St. Trinian's Reviews
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011
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.

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

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.

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
Sadly, the movie is a zoo.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | 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.

Rupert Everett also expertly mangles the plum role once inhabited by Alastair Sim.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 5, 2009
Lacking any really sharp dialogue, the film just about goes the distance by juggling its characters in short, sketch-like scenes and inserting occasional musical montages.

When you look at it again, the old film was not only superior but rather more radical. This St Trinian's looks as if it is aiming at the lowest common denominator, and finding it too often.

The old St Trinian's movies with Alistair Sim weren't exactly comedy classics, but they look like gold next to this feeble, sloppily written caper.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2007
no girl or boy over the age of 12 would be attracted by anything so puerile, while its UK certificate and occasionally risqu subject matter rule out under-12s.
| Dec 21, 2007
Camp fun, and catnip for a demographic that British cinema doesn't often bother to please.
| Dec 21, 2007
A monumentally naff film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 21, 2007
Colin Firth's humiliation is a thing of wonder. His entire career on screen and stage is beautifully sent up before our eyes.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2007
that 'jolly hockey sticks' vibe feels outmoded with the only efforts to update the concept being shorter skirts and push-up bras.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2007
The target audience - pre-teen girls - aren't going to notice the many shortfalls behind the camera. What they'll enjoy, regardless of quality, is some naughtiness true to the spirit of the series, Russell Brand and Girls Aloud.
