Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

studioAT With the cartoons and original films as a starting point this re-imagining of the St Trinian's world was well welcomed by audiences upon this film's release.It boasts a game cast of big names (Colin Firth, Rupert Everett) all giving it a good go, and there's some nice laughs along the way.It's not a masterpiece, but for an hour and a half's entertainment this is good fun.

RavenGlamDVDCollector I struggled watching it at first, I missed a whole lot of what was actually said, and I refuse to use subtitles on the virgin flight. I felt that the characters made too little impression on me, they're not likable, and the whole thing was kinda over the top simply for the sake of being over the top. Then, a bit before nearing the halfway mark came that song that beautifully fitted in with the theme and tied everything up with a nice bow.Uh-oh, we're in trouble Something's come along and it's burst our bubbleAnd it is just so damn cute that it made me see the whole flick in a positive new light! There is an absolute wealth of detail. The film oozes surprises popping up in the backgrounds. There is such an absolute lot going on here, the flick gets an A+ for effort, heart and spirit. The pupils are a deranged lot. Everybody is busy as beavers being deeply anti-social, except those at the wrong end of the stick.After the song warmed my heart, I was more in tune with the movie. These misfits have to be cheered for! And the subtitles were, of course, finally used, and there aren't complaints from me anymore. Movie has a cult following, and I can see why.A better title : GIRLS TOGETHER. Or ST. TRINIAN'S GIRLS TOGETHER. I just realized how much it would be misunderstood. But meant by me in the sense of 'standing together overcoming all opposition'... Movie has a cartoonish* style with a deluge of over the top characters. Including Rupert Everett in a dual role, which is kinda ludicrous to the extreme, a whole troop of little savage girls, some of them horrid little white-faced Goths (or Satanists?) :) and bigger girls wielding hockey sticks like deadly weapons. Also a little leg-humping dog. *Inspired by the works of Robert SearleBy the way, just learned scant minutes ago re ST. TRINIAN'S BATTLE OF THE SEXES, and it rather sounds like a remake of ALL I WANNA DO.

Jackson Booth-Millard At the time of its release this was a sort of largely advertised British film, and I may have seen it mentioned on Film 2007 with Jonathan Ross, and it is based on a bunch of original films in a series, I had to see what the fuss was. Basically St. Trinian's is the all girls boarding school in London, England that proudly boasts itself as the rock bottom and unacceptable face of British education, allowing bad behaviour, bad teaching and uncontrollable stuff for the troublesome girls who attend, but not everyone knows this information. The latest girl to join the school is Annabelle Fritton (Talulah Riley), daughter of Carnaby Fritton (National Movie Award nominated Rupert Everett), who is the brother of the dotty school headmistress Camilla Fritton (also Everett), she is at first like a fish out of water, but after a while she does fit in. The school is facing bankruptcy and closure unless things improve, and personally having a look around seeing that things improve is the new Minister of Education, Geoffrey Thwaites (National Movie Award nominated Colin Firth), who didn't realise Miss Fritton was the headmistress, she is his old flame. The students are planning a way to try and get the money they need to keep the school open, with the help of con artists and master robbery guy Flash (Russell Brand), they are planning to steal the painting made famous by Scarlett Johansson, the Girl with a Pearl Earring. They plan to do this on the night when St. Trinian's is taking part in a television school quiz, like University Challenge, hosted by Stephen Fry, playing against Cheltenham Ladies' College, they are doing it in the building the painting is hanging, and in the end they do save the day selling it off. Also starring Quantum of Solace's National Movie Award nominated Gemma Arterton as Kelly, Venus's Jodie Whittaker as Beverly, Atonement's Juno Temple as Celia, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' Kathryn Drysdale as Taylor, Antonia Bernath as Chloe, Amara Karan as Peaches, Keeping Mum's Tamsin Egerton as Chelsea, Doctor Who's Lily Cole as Polly, singer Paloma Faith as Andrea, Holly Mackie as Tara, Cloe Mackie as Tania, Celia Imrie as Matron, Doctor Who's Fenella Woolgar as Miss Cleaver, 300's Lena Headey as Miss Dickinson, Doctor Who's Toby Jones as Bursar, Casino Royale's Caterina Murino as Miss Maupassant, Dinner for Schmucks' Lucy Punch as Verity Thwaites, Four Weddings and a Funeral's Anna Chancellor as Miss Bagstock, Lenny in Pieces' Steve Furst as Bank Manager, Mischa Barton as JJ French, The Haunted Mansion's Nathaniel Parker as Chairman of the National Gallery and Girls Aloud (Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh). The all British of young stars and the older recognisable ones all do well, the story is reasonably simple, and most of the slapstick, cross dressing and dialogue gags do make you chuckle a fair amount, so overall this a surprisingly good return from a formerly successful series of films, a fun family comedy. It was nominated the National Movie Award for Best Comedy. Worth watching!

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+.
