Rating:  - If you are a fan ...
I bought collection for my girlfriend.
She loves it, as does her niece (who borrowed it and has not given it back yet ... lol).
I used to watch the series on public broadcasting. It's no Faulty Towers but it's one of the funnier English comedies.
Rating:  - Could be a lot more Fabulous.
I've been a huge "Absolutely Fabulous" fan since Comedy Central started airing in my area and luckily, at the time, "Ab Fab" still in it's first run here in the states. Back then, it was very fun to watch "Ab Fab" because while it had frequent commercial breaks, they were also very short, sometimes often running only one ad! That changed quickly.
Anyway, easily the first three seasons/"series" of the show where the peak and everything else kind of pails in comparison, where slightly or greatly. In the case of "Absolutley Fabulous: Absolutely Special", the distance each of the two specials has from those episodes affects their greatness.
"The Last Shout" was meant to be that but it has no real satisfying ending. It came rather shortly after "Series 3", which seemed to wrap up loose ends with a funny ending that shows a possible future. In
"The Last Shout", the main stories have Edina and Patsy vacationing in a ski resort town in order to mingle with celebrities (the celebs aren't there, for whatever reason) while Saffy meets the possible man of her dreams. Eddie and Patsy pack in the laughs (Eddie is wackier than ever with 60s music scenes that pop up anytime she is stressed while Patsy struggles to perform the simplest function by attending a meeting and saying one brief statement on pants). The gags, side stories and behavior bring in the laughs even if the dominating Saffy storyline (which runs through two parts while the ski trip is only in the first) ... Read More
Rating:  - Hate To Say It, But A Letdown
First off, let me say that I LOVE AbFab. But, this isn't the best of it. 'The Last Shout' is the better of the two, I think, but neither really finds the old timing and freshness.
'In New York' was completely disappointing (except for the segment where Whoopi Goldberg "Marries" Edina and Patsy: one has the sense that THAT scene was inevitable.) Meeting Serge was a letdown. In the commentary on Season 4 for the program about Saffy writing a play about her life, Jennifer Saunders said we would never see the real Serge. I think she was right in that thought - and should not have produced him in this program. Of course, he turned out to be gay, and the exact opposite of his crazy mother. Saffron is Edina's opposite as well, but at least she gives as well as she gets. Serge, on the other hand, looked vulnerable, and didn't seem to have the self-esteem to stand his ground. Showing Serge wasn't funny and didn't advance the series. Probably should not have been done.
The best part of 'The Last Shout' was having Marianne Faithfull play God (a role she reprises in Season 4). Most of the rest of it seemed forced.
Sorry. I really wanted to like these programs more than I did.
Rating: - Absolutely, positively FABULOUS!!
As an avid fan, I own almost all the Ab-Fab DVD's, so I was happy to see one listed that I didn't have and had never seen. I took a chance, since the price was so reasonable, and am I ever glad I did!! While Edina and Patsy are always over the top, they are both in rare form on this one. This DVD is a MUST HAVE for your collection. I laughed literally from the opening scene to the very end. This is one of the funniest Ab-Fab's EVER!! From the dolphin, to the snowboarding, to Saffron's boyfriend, to the long lost son "Serge" and everything in between, you will LOVE this DVD and if you're anything like me, you'll watch it again and again!! Edina and Patsy...you are awesome!! Thanks for making me laugh in a stressful world.
Rating: - Those Crazy AbFab Gals
