Customer Reviews of Gentlemen Prefer French & Saunders
Meet the duo who got the "Ab Fab" craze started If you can't get enough of the brilliant Brit-com "Absolutely Fabulous", then you really should take a look at a French & Saunders video. This crazy duo have no problem ... on anyone or anything. In this particular video, you'll see F&S crack on "Gone With the Wind", "Dangerous Liasons", and do their own unique version of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (except theirs is called "Whatever Happened to Baby Dawn?")Their original sketches just go to show how very clever and funny they are (in one sketch, they even poke fun at themselves- Hah!). F&S are a brilliant comedic pairing that should not be missed or underrated. Incidentally, this video contains the original sketch featuring Edina and Saffy Monsoon. Fabulous!
It's to "AbFab" as "Fawlty Towers" is to "Monty Python."
Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders emerged on the British comedy scene as one of the new crop of performers who began at the "Comic Strip" club. This clan produced great TV comedy throughout the '80s & '90s, much to America's indifference: "The Young Ones (the most successful of the bunch stateside)," "The Comic Strip Presents...," "Bottom," "Filthy, Rich, & Catflap," and "French & Saunders." Then, Jennifer Saunders wrote and starred in a program based on a sketch from a "French & Saunders" show called "Absolutely Fabulous." Of course, it became an worldwide hit and put Saunders on the map. "AbFab" is unquestionably brilliant and Edina Monsoon a fantastic creation but the fact that Yanks love "AbFab" while remaining ignorant of "French & Saunders" is like having people love John Cleese's "Fawlty Towers" while never having seen his work in "Monty Python's Flying Circus." "French & Saunders," being a sketch show, covers a wider range of subjects and humor than "AbFab" and reveals Dawn French as a formidable talent on her own and a perfect compliment to Saunders. Many of the shows parody popular films and musical acts and, while some pieces may be very dry, others are rather vulgar and savage. Personally, I think these shows are greater than "AbFab" in that there is so much more in them - including the full breadth of Saunders talent (both women have an endless stream of diverse characters inside them). Grab this disc and discover what they already know overseas: that French & Saunders are the greatest comedy team of the past 20 years!
F&S - Better than S&M!
"Gentlemen Prefer French and Saunders" is truly the best of the 4 F&S DVD's. I bought the "Set", and what a bargain! I watched the first three DVD's today, and laughed for hours. If you are looking for some silly, yet witty entertainment I suggest these DVD's. I have begun to refer to F&S as "Monty-Pyfemme. A wonderful addition to my growing BBC DVD library! Make sure to watch the bonus sections - usually they are the best parts.
