Watch St. Trinian's For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

That was an excellent one.

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

this movie is the stupidest thing that I ever. Not only is the plot unbelievable, the characters are cliché with absolutely no character development. the main character is annoying and the change form nerd to cool kid is so sudden that you wonder did you miss some thing. The one thing that keep me going is the small hope that some how she enter and become the moral compass of the house, that doesn't happen she is soon daft into the realm of nonsense completely losing me. some may say that this movie is good for a few giggles, but truly I couldn't even crack a smile. I feel sick watching the so called feminism, watching girls, yes GIRLS perform what the audience can only imagine as sexual favor for men. I say girls because when in the movie the often refer to the school as college. I don't know what age people go to college in great Britain but six year old and what I can only surmise is 16-17 yr. old aren't in college, so an adult Russell Brand hitting on the "heads girl" is totally inappropriate. what is worst is that is not the only thing wrong with this movie. from the girls selling bootleg vodka that is killing people to the teachers only reason for being there is to prove that the decrepit build is indeed a school. coupled with fact that the head mistress is a man. and more moments like that. this movie is stupid.

The opening scenes introduce us and new girl Annabelle Fritton to St. Trinian's School for girls; it isn't like other schools… the pupils run the place. Having come from the prestigious Cheltenham Ladies' College Annabelle is initially not impressed with the anarchy she finds in St. Trinian's but grows to fit in; especially after she learns that her father wants to have the place shut down and sold off. The school already owes half a million pounds to the bank so it looks as if it will close… if the girls can't think up a way to get the money. They have an idea but if they are to have a chance they will have to get to the finals of an inter-school TV quiz… because it will be filmed in the National Gallery and the picture they plan to steal is in there! It doesn't help of course that a new government minister wants to improve the education system, starting with St. Trinian's!I had heard some fairly negative things about this film but was determined to watch it with an open mind; I was soon chuckling and found plenty to laugh out during its hour and a half run time. It never took itself too seriously and the cast were a lot of fun to watch; Talulah Riley did a good job as protagonist Annabelle and even though she was a bit old to be playing a school girl Gemma Arterton was a lot of fun as head girl Kelly. There were plenty of well known British stars in the cast including Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Celia Imrie and Russell Brand amongst the cast as well as a number of unknowns. The story was of course very silly but then it wouldn't have been St. Trinian's if it hadn't been. The first half of the film where we are being introduced to the school and seeing the minister's attempts to show the press how bad it is was the funniest; when it got to the art robbery the jokes slowed down a bit and the producers felt it necessary to show that under their act they were not bad girls… which is a pity as half the fun of St Trinian's is that they are meant to be bad! Overall I thought this was a lot better than expected and should provide a decent number of laughs.

I don't often write reviews but after watching this again in my room with a bowl of crisps on my knee I feel the urge too. I laugh all the way through every time, I know exactly whats coming now as well, believe me i've seen this loads but every time I feel a little down in the dumps I just turn on this film and the happiness just bubbles up in me.I think the storyline is brill and I also love the pranks the kids pull, they are just so imaginative! I often wish i'd had the guts to do some of the things they did whilst I was at school but unfortunately being the goody too shoes I was I have to say I chickened out every time an opportunity arose.The make-over scene is one of my favourites, I love the stereotypical outfits each category of students wore and I think all of the girls looked brill in it. It makes me want to pull out my old school skirt and start slapping on the liner! The second one is also brill so if anyone reading this has not yet seen the second, then give it a go, i'm sure you'll laugh out loud!

This film is a lot more interesting if you are very familiar with Colin Firth, as it references some of his roles (Pride and Prejudice, and Girl with a Pearl Earring). There are scenes in the film that are exact duplicates, and the dog being named Mr. Darcy refers to his role.Of course the headmistress (Rupert Everett) is a dead ringer for a certain Duchess.I enjoyed Russell Brand as Flash, and I just loved Holly and Cloe Mackie as Tara and Tania. They were adorable.It was a enjoyable light comedy. A bit more edge and it would have been great.
