"Maidens of St Trinians gird your armour on..." for a brill movie!I was nervous about this latest St Trinian's film. I'm a die-hard fan of the old movies and was worried that this would be a poor attempt to resurrect what were perfect comedies of years gone by.
I was, however, wrong to be afraid of this new breed of St Trinian's girls and their teachers - though I don't think I'd like to get on the wrong side of the little minxes!
This film is perfectly judged, cast, scripted and realised. I couldn't have wished for a better surprise Christmas pressie! If you liked the originals and are open-minded enough to open your heart to this new incarnation then this is the DVD for you.
Magnificent and top marks!
GREATthis is such a good film for a wet afternoon great for kids and parents alike i definatly recommend
Great film, a credit to the St.Trinians nameI have been a great fan of the original series of films and it was with some trepidation that I watched this, half expecting another really bad re-styling of a British comedy classic like Carry On Columbus. I was very surprised to find that not only being amazingly funny and enjoyable the film kept up with the same style as the originals.
Russell Brand made a superb Flash Harry and was as good as George Cole. Rupert Everett gave perhaps his best ever performance along with Colin Firth providing a love story that manages to lampoon previous roles without requiring the audience to understand the references.
Fantastic!!I wasn't sure about it to start with but i watched it at a friends house and it was great. You may think it's just about a girl called Annabel Fritton being sent to St Trinnians, worst school ever but it's more than that. Their is the relationship between the headmistress (Rupert Everett) and the education minister (Colin Firth). And the plan to save St Trinians. I liked the fact they included Chavs, Emos, Geeks ect in it and it made it quite funny. It's hilarious though some of the comedy is quite grusome. I recommend you buying it!
Avoid!! Get Mean Girls insteadThis was a terrible film. About as low class as you can possibly get in a film, the fact Russell Brand is in it tells it's own story. How Colin Firth got roped into this disaster i have no idea, it's damaging his reputation. Unprofessional, amateurish, shambles. If you want a great movie in the same genre, go see Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan, that was superbly done:) Failing that, 13 going on 30 was also very good.
