Twenty years after the premiere of Jennifer Saunders' outstanding sitcom, Edina (Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) hit the big screen. Here, the pair are forced to hide out in the south of France after attracting media and police attention for accidentally knocking Kate Moss into the River Thames.
The ageing party girls - still trying to keep those bygone drug-and-alcohol-fueled days rolling - find themselves at the centre of a major incident at an uber-fashionable launch party. Blamed for the carnage, 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.

The Telegraph
The Telegraph"Basically, Joanna Lumley saves this film: she has an imperishable hauteur and comedy-charisma. She is the garden bridge that stops this film from collapsing into the Thames."
