First let me say that Jennifer Saunders is a brilliant actor and comedian. She is a brilliant comic writer. Which is why it is so sad to see her talents not realized in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. There was such an urgency to include too much that there were so many missed opportunities for the film to have any real meaning. Gloria Bing could have lost Kate Moss as a client and Eddy and Gloria could have had a battle of butt kissing that would have been hilarious. On the plane, they could have thought they had first class tickets, sat down in FC, be treated llike royalty until it is discovered they are on the wrong plane and are forced to fly a low cost carrier and sit with whinny kids, a person with BO, etc. They could have employed their Little Britain friends to do the Come Fly With Me characters.There should have been a confrontation between Safron and Patsy. The police chasing Patsy and Eddy should have been drawn out and comical. Leaving Safron's daughter at the hotel to work as a maid should have been as meaningful as when Patsy sold Saffy in Morocco. They should have been detained at the airport for Patsy's suspicious items and had her inspected to where she enjoys it. A bomb threat at the airport or a fire alarm provides their escape or something from the airport. The one Patsy was going to marry should have been drawn out. Patsy gets to go to bed with him and dies in the middle of love making or something, spoiling their plans. She steals what she can from the house and makes a get away. When she marries the richest woman, she has to put a strap-on and doesn't know how to use. A comical scene could happen when she uses other items - a banana, a shoe, something funny. Before leaving for France, "Tickets, money, passport" was missing. Again, failed opportunities. I love AbFab and Jenifer Saunders which is why I was so disappointed with the movie. Too many failed opportunities.
