Watch: The Absolutely Fabulous Movie Trailer Lives Up to Its Name

Fox Searchlight Pictures just dropped the full-length trailer for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, and not since Sex and the City have we been this excited to shell out a crisp Andrew Jackson — can’t wait to say Harriet Tubman — to watch our favorite fashionable sitcom characters run amok on the silver screen.

The premise is simple: Longtime best friends Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) and Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders), a magazine editor and PR agent respectively, are just where we left them: united by their affinity for self-destructive behavior and desperate desire to stay young and hip. At the start of the film, the two attend “London’s biggest fashion event of the year,” where Edina unwittingly knocks the legendary Kate Moss into the Thames, earning her the ire of all of Britain (most notably a brick-wielding Stella McCartney). Patsy sagely decides it would be best for them to skip town and lay low in the South of France where “everyone’s a criminal.”

As always with our reprehensible comic heroes, even more hijinks ensue. Julia Sawalha reprises her role as the tried but true Saffy, Jane Horrocks appears as the blundering Bubble and, of course, no Ab Fab adventure would be complete without the sarcasm of June Whitfield’s Mother.

As if you didn’t have enough reason to watch, the film’s list of cameos puts Zoolanders 1 and 2 and the Twin Peaks revival to shame — Kate Moss, Daisy Lowe, Stella McCartney, Christopher Biggins, Poppy Delevingne, Jon Hamm, Beattie Edmondson, Alex Jones, Dawn French, Graham Norton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sophie Raworth, Nick Grimshaw, Alexa Chung, Kirsty Wark, Perez Hilton, Alesha Dixon, Abbey Clancey, Tinie Tempah, Nick Grimshaw, La Roux, Dame Edna Everage, Chris Colfer, Richard Arnold, Robert Webb, Jeremy Paxman, Giles Deacon, Pam Hogg, Ozwald Boateng, Lily Cole, Brix Smith-Start, Rylan Clarke, Jamie Laing, Sadie Frost, Anya Hindmarch, Bruno Tonioli, Jerry Hall, Ella Eyre, Gwendoline Christie, Janette Tough, Suki Waterhouse, Wanda Ventham, Bip Ling, Camilla Rutherford, Foxes, Mark Gatiss, Miquita Oliver, La Voix, Daniel Lismore, Suzy Menkes, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Collins, Daniel Lismore, Judith Chalmers, Marcia Warren, Orla Guerin, Kelly Hoppen, Jodie Harsh, Nick Mohammed, Kathy Lette, Jade Parfitt, Alice Dellal, Lulu, Lara Stone and Rebel Wilson all make an appearance. Unlike its protagonists, Absolutely Fabulous has no trouble staying relevant.
