Amazon.co.uk Review:
To some extent, the team behind the revival of St. Trinian's were on a bit of a hiding to nothing. The old films, contextualised by a far different age, were knockabout, energetic, yet innocent comedies about the antics of a boisterous girls' school and its inhabitants. Surprisingly though, the remake--again inspired by the Ronald Searle cartoons--manages to sidestep the bulk of the obstacles in its path, and proves itself as a likeable, entertaining comedy.
The plot of St. Trinian's is as paper-thin as you'd expect, and serves merely as a platform for the anarchic actions of the cast of characters (some hokum about stealing a picture and saving the school). And a mischievous lot they prove to be: while they don't quite live up to the memories of the generation of St. Trinian's students before them, the primarily young cast still attack their roles with tremendous, and infectious, gusto.
And leading the cast is Rupert Everett, in an entertaining duel role at St. Trinian's headmistress Miss Frinton and her brother, Carnaby. Joined by Colin Firth, he's clearly having a whale of a time, and his casting process a wise decision. It's great to see the always-wonderful Celia Imrie in there, too.
St Trinian's, as you'd expect, has plenty of problems, notably a script that relies too much on the charm of its cast to pull it through. But heck, it's still fun, and a hard film not to enjoy. It won't win Oscars, but it will put a grin on your face. --Jon Foster
Rating:
- Disappointed
Having seen and enjoyed the old series of films I suppose I was spoil with great actors and actresses and expected to be entertained by the new film the same. I was really disappointed with it, i found the acting less than satisfactory and also wooden in places. I tried to stick with it and give it a chance but got so bored after 30 minuets of it I turned it off and gave the DVD away. I am sure some will like it though who have not seen and enjoyed the originals.
Rating: - The worst British film i have ever seen
Annabelle Fritton (Riley) is sent to one of the worst all girl schools in the country, which is on the verge of being shutdown.
Having a lot of respect for British cinema, and being very patriotic, I am almost disgusted by how this film appears.
Gone is the genius and controversy of Trainspotting. The political correctness of Brassed off has disappeared, and we are left with a predictable, unrealistic and a sad excuse for a British film in a dreadful unfunny story about ... Read More
Rating:
- Maniac rules
Wasn't quite sure what to expect from the remake. Some of the casting is a bit off. Some of the actresses are obviously too old to play schoolgirls like Taylor is better known for playing a 20-something in "2 pints of lager" and Russell Brand is not good enough to play Flash Harry. The plot itself is a bit predictable and silly, but then again so were the original films. Not sure how well the film will translate to an oversea market as there a lot of "British" jokes reference, eg Colin Firth/Mr Darcy. ... Read More
Rating:
- Exuberance over wit
Three stars is actually two higher than I expected to give this film. Many of my worst fears were realised: wit is noticeable by its almost complete absence; peppering the film with celeb non-actors is a dismal device; and by comparison with the originals, the updated script fails to get off the ground on its own terms, but scrapes by with dozens of knowing references that (thankfully) went above my kids' heads!
So why 3 stars? Firstly, Rupert Everett: as an Alistair Sim for the 21st Century, ... Read More
Rating: - Tremendous fun
The 2007 version of St Trinians is a hilarious update on the original films featuring a wonderful cast who obviously had a great time making the film. The plot repeats many of the ideas from the originals. The worst school in the country is under threat from a conservative minister. The school is in financial jeopardy, not helped by its headmistress. It is up to the plucky girls to save the day by attempting to rob the National Gallery.
The film is bright, colourful and energetic. Contemporary girl bands ... Read More
