Review of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 23 Jul 2016

A sluggishly paced, generally unfunny theatrical adaptation of the British TV sitcom in search of a story to give the film structure and direction. While a few bits are moderately humorous, they come too few and far between to make the picture watchable.

When doing a screwball comedy of comeuppance, the jokes need to come rapid fire, but here it's like waiting for the bus during off-hours. Even fans of the show are likely to find this tedious. So, like many of this year's releases, again, wait for the DVD.
