Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots. But when they accidentally push Kate Moss into the river Thames at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm surrounding the supermodel’s untimely demise. Fleeing penniless to French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more. [mp]

Declaration
film director
“I’m desperately fond of Jennifer Saunders. She’s not just a terrific writer, but she’s also an extraordinary performer. With most performers, you get a good performance, but it’s grounded. But there’s something about Jennifer where, if you give her a moment, she’ll cut the strings and float above. Plus, she now has a confidence in herself which, I believe, has made for something very special in this film, because she’s touching as well. This film is not just all about broad comedy, about falling over and getting drunk. There’s an honesty and a truth which underlies the whole thing, and that gives it a consequence”.
