NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
crashgirl-dl this movie is the stupidest thing that I ever. Not only is the plot unbelievable, the characters are cliché with absolutely no character development. the main character is annoying and the change form nerd to cool kid is so sudden that you wonder did you miss some thing. The one thing that keep me going is the small hope that some how she enter and become the moral compass of the house, that doesn't happen she is soon daft into the realm of nonsense completely losing me. some may say that this movie is good for a few giggles, but truly I couldn't even crack a smile. I feel sick watching the so called feminism, watching girls, yes GIRLS perform what the audience can only imagine as sexual favor for men. I say girls because when in the movie the often refer to the school as college. I don't know what age people go to college in great Britain but six year old and what I can only surmise is 16-17 yr. old aren't in college, so an adult Russell Brand hitting on the "heads girl" is totally inappropriate. what is worst is that is not the only thing wrong with this movie. from the girls selling bootleg vodka that is killing people to the teachers only reason for being there is to prove that the decrepit build is indeed a school. coupled with fact that the head mistress is a man. and more moments like that. this movie is stupid.
Jafar Iqbal Annabelle Fritton joins St Trinian's, a school for 'young ladies' that prides itself on the anarchic doctrine of free expression. Fritton struggles to fit in at first, but manages to win them over as all the girls band together to try and save the school from bankruptcy.Okay, so 'St Trinian's' is a pretty awful film, nobody is going to argue that. It's unashamedly predictable, full of stereotypical characters and clichéd scenes and sequences. At every turn, the film gets more and more absurd, and I found myself shaking my head continuously.But here's the thing: as awful as it is, there's something about the film which stopped me from hating it. Because, to be fair, it was made to be awful. 'St Trinian's' is a good old-fashioned British pantomime on the big screen. You have the man in drag, you have the overly-stereotyped characters, you have the completely ridiculous story where nothing makes sense. Perhaps the only thing missing were songs but, other than that, this may as well have been a panto.More than that, though, what endears me about the movie is just how much British talent is on offer. It's like a who's who of young British actors – Talulah Riley, Tamsin Egerton, Lily Cole, Juno Temple and Gemma Arteton to name just a few – all given their time to shine and doing a good job. Egerton, in particular, is excellent as the stupid blonde, getting by with her sex appeal and sheer good luck. It's also nice to see actors like Colin Firth, Stephen Fry and Rupert Everett especially make fun of themselves.Like I say, this is a really awful film, but it's a movie so rubbish that it's actually quite good. I'll never voluntarily choose to watch 'St Trinian's'; but get me drunk enough the night before, and this is a more than adequate Sunday hangover movie.
Ben Larson This film is a lot more interesting if you are very familiar with Colin Firth, as it references some of his roles (Pride and Prejudice, and Girl with a Pearl Earring). There are scenes in the film that are exact duplicates, and the dog being named Mr. Darcy refers to his role.Of course the headmistress (Rupert Everett) is a dead ringer for a certain Duchess.I enjoyed Russell Brand as Flash, and I just loved Holly and Cloe Mackie as Tara and Tania. They were adorable.It was a enjoyable light comedy. A bit more edge and it would have been great.
gcushion3 I love this film! It's mainly a girlie film but boys won't say no! It's so funny and I think that there were a lot of very good actors in this, especially Gemma Arterton. It had a great story-line and it seemed to flow nicely. I think that the 12 age rating was suitable but I think the 15 Ireland rating was a bit harsh as there are a few sex references and the girls do dress very tarty, but it's all for the comedic effect. As soon as this came out on DVD it was on my shelf. This is one of my favorite films ever and anyone will like it, even my parents did! Overall I would say that St. Trinians is a funny film, ideal for girlie sleepovers. I would rate it 9/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone 10-11+.
