Movie Reviews of Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 2
Movie Review: Ab Fab is awesome as always, but might sound a little different...
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me echo all the stellar reviews given for this series. HOWEVER, I do need to bring up one small quibble. As due to music licensing issues, all of the episodes in the Series 2 DVD do not have "Wheel's on Fire" as the theme tune, instead being replaced by similar generic music. This apparently also affects the instances in which you'd hear dialogue during the end credits, as the generic music drowns all that out. This is also the series of Ab Fab, I believe, that has the infamous "Like a Prayer" edit.
I am not discouraging you from buying the DVD, but as backup, save your BBC Video VHS or tapings from Comedy Central or whatever. Strangely, the original music is intact on Series 1 and 3 of the original three. If there's any edits I didn't notice on those, someone please let me know.
Summary of Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 2

Featuring exciting DVD extras such as Rare Outtakes Photo Galleries and Animated Menus!Running Time: 180 min.System Requirements:Running Time 180 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?NR UPC:?794051237828Everyone knew that Jennifer Saunders was funny from her years of comedy specials with Dawn French as French & Saunders; but who would have thought that Joanna Lumley, previously best known as Patrick Macnee's girl-spy sidekick on The New Avengers, was such a bang-on comedienne? In the second series of Absolutely Fabulous, every appearance of human gargoyle Patsy Stone (Lumley, looking like the mutant love child of Keith Richards and Ivana Trump) is a comic tour de force--she slumps into a room like a marionette with its strings cut, unleashes a rotting-corpse grin or a reptilian scowl, supports Edina in every half-wit scheme and leaches off of her like an intestinal parasite. Series 2 is pretty bang-on throughout and manages to give the characters--Patsy, infantile p.r. agent Edina Monsoon (Saunders), Edina's long-suffering daughter Saffron (Julia Sawalha, Chicken Run), Edina's mother (June Whitfield, co-star of many Carry On movies), and Edina's dimwitted assistant Bubble (Jane Horrocks, Life is Sweet)--greater emotional range without losing an iota of scathing humor. Face-lifts, Morocco, alimony, rebirthing, and the death of Edina's father are all fodder for sharp, unflinching satire. But the core theme of the season is the unhealthily enmeshed friendship between Edina and Patsy, which sparks jealousy and backbiting but, when the chips are down (or the champagne and diet pills running low), an undying loyalty. Truly one of the richest and funniest Britcoms of all time. --Bret Fetzer
