Description

From the creators of Absolutely Fabulous, the uproarious BBC comedy series that started it all!

Look out Hollywood! Watch your back, TV-Land! Your greatest achievements (and not-so-great ones) are but playthings in the hands of Britain's best comediennes, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

Gentlemen Prefer French & Saunders See Dawn and Jennifer as Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, as opera divas recording a pop song, and as daughter and mother in the sketch that inspired Absolutely Fabulous.

At the Movies Spoofing movies is nothing Alien to French and Saunders, who cross genres like Thelma and Louise run roadblocks. So chase your Misery with a visit to The House of Idiot, and let The Silence of the Lambs be broken by shrieks of laughter.

Living in a Material World Madonna-Dawn and Madonna-Jennifer maintain their artistic integrity as they barbecue Baywatch, filet Fellini flicks, and broil Braveheart, Batman and Bergman.

The Ingenue Years The ultra-funny femmes fatales parody some of Hollywood's brightest stars, including Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day and Liza Minnelli.

On the Rocks Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, these mavens of mimicry board the Titanic to send up big-budget blockbusters, and the 'making of" documentaries that they spawn. Hosted by Joanna Lumley.

Back with a Vengeance Who, while watching Cold Mountain, didn't hope that French & Saunders would soon be back with a vengeance? French returns as Catherine Spartacus Zeta Douglas Jones, and Saunders beefs up for Troy.

Description

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders take on American television, pretentious foreign films and Madonna and that's just in the first fifteen minutes of this hilarious collection from their fifth series.

Amazon.com

Only Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders could possibly bring a humorous light to Ingmar Bergman: "Oh, God, is it going to be another Bergman day?" asks French in the bleak black-and-white takeoff, complete with Death coming to call. Even if you've never seen a Bergman film, you'll know enough to find this skit hilarious. In Living in a Material World, French and Saunders make fun of Madonna (Madonna Jennifer is dared to pretend she's blow-drying her hair), Fellini, Baywatch, Dr. Quinn (remade as Dr. Quimn, Mad Woman), Björk (French does a rhinestone-studded impersonation), young brides planning weddings, art galleries, and so much more. The dynamic duo behind Absolutely Fabulous star in this sketch-format series that succeeds like no other. --Jenny Brown

The comic duo behind Ab Fab bring their unique sense of humor to movies, music, magazines, and mid-morning television in this collection of classic spoofs. Includes Rock Stars and Their Toilets, Opera Divas, Womanly World, and the original Ab Fab sketch.

For Americans not familiar with the comic machinations of the oddball collaborative duo of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, this video is the perfect introduction. Taken from one season of their British sketch-comedy television series, this video contains a great variety of their work. Dawn French is probably best known in the U.S. for her PBS appearances on The Vicar of Dibley and Murder Most Horrid. In addition, she cowrote the disturbingly funny series Absolutely Fabulous, which is usually associated solely with Jennifer Saunders (who plays Edina).

French and Saunders excel at movie spoofs. Their talent for parody, combined with their excellent eye for wardrobe (notably the million hairstyles of Dawn French), make even their portrayals of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe realistic. They also include non-parodying sketches, two of the most hilarious being the original Absolutely Fabulous scene and a women's-magazine publisher sketch. Although sometimes their humor includes decidedly English gags and British personalities, the entertaining nature of the show is not truly compromised. Those who are familiar with the show will delight in the duo's talent at its best, and those not familiar will have a great entrée into the fantastically funny, bizarre world of French and Saunders. --Amanda Powter

Look out Hollywood! Watch your back, TV-Land! The silver screen will never be the same once it's been processed through the mad minds of Britain's greatest comediennes, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (the creator and star of Absolutely Fabulous).

Is this compilation of sketches from groundbreaking British comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders' 1987 BBC series absolutely brilliant or, to quote one especially inspired performance artists sketch, "mindless, pornographic, pretentious, and total crap"? Though hit and miss as any compilation tends to be, it is mostly brilliant as our fair ladies engage in Pythonesque absurdity (an 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). Some of this is inevitably dated, and there are references that will soar over the heads of non-Anglophiles, but fans who discovered these two titanically talented women from their breakthrough series, The Vicar of Dibley and Absolutely Fabulous, respectively, will enjoy seeing the roots of their comedy. --Donald Liebenson

The comedy duo of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders return in full splendor! Each has gained greater fame individually (in The Vicar of Dibley and Absolutely Fabulous, respectively), but delightfully ridiculous things happen when they combine their powers--crazed and surreal humor they could never fit into any other forum. In one sketch they play Renaissance stylists, sullenly assisting Boticelli with the costume and hair design for his classic painting of Venus; in another, they're a pair of retired Englishwomen in Florida, ecstatic to the point of madness over the abundance of American food. Rather than simply mocking Cold Mountain, they mock the movie and Nicole Kidman's vapid audio commentary on the DVD. Weaving in and out of the comic routines is a meta-sketch about the creation of the entire special, in which the pair depict themselves as lazy, fatuous, arrogant narcissists whose only redeeming feature is that their producer is even more ignorant and incompetent than they are. French and Saunders skewer female excess like no one else--in a holiday special included as a bonus, French does a devastating version of Catherine Zeta-Jones giddily reveling in her success, giving a Christmas speech as the Queen of Wales. The loopiness of the best bits defies description; their rapport and timing are simply exquisite. It's a pleasure to be in their company again. --Bret Fetzer
