What a lot of tosh!
The snobby criticism, not the film. Actually, St Trinians 2 is perfectly faithful to the spirit of the original St Trinians films. Those films were not masterpieces, they were typical examples of British humour, with silly plots and characters the public could relate to.
ST2 has a good script, it's funny, sassy and is basically a school pantomime on film. It is not crude or vulgar and I felt quite comfortable watching it with a 9 year old. I quite admire that the filmakers don't set out to oversexualize the girls. One of the themes of the film, in fact, is feminism and Ms Fritton's speech to the sisterhood before going into battle is a highlight. There was also a shocking revelation about Shakespeare, which has totally changed my view of the plays.
On the subject of Ms Fritton, Alastair Sim is often described as an acting genius, which he was, but Rupert Everett is surely as skilled and as lovable a comic actor. If I were a producer I'd be finding vehicles for this brilliant man. David Tennant and Colin Firth do good too.
The actors playing the St Trinian girls get the best bits, though, and have the most fun, dressing up as chavs (sorry, rude girls), geeks, emos and princesses. They do it well, they do it with style. Each tribe held its own, loyalty to the school and to the sisterhood coming first.
Great dialogue, daft plot, colourful costumes and popular music - pure panto. Makes ya proud to be British.

If you watched and enjoyed the first St Trinians film then you will definitely like this! If you have not seen either, then I'd say you could easily watch this one without having seen the first one.
This film obviously wouldnt win any awards, but who cares because it is not supposed to be taken seriously. There are some fab british actors in it, including Colin Firth, Rupert Everett and David Tennant, and you can see they are having fun playing the eccentric characters.
This film probably would appeal mostly to girls aged 8 to 15 but I'm in my early twenties and I liked it! It is quite funny at times and has a great soundtrack!

Some big names in the cast. What were they at?
With leading British actors such as Colin Firth, David Tennant and Toby Jones you'd expect a movie to be quite good, even if it does have St. Trinians in the title. Read more

Bit weak compared to the first.
This film lacks the zaniness of the original films and the first remake. It is ok and easy to watch but lacks comedy.

Very good
Delivered quickly and is what it says on the label, different angle from the first film, missing Russel Brand. Enjoyable none the less.

St Trinians 2
This DVD is a reasonable DVD, well priced and good quality for money. This wasn't as good as the original St Trinians, but is good for some 'easy watching'.

The first is better, this one is good fun
My family and I absolutely adore the first St. Trinian's film, and so we were of course eager to see the second. Read more

AWESOME!
the second films tend not to be so good, but this isnt the case with St Trinians 2! Just as good as the first! x
