5.0 out of 5 stars Comedy on television will never be the same!, March 6, 2000

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Last Shout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although deemed a "movie," The Last Shout is more or less two episodes of the hilarios BBC comedy Absolutely Fabulous. After only 18 episodes the creator of this masterpiece, Jennifer Saunders, called it quits. I often wonder if it was a career mistake for Miss Saunders, however, AbFab will live forever.

This 1996 "movie" picks up where the last episode entitled 'The End' left off. Eddie and Patsy go off on a skiing trip where Eddie comes face to face with God (in this case a rather stunningly beautiful Marianne Faithful in an equally stunning electric blue suit). God tells Eddie it is not her turn and she has much more to do. And that she does as Saffie is planning a wedding to Paolo.

The second part of the episode centers around the planning and execution of this wedding. As always, it leaves you breathless.

The great thing about AbFab is that you can watch them over and over and never really get tired of them. Comedy hasn't been quite the same without the fresh airing of new episodes. We can only hope for a reunion. Ebay and other online auctions always seem to have AbFab merchandise, some are getting rather pricey as they are out-of-print and are becoming quite rare. So if you haven't got on the AbFab train, perhaps you should think about it...Sweetie darling, it's absolutley fabulous!

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Last Shout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Just when you thought you'd never laugh that hard ever again, Eddie and Patsy are at it one last time, with Saffy about to walk down the aisle in desperation, Patsy homeless (these scenes are hilarious), and Eddie about to meet God. Without the almost-innocent quality of the original series, the laughs are still fresh, and the relationship between the two is as strong as ever. The ending is fun, too -- the real ending and also the fact that the producers threw in a few outtakes. I'm glad I got this one. It makes a nice closure to the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where the heck is Bubble!, March 14, 2000

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Last Shout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"~With the legendary "Monty Python: The Holy Grail" and a few skits from the " Benny Hill Show" as exceptions, I find British Comedy to be stale. good as the series. Edina and Patsy were thier usual bitchy, haughty, overindulgent, loveable selves. Those two will always have a special place in my heart, but Grand's clique of old folks annoyed the hell out of me and were totally unwatchable. The movie was good as long as you got the old fast forward button working whenever the old folks appear. But what broke my heart the most is that Edina's airheaded secretary, Bubble, was not in this one! How dare they do this! Overall, this movie was okay, but I would recommend to viewers to check out the regular series for AbFab's best work.
