  • Starring: Gemma Arterton, Rupert Everett, Talulah Riley
  • Summary: St Trinian’s, the infamous school for ‘young ladies’ is once again facing dire financial crisis! The bank are threatening headmistress Camilla Fritton with closure. Her unorthodox doctrine of free expression and self empowerment is also under threat from new Education Minister Geoffrey Thwai Thwaits, an old flame of Camilla’s who is determined to bring discipline and order to the anarchic school. In true St Trinian style the girls are in a league of their own; smart, fearless and determined to defend the school they love to the end. They need to unite the warring girl gang cliques and come up with the cash fast to save the school. (NeoClassics Fims)… Expand

    Sadly, the movie is a zoo.

    Can be enjoyed in all its endearing awfulness, as a loony "High School Musical" with posher accents and a lot more going on upstairs.

    Anyone with a fondness for the midcentury cartoons and films that inspired this scrappy comedy will appreciate the latest trip to the titular British boarding school.

    Bad in ways that are almost endearing, St. Trinian's does offer the spectacle of Rupert Everett mincing around in drag as a headmistress bedeviled by Colin Firth, as an education minister and former lover who wants to shut down her out-of-control school.

    I actually found the film a pleasant homage to the original. It has the same mad-cap pacing and has excellent cast with highly entertaining characters. It's predictable, but sweet. And the plot is silly but satisfying.

    Perhaps not a perfect ten movie, more of an eight or seven really, but it deserves higher then a zero so I'm marking up a little. It's good for a night with a nice meal, a bit too much wine and a few friends over. If you're looking to act like a movie critic and hate this movie i'm sure you wouldn't have too much trouble, but give it a chance and you might enjoy yourself. Oh, and watch one of the originals first! they're still great!    … Expand

    This is a movie of absolute blinding stupidity and incompetent filmaking. How Colin Firth got involved in this mess is astonishing. Mischa Barton, who only has a walk on part in the film and yet recieved top billing was clearly conned and should file a law suit. Russel Brand however has no excuse. Every joke, every gag, every scenario is a poorly executed cliche. The hack writing and even worse delivery are an affront to comedic acting as an artform. Rupert Everett, who stars in (clumsily in a dual role) and produced this apocolypse of base humor appears to be responsible. Whats even more unbelivable is that apparently a sequal has been made, when in my opinion everyone involved in this mess should be banned from any involvement in motion pictures for the rest of their careers. That includes the caterers.… Expand
