BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

ygwerin1 Why oh why did this film company bother to even consider a remake of these classic British comedies? To be worth doing at all it needs to have some kind of originality with a totally new take on the whole story line. Not simply a pale pastiche with a play on the sexual innuendo of 'naughty schoolgirls' or as some kind of homage to the original films or their actors. This film and its sequel are complete and utter dross, any of the original four films are infinitely preferable to this rubbish. Rupert Everett is terrible in the dual role being far too camp and absolutely no Alastair Sim, and as for Russell Brand he is a travesty as Flash Harry and is not fit to stand in George Cole's shadow.

georgia_cushion I love this film! It's mainly a girlie film but boys won't say no! It's so funny and I think that there were a lot of very good actors in this, especially Gemma Arterton. It had a great story-line and it seemed to flow nicely. I think that the 12 age rating was suitable but I think the 15 Ireland rating was a bit harsh as there are a few sex references and the girls do dress very tarty, but it's all for the comedic effect. As soon as this came out on DVD it was on my shelf. This is one of my favorite films ever and anyone will like it, even my parents did! Overall I would say that St. Trinians is a funny film, ideal for girlie sleepovers. I would rate it 9/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone 10-11+.

Al The brilliant artwork ideas of Ronald Searle gave birth to the brilliant concept of St. Trinians.The film remains faithful to the original concept and spirit, the girls are the kindest delinquents ever known and the characters are all as lovable as they were in the original films which delighted me when I was at school.It's good to enjoy a bit of escapism and this film is the perfect answer, those born after the 60s may not realise how popular and loved the St.Trinian's films were, so any revival is welcome, especially one done as well as this.

gradyharp ST. TRINIAN'S seems like an awful bust, unless the extremes of slapstick and borderline taste are your bailiwick. It is a film that comes across as a cartoon that never can get out off the page - what one would expect when the 'writer' is a committee (Piers Ashworth, Jamie Minoprio, Nick Moorcroft, Ronald Searle (!), and Jonathan M. Stern) and the direction is shared (Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson). St Trinian's is 'school' for dysfunctional girls (nerd to goth) run by a wild headmistress Camilla Fritton (Rupert Everett in bucktoothed drag plus fuddy English gent's clothes as Carnaby Fritton). The school is a major disaster zone and one Geoffrey Thwaites (Colin Firth) is sent to correct the issues. The threat of bankruptcy spins its own dire consequences and the 'inmates' of the school find a way to correct that. The major surprise is not in the plot but instead in the fact that some of Britain's finest actors agreed to participate in this mess: Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Toby Jones, Anna Chancellor, Celia Imre, etc etc could have their choice of about any film casting and win Oscars and kudos instead of boodos. It gives pause...Grady Harp
