When ‘Lady’ Sandra Abbott (Staunton) discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair, she seeks refuge with her estranged sister Bif (Imrie) in London. The two couldn’t be more different.

Sandra is a fish out of water next to her outspoken, bohemian sibling. But when Bif drags her along to a community dance class, Sandra’s world is transformed. With unexpected friendships, romance, and a holiday in Rome on the horizon, Sandra finds the courage to reinvent herself.

Featuring an acclaimed British cast led by Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie, Timothy Spall and Joanna Lumley, Finding Your Feet is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy proving it’s never too late to start again.

The film’s numerous faults mostly lie in the script. It’s so by the numbers, it seem Saunders wrote it in her sleep. But this misses the film’s main appeal, that of getting to hang out with Eddy and Patsy again. Saunders’ success in roping in most of the original actors from the multiple seasons of the television show also adds to the appeal. The well-chosen cameos are just icing on the cake.

The story revolves around Kate Moss; copious quantities of mind-altering substances, parties and well, that’s about it. There is no real character enlightenment and everyone seems little changed from the years since the show’s last run. Even being the feature length film that it is, it plays out more like an extended telly movie.

All these criticisms aside though, the film is just a fun trip down memory lane and keeping all the player’s narcissistic tendencies and selfish behaviours intact is the way it should be. Because who really wants to see a kinder and more mature Ab Fab?
