so is fun from that perspective. Rebel Wilson plays a budget airline cabin crew throwing plastic wrap sandwiches at passengers accompanied by Rylan Clark. Yes, that's the level! Anyway, it was worth a look. Especially as it's raining up here in Manc and only 15c  |

Not seen the film but did happen to be in London and in Leicester Square when the the premiere was happening, which was rather exciting!

I'd never seen the tv series but saw the film today as I fancied something light-hearted before a serious matinee (Alligators at Hampstead Downstairs) and did quite enjoy it. I'd only rate it 3 stars but I did laugh out loud a couple of times and it was a painless watch.

I enjoyed it but it did drag a bit in the middle and it uses the sitcom to film cliche of going to a foreign country. Joanna Lumley is still bloody brilliant as Patsy as is Jennifer Saunders as Eddie. There's so many cameos which I loved although surprised there was no Ade Edmondson, perhaps there was a scheduling conflict.

Oh I will say, (spoiler alert) I was disappointed one of the regular guests didn't appear.

I watched it on Friday. I did that groupon to get 5 odeon tickets for £20 so I didn't feel too ripped off.
Patsy is still fabulous as was her marriage partner.
Bubbles clothes stole the show.

Saw it last night. Always been an Ab Fab fan especially the early series so knew I would enjoy it.
Very funny and so many cameo performances that I will have to get the dvd just to see who was in it. I'm sure I caught a glimpse of Judith Chalmers.
Patsy wad fab.
Best line was Rebel Wilson as a trolly dolly who said "I'm the designated DCB. Don't care bitch" in going to use that today constantly at work.

Yes I liked Gabon too. There's a new clip which was obviously cut from the film where Patsy says 'Is it a bee?'
I don't know how to do spoilers to say who is missing.

No way! My best mate and I always do the 'is it a bee' line whenever a mobile goes off in public.
Can you DM me who is missing?

It's terrible. I didn't laugh once.. Neither did anyone else in the (packed) cinema.
Jennifer Saunders hasn't got a clue how to write something needing a storyline. Or jokes anymore.
