Look out Hollywood! Watch your
back, TV Land! The silver screen will never be the same once it's been
processed thought the mad minds of Britain's greatest comedienne, Dawn
French and Jennifer Saunders (the creator and star of Absolutely
Fabulous). Their 1987 BBC series is absolutely brilliant or, to quote
one especially inspired performance artists sketch, "mindless,
pornographic, pretentious and total crap". French and Saunders are
brilliant as our fair ladies engage in Pythonesque absurdity (en
extended conversation that begins when a couch-bound Jennifer refuses
to answer the door because she has no leg bones), silliness (the girls
pay homage to popular dances) and savagery (two matrons who prefer
their blood-splattered furs freshly killed). Zany and painfully funny! |
