| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

The actors are left grasping for laughs as the script tries to figure out just what it wants to be.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 3, 2010

... this Animal House of private girls schools is a motley misfit of a misfit comedy that offers outrageous antics in place of actual humor.

| Jan 27, 2010

The result is too competent to be a travesty and too ordinary to be interesting.

Firth looks like he's changing his mind about being in this movie WHILE the cameras are running.

Full Review | Oct 19, 2009

Every scene is so frantic and desperate to make you laugh, to be clever, to be naughty and none of it worked.

Full Review | Oct 19, 2009

St. Trinian's is a painless onslaught of dumb gags, gratuitous cheesecake, random movie allusions, and general nonsense, but the classy cast (which includes Gemma Arterton, Toby Jones, and Stephen Fry) helps earn it a passing grade.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 14, 2009

I suspect this boorish, crude, often vulgar British comedy lost a great deal of its jolly credence whilst crossing the Atlantic.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 10, 2009

A tame, glittery spoof without a brain in its head or a character worth caring about.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 10, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

A stunningly witless revival of the infamous British film series about a girls' boarding school.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 9, 2009

St. Trinian's is a hoot, but it's thrown-together, haphazard feel will only grate on the sensibilities of cineastes or aesthetic and moral prudes bent on decrying "yoof" culture -- although it's only moderately rude by contemporary standards.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Sadly, the level of deviance hovers around iCarly levels, as does the sophistication of the humor.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Oct 9, 2009

Bad in ways that are almost endearing...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 9, 2009

Quirky British boarding-school comedy has iffy messages.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2009

Sadly, the movie is a zoo.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 8, 2009

indifferent to storytelling, craft and, dare I mention, fresh ideas

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 8, 2009

With the right attitude this cheerfully calculated effort to update the old girl for a tween market can be enjoyed in all its endearing awfulness, as a loony High School Musical with posher accents and a lot more going on upstairs.

| Oct 6, 2009

Rupert Everett also expertly mangles the plum role once inhabited by Alastair Sim.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 5, 2009

Rowdy 12-year-old British girls might get some modicum of narcissistic pleasure from "St. Trinian's" (loosely based on Ronald Searle's WWII era cartoons), but no one else will.
